Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is a unique system of healthcare that combines scientific research and diagnostic testing with traditional healing therapeutics. Naturopaths are considered primary care physicians as well as specialists in preventative medicine. Treatment Principals of Naturopathy Treat the Whole Person We treat the complex interaction of physical, mentalemotional, spiritual, and social factors that impact health and wellness. Identify and Treat the Cause We take the time to understand the cause of the illness, not just eliminate or suppress the symptoms.
The Healing Power of Nature
Our bodies have the capacity to heal, as physicians we facilitate and enhance this process. First Do No Harm The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms, which are an expression of the life force attempting to heal itself. Suppressing symptoms without addressing the underlying cause is harmful and should be avoided or minimized. Prevention Naturopathic physicians assess risk factors and susceptibility to disease and choose appropriate early interventions to prevent illness.
Doctor as Teacher
Naturopathic physicians educate patients and encourage them to actively participate in their own health and wellness program.
