Naturopathic medicine uses diagnostic methods similar to conventional medicine, such as blood work and imaging, but differs greatly in that it focuses on the uniqueness of each individual, and integrates mind, body and spirit.
A visit with a Naturopathic Physician is very much like a visit with a conventional medical doctor, which includes a thorough medical history, a review of your health concerns and diagnoses, lab work, current medications, and self-treatments. Visits are typically much longer, however, and focus on not just lab work, but an in-depth understanding of lifestyle and inner wisdom.
Naturopathic Physicians use the least invasive therapies to promote optimal health. This always begins with diet and lifestyle counseling. Nutritional supplementation, botanical medicine, and homeopathy are used to restore, optimize, and maintain good health. Rather than treating symptoms, Naturopathic Physicians look for a root cause of illness. Whole person care is the goal. Working in a partnership with a Naturopathic Physician helps each patient to learn new behaviors and effective solutions for their healthcare concerns. Optimally, prevention can be the focus of the doctor­patient relationship. Indeed, you will be an active and responsible participant in your treatment plan.
