Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Doctors (ND) have a unique perspective. Although
they specialize in natural medicine, they are also well trained
in conventional medicine. This enables them to provide a balanced
view about your health concerns – integrating scientific research
with the healing powers of nature. The primary goal of Naturopathic
Medicine is to prevent disease. However, once a disease state
is reached, ND’s then focus on uncovering the root cause of
disease. This is accomplished by looking at the whole person,
taking into account the physical, mental and spiritual aspects
of their health. ND’s have a variety of treatment options that
are designed to work with the body’s inherent ability to heal
itself. These treatments are gentle and natural while proving
to be safe and effective. Training for Naturopathic Doctors
includes several different treatment modalities. These modalities
are Botanical Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Homeopathy, Hydrotherapy,
Lifestyle Counseling, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.
