What is Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine addresses the root cause of your disease. Time is taken to look at all factors contributing to your problem including your health history, lifestyle, genetics, environment and mental, emotional and spiritual factors.
Views the body as a whole and complete system, not individual organs acting independently.
Strives to create a partnership with patients and engage in a relationship based on care and compassion.
Utilizes a comprehensive tool kit of treatments to help the body regain health and wellness. Modalities combine the best of traditional and western medicine and often have little to no side effects.
Naturopathic doctors attend a rigorous 4 year doctoral-level program at an accredited naturopathic school. To become licensed, they must sit for board exams and complete regular CE credits. To read more about naturopathic medicine:
