Naturopathic practice blends millennia old natural, nontoxic therapies with advances in the science and understanding of health and disease, covering all aspects of family medicine and most medical specialty fields.
Naturopathic medicine concentrates on whole-patient wellness, centering on helping people understand their current state of health with an emphasis on prevention and self-care. We explore physical, emotional and environmental factors that may contribute to a condition where optimal health is compromised. Naturopathic medicine attempts to find the underlying cause of the patient's condition rather than focusing on symptomatic treatment; looking to solve problems, not mask them.
Herbal Medicine Many plants are powerful medicines, effective and safe when prescribed properly. Naturopathic physicians are the only licensed health care providers fully trained in the use of plant medicine.
Homeopathy One of the most powerful and effective systems of naturopathic medicine, homeopathy can be used to treat both physical and mental/emotional ailments. Remedies are prescribed to stimulate the body to heal itself.
Bio-therapeutic drainage Complex homeopathic remedies are used to promote detoxification and a return
to normal physiological function.
Diet & Lifestyle Counseling Counseling on diet, life-style, exercise, and occupational and environmental hazards is an integral part of the naturopathic treatment program.
Therapeutic Nutrition Many conditions are treated successfully through focused supplemental intervention. Targeted nutritional therapies have fewer complications and side effects than pharmaceutical drugs.
Intravenous Therapy IV medicine is well suited as a natural interventional therapy, as it enables us to introduce the nutrients you need directly into the bloodstream. Micronutrient IV’s are especially effective in acute conditions requiring immediate results e.g. immune stimulation in colds and flu, mononucleosis etc, and also benefits most chronic diseases.
Physical medicine Hydrotherapy, infrared sauna, injections and soft tissue work may be included in the treatment plan. The Bowen technique is a gentle, effective form of bodywork that addresses both the musculo-skeletal and internal organ systems and may also be part of the treatment plan.
Diagnosis Naturopathic physicians use many conventional diagnostic tools including a thorough health history, physical examinations, X-rays, and comprehensive laboratory tests when indicated.
Prescription Medicines Sometimes your situation requires the use of prescription drugs. We will refer you to a medical practitioner to prescribe these only when necessary and appropriate, but without hesitation.
