Naturopathic medicine is a primary health care system that is aimed at addressing the underlying cause of disease.

It takes a comprehensive approach to health through an individualized model of patient care that centers around health promotion and disease prevention.

 

Naturopathic doctors use a range of natural modalities as part of their treatment plans, including clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, diet/lifestyle counseling, bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT), and acupuncture.

They can order standard and specialized laboratory testing and can conduct complete physical exams as part of their assessments and in making diagnoses.

 

Some of the most common conditions treated with naturopathic medicine are:

 

Hormone imbalances - irregular periods, painful periods, infertility, PCOS, menopause, endometriosis, fibroids, PMS

Digestive upset – bloating, food sensitivities, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, IBS, IBD

Pain – headache, arthritis, joint pain, back pain, sports injuries

Stress related concerns – anxiety, depression, fatigue, poor sleep
