Naturopathic Medicine is a form of primary health care that uses natural therapies to stimulate the body’s own healing process. It can identify and remove obstacles to recovery while exposing patients to minimal risks and side effects. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are licensed practitioners trained in integrative, evidence-based medicine and can provide a full range of diagnostic tests and therapies, including Acupuncture, Clinical Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Hydrotherapy, Intravenous Therapy, Lifestyle Coaching, Pharmaceutical Medicine, and Targeted Supplementation.
Naturopathic Doctors can, when deemed appropriate, prescribe pharmaceutical drugs in support of your overall treatment plan, such as bio-identical hormones, antibiotics, anti-parasitics, etc. We work closely with your Medical Doctors to ensure that every medication is tailored to you in a manner most befitting your individual circumstance; the right medication, at the right dose, at the right time.
