What can naturopathy do for me?
Naturopathic treatments are defined as a type of alternative medicine. They are rooted in the idea that certain types of conditions, diseases, and overall pain can be treated and/or prevented without the use of drugs or invasive procedures.
So, you may be wondering, “How can this be done?” There are three main components to naturopathy: diet, exercise, and massage. These natural remedies help enhance the healing process of the body, in order to allow for a faster recovery.
Some naturopathic treatments have been around for centuries, but modern practices pair traditional elements with modern science, in order to allow for the best treatment plan possible. Our naturopathic doctors aim to get to the root cause of the problem, rather than simply eliminating symptoms – by doing this, you can experience long-lasting relief, rather than momentary comfort.
Common areas that individuals seek naturopathic medicine include but are not limited to:
- Sports Performance
- Women's Health & Pregnancy
- Detoxification
- Digestive Health & Nutrition
- Heart Health and Diabetes
- Aging Gracefully
- Cosmetic/Facial Acupuncture
How can I get started?
Naturopathic treatments begin with an extensive examination, in order to determine the root cause of your discomfort and treat it accordingly. In fact, your naturopathic doctor may spend 1-2 hours examining you before your treatments begin, in order to arrive at the best possible treatment solution for you. You will be asked questions regarding your medical history, lifestyle habits, stress levels, and severity of pain, in order to give your naturopathic doctor a better idea of how to proceed.
From there, a treatment plan will be created based on your individual needs. Naturopathic treatments focus very heavily on education and prevention, in order to decrease the risk of pain or discomfort returning in the future. This may be accomplished through any combination of treatment methods, including, but not limited to:
- Diet
- Exercise
- Stress Management
- Homeopathy
- Herbal Medicine
- Acupuncture
- Massage
