Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is not just the use of natural therapies; it is the art and science of individualized health care, going beyond superficial symptoms, and getting to the root cause of the illness or disease. Naturopathic physicians are primary care and specialty physicians who address the underlying cause of disease through effective, individualized natural therapies that integrate the healing powers of body, mind and spirit.

Naturopathic physicians (N.D.s) are the highest trained practitioners in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. In addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes clinical nutrition, lifestyle counseling, botanical (herbal) medicine, homeopathic medicine, natural childbirth, physical medicine (ex:hydrotherapy & naturopathic manipulative therapy) pharmacology and minor surgery. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting people of all ages.
