Naturopathic Medicine combines modern medicine with evidence-based treatments such as nutrition, lifestyle counseling, physical therapy, acupuncture, homeopathy and botanical medicine. Naturopathic doctors have a minimum of seven years of post-secondary education and are the only primary care providers trained in natural therapeutics. Naturopathic Doctors treat a wide range of conditions alone or in conjunction with other health care practitioners such as medical doctors, chiropractors, dietitians, psychologists, etc.
Naturopathic Doctors care about you and your health. They take the time to conduct a detailed intake that examines all areas of your health, which not only includes your main health concerns, but your diet, stress levels, and lifestyle. The more information you can give your doctor, the better an individualized treatment plan can be developed for you. A physical exam may be conducted that focuses on your chief concerns. NDs can perform gynecological and PAP tests. Blood work or urine tests may be required. NDs can order standard laboratory tests, as well as perform in-house testing for urine, strep throat and pregnancy.
