Naturopathic medicine is a system of medicines that has been practiced in North America for over 125 years. It is a distinct form of primary health care that is patient-focused. Through a comprehensive intake, your Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.) will create a naturopathic assessment, diagnosis, and treatment which utilizes natural therapies that emphasize prevention, treatment and optimal health. Naturopathic Doctors treat people of all ages and using a functional medicine approach, will identify any biochemical and physiological imbalances in the body.

Naturopathic medicine does not replace conventional western medicine. Instead it helps to enhance the individual’s health by adding different components that conventional western medicine may be limited too. When integrated, at times, naturopathic medicine and conventional western medicine can work together synergistically for the benefit of the patient.
