Naturopathic Physicians are trained as General Practitioners with extra added training in natural therapeutics. We see anything your GP would see from colds/flu, digestive difficulties, sleep disorders, fatigue, headadches, reproductive health issues, pain syndromes ect.
We focus on treating the root cause of the disorder rather than just the symptoms. For example, if you have a headache my focus would be to figure out why you have that headache (maybe food allergies, hormone imbalance, stress..) rather than just focus on pain medication. We do however have prescription rights and will use them only when neccessary.
We are integrative practitioners and work in conjuction with traditional MD's and just like any other physician many of us specialize(Oncology, Endocrinology, Pediatrics).
Our modalities include nutrition, herbology, homeopathy, Chinese medicine/acupuncture and IV/injection therapies just to name a few.
