Naturopathic Patient Care
Naturopathic medical doctors (NMD) receive similar levels of training and share similar diagnostic and assessment skills, but the foundational philosophy of medicine differs from conventional medicine. NMD approach to medicine is slightly different than that of most medical doctors. NMDs treat patients as a whole person by addressing the physical, lifestyle, environmental, mental, and emotional aspects of health and wellbeing. This allows our naturopathic doctors to find and treat the cause of the disease, individualized, and not just symptoms, using a variety of therapies, such as:
1. Botanical medicine
2. IV therapy
3. Pharmaceutical prescription, if it is necessary
4. Adjuvant treatment to traditional medicine
5. Referral to specialist/hospital/ER if necessary
6. Hormone replacement therapy
7. IM therapy
8. PRP therapy
9. Nutritional supplements
10. Homeopathic remedies
11. Trigger points therapy
