Individualized
Treatment
Naturopathic treatments are highly individualized.
Each patient has a unique story, history, genetics, dietary habits, lifestyle
and associated health concerns.
A naturopathic doctor will work to determine the
underlying cause(s) and create an individualized treatment plan to stimulate a
person’s innate healing ability. Patients are also involved in their health
program and learn to make effective, educated, self-care decisions that can
prevent future health problems.
Working With
Conventional Medicine
Naturopathic
doctors can and do work with conventional medical doctors. ND’s are trained to
refer patients to other health care practitioners, where appropriate. Most
naturopathic doctors cross-refer extensively to other health care practitioners.
