Naturopathic Medicine

Overview


Naturopathic medicine is a general practice discipline that emphasizes prevention, wellness, and optimal health, engaging the wisdom of nature to support the body’s inherent healing ability. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) diagnose and treat disease and use traditional therapies combined with modern medical practices to help restore, maintain, and create health. Our doctors place you at the center of our relationship-centered care model, empowering you to take charge of your health.

Naturopathic medicine can be used in many ways – to treat acute and chronic health conditions, to complement conventional medical care, and to create strategies for disease prevention and health creation. NDs perform physical exams, order labs, and prescribe and administer natural therapies. Our NDs partner with you to create a plan that addresses your concerns, optimizes health, and identifies long-term strategies for achieving your healthcare goals.
