What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare using natural therapies. Naturopathic doctors offer holistic treatment plans with an emphasis on patient education, disease prevention, and whole-person wellness. Naturopathic doctors use evidence-based medicine along with ancient healing modalities to customize treatment. Treatment approaches may include clinical nutrition, lifestyle counseling, mineral and vitamin supplements, herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, and bio-identical hormones.

What can a Naturopathic Doctor treat?

NDs are primary care providers trained in conventional medical sciences, diagnosis, and treatment. They are experts in natural therapeutics and view the individual as an integral whole, taking into account the physiological, psychological, social, spiritual, environmental, and lifestyle factors that could be affecting your health. 

Naturopathic doctors can provide annual screenings, lab tests, and exams to ensure you stay well. Because they prioritize noninvasive treatment, naturopathic doctors make excellent primary care providers. Naturopathic medicine is ideal for the treatment of acute and chronic complaints including:

  • Weight management
  • Hormone balancing
  • Allergies
  • Skin rashes
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Pain
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Cold/flu
  • Digestive complaints
  • Thyroid disorders
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Neurodevelopmental disorders including ADD, ADHD, and autism

How Our Patients Are Healing from the Root Cause
“

I just underwent an IVF embryo transfer and my doctor recommended acupuncture to help with the implantation process.  Since my transfer, I've been beyond stressed and scared and worried, like what if it doesn't work, will my husband leave me, will I ever be able to have kids.... Etc. I feel none of that now. I feel weightless. Mind, body and soul. I feel so strong and so hopeful. If you've ever been on the fence about acupuncture, just go and try it already. I'm disappointed I waited 27 years to do this. Thank you so much, Joe!

"I remember after seeing Dave for my initial consultation I left with a feeling of being cared for and hope that my situation would improve. Not only did it improve, it has healed. No more surgery needed. I've suffered from digestive issues, anxiety, sleep troubles, aches and pains caused by the physical demands of my profession. Dave has helped me with ALL of it. The quality of my life has vastly improved as a result of his care."
