What is Naturopathic Medicine? |
|
Naturopathic medicine is the art and science of natural medicine focusing on the body’s vital ability to heal itself. As primary health care providers, Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) focus on disease prevention, patient education, health maintenance, diagnosis of diseases and treatment illnesses with the aid of non-invasive natural therapies. Naturopathic treatment can compliment conventional treatment or be used effectively on its own. Through a thorough medical intake, lab work, and physical exams NDs identify the root cause of your disease and develop a unique personalized treatment protocol.
The following modalities are available throughout the course of naturopathic care:
- Clinical Nutritional
- Botanical Medicine
- Traditional Asian Medicine and Acupuncture
- Homeopathy
- Physical Medicine
- Lifestyle Counselling
OHIP does not cover the fees of a Naturopathic Doctor, however, many extended healthcare providers do. Insured patients can check with their employer or insurance agent to see if they are covered.
Naturopathic services are tax deductible. |
