What To Expect
Our Naturopaths believe that
every patient is unique and therefore requires individualized
naturopathic care.
When visiting our Naturopathic Physician your experience will
be like no other medical consultation. You will find a person
committed to your health and wellness in a completely holistic
way.
An initial consultation takes
40 minutes. The Naturopath will take a medical history, which
will involve questions regarding your current symptoms and
health, past illnesses and operations, past and present medications,
family history and dietary information.
Non invasive tests will be performed
at this appointment which will help the practitioner diagnose
your health at the present state and to identify any problems
that may arise regarding your health in the future.
These tests are explained under
the test
section on this website.
Using the information from the medical history and results
from the tests performed allow the practitioner
to develop a treatment plan. Our Naturopaths treat the underlying
causes of disease, not just the
symptoms. This approach is necessary for the patients to achieve
optimum health and wellness over the
course of their lives. Disease affects the entire person,
not just a specific organ or system. Thoughts,
feelings, lifestyle, family history, environmental stresses,
nutritional status and general physical state are
all carefully evaluated.
The Naturopath will then advise on dietary and lifestyle changes
and where indicated prescribe
naturopathic medication to not only address the symptoms but
also address the underlying cause.
Naturopathic medication consists of herbal, nutritional and
homeopathic Medicine. Emotional factors
may also be corrected using a technique called the "Neuro
Emotional Technique" (NET).
