Naturopathic doctors are able to diagnose and treat the same conditions as medical doctors.
Naturopathic medicine is especially effective when it comes to chronic conditions, which often involve long-term use of pharmaceuticals.
In addition, naturopathic doctors are trained to recognize conditions outside their scope of practice and to refer to other health practitioners when it is appropriate to do so. However, it is becoming more common to find naturopathic doctors working with other health professionals including medical doctors, osteopaths, massage therapists, and midwives, to provide the best possible care for our patients. Furthermore, because naturopathic medicine is preventative in nature, you do not have to be sick to see a naturopathic doctor. There are many dietary and lifestyle changes we can help you adopt to improve your overall health and prevent serious illness.
