What is a Naturopathic Doctor?
Much can be understood
about what a Naturopathic Doctor is can be understood by reading
the Naturopathic Philosophy page.
Because naturopathic doctors do not specialize in the same way
as other doctors, we are Dermatologists, Ear-Nose-Throat specialists,
Endocrinoligists, Gastroenterologists, General Practitioners,
Gynecologists, Neurologists, Pediatricians, Psychiatrists, Counselors,
and many others all in our own way treating the whole patient
instead of one area of the body.
As a naturopathic
doctor, my specialty is correcting why you have the symptoms
and/or disease you have and not only suppressing the symptoms
or even treating the disease. Naturopathic doctors do not specialize
in areas of the body like MD's because we treat the whole body.
Every disease or condition of one part or system of the body is
related to another. For example, skin is related to the liver,
allergies to the digestive system, infections related to your
immune and digestive systems, and cancer is related to many systems
of the body, just to name a few. Therefore, if one only treats
the place or system of the body where the disease is showing up,
the disease process will not stop progressing by only using suppressive
methods.
My purpose for you
is to teach you how to heal your body from the inside out. To
teach you how to get out of your body's own way to health and
healing. All my treatments are based in my philosophy that the
body has the ability to heal itself by removing any and all obstacles
your body may have to heal. I use many evidence based treatments
as well as traditional. Click on the modalities page to read the
different methods I will use for you.
Sometimes we need to look at
things from outside the box and take another approach. I can provide
a completely different and sometimes opposite point of view of
treatment.
