Using specific and targeted natural therapies and interventions, including but not limited to supplements (e.g. vitamins, minerals, amino acids) and herbal treatments. Naturopathic medical doctors are trained to make an effort to utilize the least therapeutic force when treating patients; however, we are also very passionate about ensuring that our patients are able to be their most creative, artistic, compassionate and functioning members of society. So if that means starting with a therapy that requires a higher force, or greater intervention, then we do what is required to ensure that your quality of life does not suffer while we work on treating the root cause of the problem. Once we have established the foundations of health and have utilized our tools to assist your body in achieving optimal functioning, at that time, the higher therapeutic intervention(s) are no longer needed and can be discontinued.
