Naturopathic doctors are trained in making the 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 functional members of society, as well. So, if that means starting with a therapy that requires a higher-force 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 re-established the foundations of health, and have utilized our tools to assist your body in achieving optimal functioning, then at that time, the higher therapeutic intervention(s) are no longer needed and can be discontinued. We are not in the business of covering up your symptoms and sending you on your way; we take the time to dive deeply into your health history, family history, genetics, diet, exercise, sleep, work, stress, etc. – in other words, we look at all of the ways that you are uniquely you, and we work with you in a combined effort to make the changes that will work for your individual daily lifestyle. Our overarching approach is not to fit you into a box or to practice cookie-cutter medicine.
