Naturopathic Medicine
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic Medicine is a holistic and preventative form of healthcare that aims to identify and treat the root causes of illness, rather than just the symptoms. Naturopathic doctors use a combination of conventional methods such as lab tests and diagnostics, as well as natural therapies including hands-on treatment for musculoskeletal issues, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplementation.
At Jericho, we believe in the following principles of Naturopathic Medicine:
- Minimizing the risk of harmful side effects
- Encouraging the body’s self-healing processes
- Treating the person as a whole – acknowledging how mental and physical health both impact well-being
- Prevention of disease
Who can Naturopathic Medicine help?
Anyone seeking holistic and personalized healthcare can benefit from Naturopathic Medicine. NDs are able to run lab tests, exams, and conduct detailed 75-minute intakes. While both the naturopaths at Jericho have the ability to provide pharmaceutical prescriptions if needed, treatment plans generally focus primarily on lifestyle changes, physical therapy and/or supplement support.
Naturopathic Doctors formulate a treatment plan that is personalized to each individual. Treatment plans aim to maximize efficacy while minimizing side effects and ensuring safety. The naturopathic approach is an excellent choice for treating and managing chronic diseases or health issues that have not responded to other forms of treatment.
