Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary healthcare profession that focuses on prevention, treatment, and optimal health using natural therapies. Our team of licensed naturopathic doctors works with you to develop personalized treatment plans that address your unique health concerns. At Integral Health, we prioritize patient-centered care and work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to ensure that you receive comprehensive and integrated treatment. Our goal is to empower you to take an active role in your health and wellness journey. Naturopaths use a range of natural therapies and techniques, including herbal medicine, nutritional counseling, homeopathy, acupuncture, and lifestyle counseling, to support the body’s healing process. They also emphasize the importance of preventive medicine and encourage patients to make healthy lifestyle choices that can promote overall wellness. Naturopathy is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medicine, and many people find it to be a safe and effective way to manage a variety of health conditions.
A First-Time Visit’s Expectations
Your initial session with your naturopathic doctor will last 60 to 90 minutes, during which time you may anticipate a thorough assessment of your initial health concern or state of health. Depending on time constraints, a targeted physical exam might also be included in the initial consultation or might be saved for the follow-up appointment. If further time is required, a follow-up consultation will be scheduled, and a unique treatment strategy will be put into practice. The diagnosis from the previous visit will inform the treatment plan, and depending on the patient, different natural therapies will be used to restore balance to their health. Your initial visit’s fee covers both a urinalysis and a test for zinc deficiency.
