A visit to the Naturopath
What happens when you Visit a Naturopath?
Naturopathic doctors
take an extensive patient history and perform physical
examinations using standard diagnostic instruments and
laboratory tests. Additional information related to
lifestyle - including diet, emotions, stress, exercise,
and exposure to environmental hazards - may be
requested. Our goal is to understand each patient and
all the aspects of their lives that impact their
health. An initial visit consists of a 1.5 hour
comprehensive intake including a physical examination as
well as an in depth case history. A highly
individualized treatment plan is created, taking into
account the physical exam, blood tests, reported
symptoms, family history, lifestyle choices and
personality traits.
The
treatment plan is then customized based on a number of
factors such as goals, needs and expectations of the
patient as well as recommendations made by the doctor.
It might include dietary recommendations, herbal
medicines, acupuncture, homeopathy and the like.
This treatment changes over time to reflect the ongoing
progress of the patient. |
