UNDERSTANDING NATUROPATHY
Your Naturopathic Visit
Your Naturopathic Health Practitioner will make a detailed
study of your medical history in the first consultation
and pay particular attention to your lifestyle. The
Naturopath will then suggest a regimen including dietary
guidelines and other natural techniques of healing to
promote your health and well-being.
The goal for
your initial visit is to learn as much as possible about
you through an extensive patient history intake, including
an assessment of your diet, environment, toxic load,
stress, and other aspects of your lifestyle. The visit
also includes a complete physical exam and laboratory
tests – both standard and specialized, and other standard
diagnostic procedures to evaluate the status of your
physiologic functions. You will always be greeted with a
friendly smile, and be given as much time as you need to
ask any questions you may have.

Your
Initial Visit
Please
arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment
to allow time to complete your necessary paper work.

sample. You can expect your visit to be an hour and
half. |
Naturopathic medicine treats health conditions by
utilizing the body's inherent ability to heal. This is a
very safe, natural therapy which utilizes the services of
several different alternative medicine techniques to heal
prospective patients.
