Naturopathic philosophy serves as the basis for naturopathic practice.
The current scope of naturopathic practice includes, but is not limited
to: |
- Clinical Nutrition
That food is the best medicine is a cornerstone of naturopathic
practice. Many medical conditions can be treated more effectively
with foods and nutritional supplements than they can by other
means, with fewer complications and side effects. Naturopathic
physicians use dietetics, natural hygiene, fasting, and nutritional
supplementation in practice.
- Botanical Medicine
Many plant substances are powerful medicines. Where single chemically-derived
drugs may only address a single problem, botanical medicines are
able to address a variety of problems simultaneously. Their organic
nature makes botanicals compatible with the body's own chemistry;
hence, they can be gently effective with few toxic side effects.
- Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathic medicine is based on the principle of "like cures
like." It works on a subtle yet powerful electromagnetic
level, gently acting to strengthen the body's healing and immune
response.
- Physical Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine has its own methods of therapeutic manipulation
of muscles, bones, and spine. ND's also use ultrasound, diathermy,
exercise, massage, water, heat and cold, air, and gentle electrical
pulses.
- Oriental Medicine
Oriental medicine is a complimentary healing philosophy to naturopathic
medicine. Meridian theory offers an important understanding of
the unity of the body and mind, and adds to the Western understanding
of physiology. Acupuncture provides a method of treatment which
can unify and harmonize the imbalances present in disease conditions,
which, if untreated, can result in illness.
- Naturopathic Obstetrics
Naturopathic physicians provide natural childbirth care in an
out-of-hospital setting. They offer prenatal and postnatal care
using modern diagnostic techniques. The naturopathic approach
strengthens healthy body functions so that complications associated
with pregnancy may be prevented.
- Psychological Medicine
Mental attitudes and emotional states may influence, or even cause,
physical illness. Counseling, nutritional balancing, stress management,
hypnotherapy, biofeedback, and other therapies are used to help
patients heal on the psychological level.
- Minor Surgery
As general practitioners, ND's do in office-minor surgery including
repair of superficial wounds, removal of foreign bodies, cysts,
and other superficial masses.
