Naturopathic medicine is primary care and complementary medicine that treats the underlying cause of disease. It is an art and a science that helps with prevention, diagnosis, and treating one’s physical, mental, and emotional conditions using the body’s natural healing processes as much as possible.
At Optimal Health Collective (OHC), our naturopathic doctors (NDs) provide individualized patient care via evidence based and evidence informed treatments. This can be through use of nutrition, lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, acupuncture, diagnostic testing, injection therapies, and conventional medicine when appropriate.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Your first appointment is about 50 minutes and involves a full medical history intake, any necessary physical exams, and diagnostic testing if needed. Education around benefits and risks of any proposed treatments are then discussed. This is to encourage self-responsibility for one’s health and to emphasize informed decision making on treatments. After this thorough clinical assessment, your ND at OHC will then provide you with your customized treatment plan focused on your healthcare goals.
