| A naturopathic physician is trained as a family doctor that treats many health problems, covering all aspects of family health from prenatal to geriatric care. Naturopathic medicine concentrates on whole-patient wellness and emphasizes prevention and self-care. This medical system allows each patient to receive individualized care specific to their body’s physiological needs. The underlying cause of the patient’s condition is treated effectively, usually without the use of drugs. Naturopathic physicians cooperate with all other branches of medical science, referring patients to other practitioners for diagnosis or treatment when appropriate.
The wide range of modalities used by naturopathic physicians allows them to tailor treatment to the needs and beliefs of their patients.
