What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopaths are licensed primary care physicians that diagnose a wide spectrum of illnesses, provide physical exams, run diagnostic testing, order appropriate x-rays/imaging and treat patients by using natural modalities. Such modalities as herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, homeopathy, physical medicine, therapeutic injections, bio-identical hormone replacement, counseling, hydrotherapy, and prescription pharmacology when needed.
