Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care—an art, science, philosophy, and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease. Relying on the healing power of nature, naturopathic doctors seek to treat the whole person in a collaborative relationship with the patient. 

 

N.D.’s are trained, licensed, and skilled in the conventional tools of diagnosis: lab testing, x-ray, physical exams, etc., and are able to prescribe most pharmaceuticals in addition to creating completely natural treatment programs.
