- Clinical Nutrition – There is an intrinsic relationship between nutrition and wellness.

They can also diagnose and treat numerous conditions that result from nutrient deficiencies.

- Homeopathy – Originally developed during the 18th century by the physician Samuel Hahnemann, this unique form of medicine is used widely by medical practitioners in Europe but is just beginning to take hold in North America.

- Physical Medicine and Hydrotherapy – Hydrotherapy, or the stimulation of blood and lymphatic fluid circulation using hot and cold water, is also prescribed to patients extensively for boosting immune function and supporting detoxification, skin health, and overall vitality. Naturopathic Doctors are trained in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders such as joint pain, back pain, neck pain, muscle tension, injuries, strains, and sprains and commonly work with physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and osteopathic doctors to support the healing process.
- Lifestyle Counseling – The foundations of health are clean air, clean water, exercise, healthy foods, and freedom from excess stress. Naturopathic Doctors are committed to educating and guiding their patients in making powerful positive lifestyle changes to achieve optimal health. Whatever your diagnosis, you can expect to receive some lifestyle counseling every time you visit a Naturopathic Doctor. Daily healthy habits including reducing stress and negative emotions will positively influence your health and contribute to your success.
