Naturopathy

What is naturopathic medicine?

Naturopathic medicine focuses on the prevention and treatment of diseases by natural means, to stimulate the body’s inherent healing capacity.
Naturopathic doctors apply a holistic approach towards health, through using a number of natural therapies such as diet and lifestyle counselling, prescribing herbal and nutritional dietary supplements, traditional Chinese medicine, and acupuncture to treat their patients.

Who are NDs in Ontario?

Naturopathic doctors also known as NDs, or Naturopaths have regulated health care providers in Ontario who may act as your primary or adjunctive health care providers (depending on individualized health conditions) to prevent, diagnose, and treat non-emergent, most common and chronic health conditions through natural therapies.

Naturopathic doctors try to identify and treat the root causes of your symptoms, and to treat you as a whole person, meaning they try to take into consideration the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of an individual.
Naturopathic Doctors try to educate their patients about health conditions, the healing process of a disease, and some disease preventative strategies.

Naturopathic Doctors have studied basic biomedical science and pharmacology, which make them capable to communicate with other health care providers such as family physicians, specialists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, etc. if needed.

Their studies allow them to understand medications’ main indication, the general mechanism of action, common side effects, and possible interactions and contraindications between prescribed medications and dietary supplements. 

Naturopathy

Your naturopath can also interpret the result of basic diagnostic blood and urine test and imaging, and create an individualized treatment plan based on her interpretation and the result of your naturopathic assessment.

Please note that NDs and medical doctors (MDs) have some distinct differences with regard to their education and their health care approaches.

Conditions that can be managed with collaborative naturopathic medicine include but are not limited to:
Digestive disorders: constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating, acid reflux
Women’s Health: painful menses, irregular menses, symptoms related to menopause, polycystic ovaries
Cardiovascular health: high cholesterol, high triglycerides
Endocrine Health: Diabetes, underactive thyroid disease
Skin health: eczema, hair loss, acne
Mental health support: insomnia (mild-moderate), Stress (mild-moderate), low mood (mild-moderate)

When I called in for my bad back, I was easily booked in for the next day. I explained to Angela how I had hurt my back trying to do deadlifts at the gym. She offered me shock therapy and gave me exercises to do at home. I will definitely be going back 🙂

I can't recommend Angela enough for physiotherapy,! I have had a couple of instances of very painful pinched nerves in my neck and back, and each time over the course of a few sessions she has helped relax the muscles and ease the pain. Angela is a very patient and caring person who helps by explaining the science of how muscles and nerves work together. You come away feeling you are in very capable hands. 100%, I would recommend her and will keep coming back myself!
