What is the average amount of time people remain under the care of a Naturopathic Physician?
That depends mostly on you, what your health problems are, how fast or slowly your body responds to the therapies, and how actively you participate in the treatment. Remember, this is a natural process that works with the healing ability of your body it cannot be rushed. Once a person gets back into a balance, they need only return if other complaints arise. The goal of a naturopathic physician is to make a person’s vitality stronger than they were before. When a person is functioning optimally they are more resistant to infection and disease allowing them a better quality of life and less trips to the doctor in the future. The best part about Naturopathic medicine is that it is individualized to the patient. No two patients are treated alike, because no two patients are exactly the same. Treatments are based on the person’s specific needs and adjusted to meet the changes of the individual.
