What type of conditions do naturopathic physicians treat?
You can see a naturopath for almost any reason you would choose to see a primary care physician. Yet more importantly to sustain health, naturopathic physicians identify the underlying cause of illness and treat the state of the person rather than the disease. Some common concerns that are addressed by naturopaths include: • Prevention of disease, wellness and detoxification • Acute illnesses (colds, flu, ear infections, sinus infections) • Cardiovascular disorders (high blood pressure, high cholesterol) • Digestive disturbances (heartburn, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, bloating) • Autoimmune conditions ( Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis) • Endocrine Imbalances (hormonal imbalance, Type II Diabetes, menopause) • Gynecological disorders (PMS, fibroids, cysts, menstrual irregularities) • Headaches, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Anxiety, Allergies • … and a host of many other conditions.
