NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE
Naturopathic Medicine is based on the principles of preventive medicine, lifestyle education, natural treatment of the individual as a whole, and enhancing the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
Snowcreek's Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are trained and licensed as primary care physicians. They teach each patient to use diet, exercise, and cutting edge natural therapies to enhance the body's ability to combat and ward off illness. To do so, our naturopathic physicians craft comprehensive treatment plans, specific to each individual, that combine the best of modern medical science with traditional natural medical approaches to both treat disease and restore health.
At Snowcreek, the practice of naturopathic medicine is based on principles of medical tradition and scientific evidence:
- Let nature heal the body.
- By identifying and removing barriers to self-healing, our naturopathic physicians promote the healing process.
- Identify and treat the cause of the symptoms.
- Naturopathic physicians address the root causes of illness.
- Educate each individual patient.
- Our naturopathic doctors are educators as well as physicians. They teach patients how to nurture themselves, both emotionally and physically.
- Treat the individual as a whole.
- Naturopathic physicians take many factors—physical, mental, emotional, genetic, sexual—into account to tailor a comprehensive treatment strategy.
- Take steps to prevent illness from occurring.
Because proactive medicine saves money, misery, and lives, our naturopathic physicians evaluate risk factors, heredity, and vulnerability to disease. By promoting greater wellness, they guard against future illness.
