NATUROPATHS IN MARKHAM

DC Chiropractic Has You Covered With a Brilliant Naturopath Services in Markham

Before deciding to take a Western medicine approach for your health care needs, get a second opinion by visiting your neighborhood Naturopath in Markham.

WHAT IS NATUROPATHY?

Naturopathy targets health at all levels – mental, emotional, and physical. It is a system that works to optimize our innate healing abilities while targeting the root cause of illness versus just providing symptomatic relief. Individualized care ensures that treatment is not just a textbook protocol, but instead – that is tailored to your body and your health goals.

WHY USE NATUROPATHY?

A lot of people are hesitant about using naturopath services because they are not sure how effective the approach can be.  It is important to note that naturopathic doctors are real doctors and that they are fully capable and accredited to provide you with medical advice.  Sometimes the most effective approach to heal a condition is a hybrid approach between naturopathy and western medicine.  It only limits your options by not exploring a naturopathic treatment and when it comes to our health and our bodies – why not be aware of what all of our options are?  You do not have to choose between naturopathy and western medicine, but it is important that you understand the benefits and the implications of both and come to a decision on your on as to what you believe is best for you.

Naturopathic remedies are typically derived from natural sources such as herbs and vitamins, and naturopaths can use them in conjunction with other types of treatment. Our Markham naturopathic doctor may recommend regular exercise as well. Their approach focuses on preventing disease by fostering a healthy lifestyle.

Our naturopathic doctor believes that using food and movement as medicine are key foundations to sustainable wellness. It provides a safe listening ear to explore your health concerns. She is evidence-informed and uses a combination of traditional knowledge and current research to provide a thorough diagnosis and treatment plan.

BENEFITS OF NATUROPATHY

Some benefits of visiting a naturopath are:

• A naturopath generally spends more time with their patients. The patient is not rushed during their naturopathic appointment which allows for greater focus on correcting issues and prescribing remedies that are best suited to each patient’s unique needs
• Naturopaths use natural therapies to treat and heal chronic conditions. Instead of masking symptoms, naturopathic practitioners look for the root cause of a condition and treat it directly in order to prevent further damage or symptom flare-ups from occurring. This puts naturopathic doctors at an advantage as many other forms of treatment do not usually seek out the root cause of a condition
• Naturopaths provide an alternative solution to invasive procedures and medicine. Although these western medicine procedures are sometimes unavoidable, there are countless instances where a naturopathic approach can help you avoid the need to perform some surgeries or ingest strong medicines that can cause several long-term adverse effects.
• Naturopathic approaches can provide remedies to conditions you may not even be aware that you have yet. Because of the holistic approach used by our Naturopath in Markham, your entire body can benefit from simply attempting to remedy a single adversarial condition.
• Naturopathy can also prevent other unrelated conditions from arising by focusing on a remedial approach to a single, more specific condition. This is because most naturopathic remedies force the body to become more healthy as a whole, and these can have amazing, positive effects on your healing process, but also your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing as a whole.
• Naturopathy generally requires organic foods and supplements to be included in your diet. This approach prevents the body from absorbing additives, preservatives, and other harmful ingredients that can normally be found in diets linked to several autoimmune diseases as well as mental issues which can result in more detrimental complications in the future.
• You will feel better about yourself by putting the overall health of your body first and knowing that you explored all of your options about taking a preventative approach before opting for a reactive approach.
