Naturopathic Medicine in San Francisco
Naturopathic medicine combines traditional medicines with current scientific research to support and stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Rather than treating a collection of symptoms, a naturopathic doctor understands these symptoms as warning signs of underperforming body systems and addresses the underlying root causes to support the body as a whole.
Individual, Holistic Patient Care
Naturopathic medicine is based on the understanding that each patient is unique, and an individual approach is needed to address the physical, environmental, lifestyle and emotional aspects of health. Looking at a full patient history alongside laboratory test results allows our naturopathic doctor to find and address the unique root causes of a patient’s symptoms using a variety of therapies.
A Whole-Body Approach
Whereas conventional medicine typically aims to reduce the symptoms of the diagnosed disease using pharmaceutical therapies or surgery, a naturopath looks for the root causes of those symptoms, allowing issues to be addressed earlier in their development and from a variety of angles.
Our team treats health concerns at all stages, helping to support overall wellness and improve the quality of life for those with mild to serious concerns. In addition, your naturopathic doctor can work in collaboration with your MD where necessary to support your body and minimize any side effects of surgery or medication used in conventional treatments.
