Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic physicians (also known as naturopathic doctors or NDs) are health professionals that focus on nutrition, prevention, and empowerment. They have significant training with the usage of different lifestyle changes and dietary patterns, lab assessments and physical exams, basic counselling and manual therapies, and more. They may also undergo further training and accreditation to offer prescription medications including bio-identical hormones, intravenous nutrition & hydration, regenerative injections including prolotherapy & platelet rich plasma (PRP), use of botox for therapeutic or aesthetic purposes, chelation therapies by mouth or IV, and more.
Many people are surprised by the massive amount of tools used by naturopathic physicians, and again by the amount of time spent with you. A naturopathic doctor will offer an initial visit that will last between 45 & 60 minutes, which may include requisitions for further testing, physical exams, recommendations relating to diet & lifestyle, supplements, prescriptions, or other means. Follow up visits are generally 30 minutes, though this can vary by need and practitioner style.
Naturopathic doctors are trained to work as part of the healthcare system, and the Delbrook Integrative goal is to allow and encourage the integration of services from all health providers to give you the best possible chance for success.
