Naturopathic physicians use a distinct system of primary health care - an art, science, philosophy and medical practice of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illness.
At A Family Healing Center, both doctors will approach your health condition uniquely and individually. We believe that illness does not arise randomly in the body. Every chronic illness or disease stems from more fundamental underlying causes. When these underlying sources of illness are addressed and treated, the body is able to heal itself from within. Our medicines are not simply substituted for conventional therapy to manage symptoms.
Symptoms are the body's natural attempt to deal with the underlying problems, and often serve to guide the practioner and patient to the true cause of illness. This approach empowers patients to have a better understanding of themselves and allows them to be active participants in their journey toward health and wellness.
- Know their science yet honor the body's innate wisdom to heal
- Treat the whole person, looking beyond symptoms to the underlying cause of the illness.
- Focus on disease prevention and wellness.
- Function as teachers as well as healers.
- Strive to offer the gentlest interventions while promoting optimum health.
