More About Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine integrates the best of medical science with natural therapeutics such as botanical medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, nutrition, pharmacology, and psychology. Naturopathy is based on the theory that the human body has an innate ability to heal itself. Naturopathic medicine treats the underlying cause of a patient's condition rather than focusing solely on symptomatic treatment.

Doctors of naturopathic medicine are experts in natural medicine, trained as primary care providers, treating all aspects of family health and wellness. Naturopathic Doctors emphasize holistic and preventive patient care focusing on developing comprehensive treatment plans for their patients. Naturopathic Doctors work to educate and empower their patients about their medical condition, encouraging them to take proactive steps in developing healthy lifestyle habits. At OMBE's Back Bay office, our naturopath works closely with other medical professionals and refers for diagnosis or treatment when appropriate so that patients receive comprehensive, integrated health care.

Naturopathic medicine provides effective treatment and prevention for managing chronic illnesses such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, immune disorders, menstrual irregularities, and hormonal imbalances. Common acute illnesses such as ear infections and allergies also respond well with naturopathic medicine.

During your initial naturopathic appointment at our Copley Square office, your naturopathic physician will spend over an hour reviewing your main health concern, health history, and lifestyle factors. Your Naturopathic Doctor may also perform a physical examination or order diagnostic tests to form a complete diagnostic picture. You will have time during this session to discuss your health condition in detail, review treatment plans, and any lifestyle modifications that may be beneficial for your health condition.
