How is naturopathic care different from traditional care?

Naturopathic care prioritizes whole patient wellness by addressing the underlying causes of health concerns, focusing on prevention, and utilizing natural therapies. While naturopathic and conventional health care shares many similarities, they have a few key differences. These include:

• Do no harm: Naturopathic providers aim to use medicinal substances and therapies that reduce your risk of harmful side effects. They also avoid symptom suppression, which can mask underlying health problems and lead to more serious complications.

• Treat the cause, not the symptom: While conventional medicine often focuses on symptom relief, naturopathic providers strive to treat the underlying cause for long-lasting relief and optimal wellness.

• Educate: Education is a core principle of naturopathic medicine. Each Bridge City Family Medical Clinic provider encourages patients to take charge of their own health, ensuring that they’re well-informed and empowered to make educated decisions about their care.

• Prevent: Naturopathic care focuses on prevention to minimize your risk of diseases and illnesses, allowing you to remain healthy with age.

• Treat the whole person: The team considers your mental, physical, and spiritual health when diagnosing and treating health concerns.
