Natural Medicines and Therapies for Body Healing
 Your body is truly a wonder of nature, and
given the right conditions it has the amazing ability to heal.
Naturopathic medicine focuses on using natural medicines and therapies to
create an environment for your body to heal. The emphasis is on treating
the underlying cause, not just the symptoms, with recovery being the
objective.
The goal of a Naturopathic Doctor is to understand you, the patient,
and all the factors that will impact on your health. Your first visit
(usually one hour) includes an in-depth medical history, relevant physical
exam and discussion of your health concerns.
Follow-up visits include laboratory and special testing as required to
make an assessment and diagnosis. A personal treatment plan that suits
your individual needs is prepared and followed.
Natural therapies offered by Dr. Neilson for treatment and prevention
of chronic and acute conditions include:
