Naturopathic Medicine in Stoney Creek & Beyond

Naturopathic medicine is a primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body to treat the underlying cause of disease. Symptoms of disease are not treated individually, but are taken in context as warning signals of improper functioning of the body, and unfavourable lifestyle habits.

Naturopathic treatments are chosen based on the individual patient – their physiological, structural, psychological, social, spiritual, environment and lifestyle factors. Naturopathic medicine can be effective in treating a wide range of health concerns, from acute to chronic diseases, in patients of all ages from pediatric to geriatric.
