Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is a form of health care that emphasizes the use of prevention and natural therapeutics in order to inspire the body’s natural ability to heal. Identifying the underlying cause of disease vs. symptom management is a primary focus of naturopathic healthcare.
Assessing the cost effectiveness of naturopathic treatments
With the rising costs of medical care, preventative medicine is becoming a integral part of our current health care model. Just as people are finding long term benefits when they incorporate exercise programs through gym memberships or yoga classes, so are they finding that naturopathic medicine is an important way to prevent illness, optimize overall health, and reduce long term medical costs.
Dr Waters' programs are designed for life. She works together with patients to search for the underlying cause of imbalance, to evaluate nutritional needs, and to come up with individualized wellness plans based on her findings. Her suggestions are designed to help patients make positive life long changes, to prevent further imbalance, and to achieve optimal health.
By improving overall health through changes in lifestyle, diet and other preventative measures, patients may actually feel a lot better and reduce overall medical costs.
