Naturopathic Medicine

Cara is proud to offer Naturopathic Medical Services.

Naturopathic Medicine has its roots in natural healing practices used by humanity for thousands of years, yet combines modern diagnostic techniques and treatments based on science and technology, to provide the most broad and holistic care. In a sense, it is the best of both worlds. Licensed naturopathic physicians attend a 4 to 5 year medical program, which includes coursework in the basic health sciences, pharmacology, lab and physical diagnosis, as well as classes in numerous natural healing methods. It also includes hundreds of hours of clinical observation and intership with supervision. Naturopaths use their knowledge of healing and optimum health to help guide you toward your ultimate goal of living a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

Nutritional Medicine
Nutrition is foundational to optimum wellness supplying all of the necessary energy, vitamins, minerals and building blocks for our thousands of biochemical processes to function. It is diffucult today to ensure adequate nutrition, which can result in illness and disease. In addition, some people may have different nutritional needs. A naturopath can help assess your nutrition status and nutritional needs, and guide you in dietary changes or provide supplementation to improve nutritional balance.
Botanical Medicine
The use of plants to stimulate a healing process has been practiced for thousands of years. In fact, many pharmaceutical drugs are derived from plants. Modern research continues to shed light on how the plant world can help achieve health and prevent disease.
Homeopathic Medicine
Based on the theory the "like cures like", homoepathic remedies subtly tap into the wisdom of the body to heal. The remedies contain a miniscule amount of the substance it is derived from, yet carries the energetic imprint of the substance. Very profound healing has been achieved through homeopathic medicine.
Physical Medicine and Hydrotherapy
Naturopaths are trained in assessing and treating many physical complaints. We use manual therapy techniques that include massage and myofascial release, as well as joint manipulation. We also can give exercises and stretches that can be done at home so you can feel better faster.
Lifestyle counseling
One benefit to seeing a naturopath is the time given to your individual needs. A naturopath can use this time to help coach and support you to make some tough lifestyle changes, which may include things like exercising regularly, changing negative thought patterns, or reducing your desire for a substance that may have a poor impact on your health.

The fee varies depending on the individual visit, based on time and medical complexity. Payment at the time of service provides 25% off billed fees. Phone or internet consultations follow the same fee schedule, but will not likely be covered by insurance.
