Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine bridges the gap between different medical traditions, promoting healing with the most proven therapies available. Doctors of all specialties, along with other health professionals, both conventional and alternative, uncover the underlying causes of disease and understand each patient’s unique needs.
Doctors and patients then work together as a team to develop a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan that empowers the patient to make better choices regarding their health. No longer do you have to guess which treatment or doctor might be most helpful; we will help you navigate all your options and determine the most effective and efficient course of action for you.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is based on two fundamental principles: first, that within every human being are intrinsic, natural healing mechanisms responsible for our ability to maintain health and overcome illness. Second, the therapies used should promote these healing mechanisms in the least invasive and most effective manner possible. Therefore, naturopathic physicians serve both as primary care doctors and specialists in treating a wide variety of diseases with therapeutic nutrition, homeopathy, botanical medicines, physical therapy techniques (exercise, massage, ultrasound), acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle counseling. Diagnosis includes identifying the underlying causes of disease, and all treatments are customized to meet the individual’s unique needs. By activating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, treatments are usually very gentle, safe, and create lasting results.
All licensed naturopathic physicians have graduated from a four-year naturopathic medical school after completing conventional pre-med requirements at the undergraduate level. Upon completion of training, students are awarded a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree (N.D.). Graduates of accredited naturopathic medical schools must pass a national professional licensing exam to become licensed as naturopathic physicians in Connecticut.
