Hello, I am a naturopathic doctor and I recently opened the Tecumseh Naturopathic Clinic. I just joined this website, and I am hooked already! For anyone that is interested I wanted to tell you a little bit about naturopathic medicine because there aren't too many of us in the Windsor area.
Naturopathic medicine focuses on using natural treatments to prevent and treat illness. Treatments we provide include acupuncture, Chinese medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, lifestyle counseling and prescribing supplements and vitamins. We work one on one with patients to determine the treatments that will work best for them. We attempt to use the most gentle treatment options and as a result naturopathic treatment can help people of all ages. Although naturopathic medicine is not covered by OHIP many extended health care plans do offer coverage.
A bit about myself- I have completed 8 years of school to become a naturopathic doctor (4 year honours bachelor of science and 4 years of naturopathic medicine). I practice all forms of naturopathic medicine, but I work mostly with acupuncture/Chinese medicine, nutrition and supplements. I also recently joined the Holistic Pediatric Association where I hope to be able to attend some great lectures as I hope to work with alot of children in the future. As well I will try to post information on my website about different lectures that I have attended or information that may be useful to anyone interested in naturopathic medicine. I would also like to do some informative lectures if anyone needs a guest speaker in the future please let me know.
