The main focus of Naturopathy is to provide your body with what it needs to heal itself. Naturopathy is used to treat a variety of both acute and chronic conditions. When you see a Naturopath they will look at your presenting symptoms, but also test for underlying cause to your symptoms. Having these underlying causes treated and not just the symptoms will improve how quickly and how effective your treatment is. Naturopathic medicine works by using effective herbal liquids or dried herbs. This form of treatment can be used as an alternative to current medicine or alongside conventional allopathic or western Medicine. Diet and Lifestyle factors are also examined as these can hinder your body from expressing your full state of health if unbalanced. At Better Backs we hold firmly that given the right circumstances the body can heal itself.
