Naturopathic Medicine Approach

Naturopathic Medicine Approach

There are three major classification of doctor’s who practice medicine: Medical Doctor, Osteopathic Doctor, and Naturopathic Doctor. Naturopathic doctors are different from these other physicians because of our guiding principles and therapeutic order.  Naturopathic doctors use a wide variety of modalities or therapies like nutrition & lifestyle, regenerative injections, physiotherapies, naturopathic manipulations, acupuncture, botanicals, supplements, and pharmaceuticals. What connects naturopathic doctors is our adherence to Naturopathic principles. Each Naturopathic doctor you encounter may apply these principles differently depending on what therapies they choose to offer and their interpretation of the therapeutic order.

6 Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

  • First Do No Harm
  • The Healing Power of Nature.
  • Identify and Treat the Causes
  • Doctor as Teacher
  • Treat the Whole Person
  • Prevention

At Solutions Regenerative Medicine, the 6 principles of Naturopathic medicine are applied through the lens of evidence-based medicine allowing for synergy between conventional and alternative medicine. By taking a holistic approach to medicine, identifying the root cause and obstacles to cure become apparent. A solid understanding of pathology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and mechanism of action of therapeutics allows for diagnostic accuracy and targeted treatment plans. Patient-physician partnerships are created and empower patients through personalized health education. The application of the healing power of nature acknowledges that our bodies are capable of healing in the right environment while simultaneously seeing and harnessing the intelligence within biological systems. Prevention is possible by creating a foundation for health and placing a wrench in the progression of disease processes. This approach empowers people to take charge of their health for long-lasting and sustainable results. These principles are all applied with the notion of first do no harm. Referrals are provided when necessary for safe and comprehensive care. For more information about Naturopathic medicine, check out The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP).

7 Components of the Therapeutic Order

  • Remove obstacles to health
  • Stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanisms,
  • Strengthen weakened or damaged systems
  • Correct structural integrity
  • Use natural therapies to address pathology and symptoms
  • Use pharmaceutical or synthetic substances to stop progressive pathology
  • Use high force and invasive therapies to suppress pathology

The Therapeutic Order provides a framework for the application of the 6 Naturopathic principles.  Solutions Regenerative Medicine applies these principles by meeting the patient where they are at while using critical thinking to determine the best application of the therapeutic order. Through informed consent, a range of therapeutics are offered that considers the patient’s immediate and long-term needs. Recommendations for high force interventions and synthetic symptom relief are provided for certain patient presentations where patient comfort and safety are of highest concern. Regenerative medicine acts on stages 2-4 by stimulating self healing, strengthening and restoring weakened systems, and correcting structural integrity. In conjunction to regenerative medicine therapies, foundations for optimum health are considered with each patient and are applied strategically to remove obstacles to cure based on patient readiness. Health outcomes are improved by providing the correct environment for the body to heal. Other complementary therapies are also provided that address each stage of the therapeutic order.
