At Nuwell Health, one of our distinctive services is naturopathic medicine. Since not everyone is familiar with this approach to health, allow us to make an introduction.
Let’s start with a simple definition:
Naturopathic medicine is a form of healthcare that supports your natural ability to heal. Naturopathic doctors integrate time-tested natural remedies with modern medical science to provide holistic care. The naturopathic approach empowers you with gentle yet effective strategies for wellness.
Though naturopathic medicine may be new to you, it is not a fad. The naturopathic profession dates back to the 1880s and has a rich history through the 20th century and into the 21st century. Given an increasing interest in patient-centered care with less invasive treatments, naturopathic medicine is on the rise nationally and globally. It is recognized by organizations like the World Health Organization for blending traditional and modern medicine.
In the United States, the scope of practice for naturopathic doctors varies by state. In several states, naturopathic doctors are licensed as primary care physicians and can provide complete medical care with a holistic approach. In the state of Pennsylvania, this is not yet the case. Naturopathic doctors are regulated but do not have the full scope of medical practice. Since Nuwell is based in Pennsylvania, our naturopathic services complement and integrate with your existing medical care.
Naturopathic medicine is a good fit for those looking to get more out of their healthcare experience. Whether you are seeking to optimize wellness, manage everyday ailments, or address complex conditions, naturopathic doctors can help. Offering expertise in holistic tools like nutrition, supplements, and herbal medicine – and how they relate to conventional care— you will receive guidance difficult to find in typical medical settings. Maybe you’ve been looking into natural options on your own, but know you need help sorting through the advice, supplements, and diets that abound in this information age. Extended appointment times allow you to get not just the knowledge but also the coaching you need to develop a customized, doable plan for lasting change.
