Approximately how many Naturopathic sessions will I need?

The number of Naturopathic sessions required varies greatly depending on the nature and chronicity of your health concerns, your individual health goals, your body's response to treatment, and your commitment to implementing the recommended dietary and lifestyle changes. Your Naturopathic Doctor will discuss a proposed treatment frequency and estimated timeline after your initial assessment and will continually re-evaluate your progress with you.

What is the difference between a Naturopathic Doctor (ND or Naturopathic Doctor) and a Medical Doctor (MD)?

Medical Doctors (MDs) generally use conventional medicine, including prescription drugs and surgery, to treat specific diseases and symptoms. Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathic Doctors or Naturopathes) take a holistic approach, aiming to identify and treat the underlying cause of health issues using natural therapies such as diet, herbs, homeopathy, and lifestyle changes. Naturopathic Doctors emphasize disease prevention and patient education. While their philosophies differ, Naturopathic Doctors and MDs can complement each other in a patient's overall healthcare plan.

What is Naturopathic Medicine and how can it help me?

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct system of primary healthcare that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. A licensed Naturopathic Doctor (e.g., Naturopathic Doctor or Naturopathe) aims to stimulate the body's innate healing ability, address the underlying causes of illness, and promote overall health and disease prevention. It can help you by identifying root causes of your health concerns, providing individualized treatment plans using therapies like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy, and empowering you to take an active role in your health.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Naturopathic Doctor in ON?

In Ontario, patients can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor (ND or Naturopathe) directly without a physician's referral (also known as direct access). However, it is important to note that some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients are advised to check their insurance policy details before scheduling their first appointment.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

Your initial appointment usually lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Lamanna will conduct a comprehensive discussion about your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, diet, stress, sleep, and environmental exposures. A physical examination may also be performed. The goal is to gather detailed information to identify root causes and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, supplements, or further testing as needed.

Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Naturopathic services provided by a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in a private clinic are generally not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Patients usually pay out-of-pocket. It is advisable to check with individual private or extended health insurance plans, as many do offer coverage for licensed Naturopathic Doctors. The extent of coverage varies significantly between plans.
