What is Naturopathic Medicine and how can it help me?

Naturopathic Medicine, practiced by a qualified Naturopathic Doctor, focuses on holistic, patient-centered care. It emphasizes prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of natural therapies that support and stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. Your Naturopathic Doctor (or Naturopathe) will work with you to understand your unique health picture and develop a personalized plan to address your concerns, improve your vitality, and help you achieve your wellness goals.

What types of conditions do Naturopathic Doctors at Christine Slonetsky address?

Dr. Slonetsky’s practice addresses a wide range of health concerns, including digestive health, hormonal imbalances like PMS and PCOS, autoimmune conditions, skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis, allergies, fatigue, and musculoskeletal problems. Treatments often involve lifestyle counseling, nutritional support, botanical medicine, and targeted testing to identify and treat the root causes of health issues.

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.

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

Naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in a private clinic are generally not covered by provincial health plans like OHIP. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket for services, but many private or extended health insurance plans offer coverage for licensed Naturopathic Doctors. Patients are advised to check their individual insurance policies for specific coverage details.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

Your initial appointment usually lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Slonetsky will discuss your health concerns, medical history, lifestyle, and environmental factors. A physical examination may be performed, and together you will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include dietary advice, supplements, herbal medicines, and further testing if needed.

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

Both are healthcare providers, but their approaches differ. MDs focus on diagnosing and treating diseases primarily through pharmaceuticals and surgery. Naturopathic Doctors emphasize prevention and natural therapies to support the body’s self-healing abilities, often addressing root causes. They may collaborate to provide comprehensive care, with regulation and scope of practice varying by province.

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

In Ontario, patients can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans require a physician’s referral for reimbursement. It’s advisable to check your insurance policy before booking your appointment.
