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 aims to stimulate the body's innate healing ability, address the root causes of illness, and promote overall health and disease prevention. It provides individualized treatment plans using therapies like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy, empowering patients to take an active role in their health.

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

Generally, naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor in a private clinic are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Patients typically pay out-of-pocket for consultations and treatments. However, many private extended health insurance plans offer coverage for registered or licensed Naturopathic Doctors, so it's advisable to check your specific plan as coverage varies significantly.

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

Patients in Ontario can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor directly without a referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a physician's referral for reimbursement purposes. It's recommended to verify the requirements of your insurance plan before your first visit.

What kind of lab testing might a Naturopathic Doctor recommend?

Dr. Janes may recommend various lab tests to better understand your health status. These can include standard blood work to assess nutrient levels, organ function, or inflammation, as well as specialized tests like hormone panels, food sensitivity testing, gut microbiome analysis, or environmental toxin screening. The goal is to gather comprehensive information to tailor your treatment plan effectively.

What are some of the specialized therapies Naturopathic Doctors might offer if they have extra training?

Some Naturopathic Doctors pursue additional certifications to provide specialized therapies such as Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy for delivering high doses of vitamins and minerals, prolotherapy to stimulate healing in chronic joint or ligament pain, or advanced acupuncture techniques. Availability varies by practitioner, so inquire if you are interested in specific advanced therapies.
