• Dealing with the ongoing effects of sports injuries that need help healing naturally? Dr. Jiang partners with patients to achieve feeling more like their old self again, but better.

• Naturopathic care with Dr. Jiang can be a transformative turning point for those affected by needing support for detoxification or cleansing. The shared goal is achieving falling asleep easily without their mind racing, and waking up feeling truly rested, paving the way for you to enjoy spending hours gardening comfortably, without subsequent back or knee strain or fatigue and a more energetic, balanced life.

• Through personalized naturopathic care with Dr. Jiang, common concerns like concerns about my blood pressure or cholesterol levels are thoroughly investigated to achieve feeling less 'puffy' and retaining noticeably less water throughout their body. This often involves dietary adjustments, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle education, helping people to once again enjoy dancing the night away at social events and family celebrations feeling great.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first Naturopathic appointment?

It's helpful to bring any recent lab work (within the last year or two), a complete list of your medications and supplements (including brand and dose), and your extended health insurance information. Some people also find it useful to fill out any intake forms provided by the clinic beforehand to save time during the appointment.

Approximately how many Naturopathic sessions will I need?

This is very individual. Some acute issues might resolve relatively quickly, while chronic or complex conditions may require a longer period of care and support to achieve lasting results. Your Naturopathic Doctor will give you a better idea after your first comprehensive visit and will regularly discuss your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

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

Some Naturopathic Doctors pursue additional certifications for specialized therapies such as Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy to deliver high doses of vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, prolotherapy for chronic joint and ligament pain by stimulating natural healing, or advanced acupuncture techniques. Availability varies, so patients interested in these options should inquire directly with the clinic.

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

Both Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathic Doctors) and Medical Doctors (MDs) are healthcare providers, but their approach and primary scope can differ. MDs typically focus on diagnosing and treating diseases using conventional methods like pharmaceuticals and surgery. Naturopathic Doctors focus on prevention and use natural therapies to support the body's self-healing abilities, often looking for the root cause of illness. Naturopathic Doctors may use treatments like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy. In many cases, Naturopathic Doctors and MDs can work collaboratively to provide comprehensive patient care. The regulation and scope of practice for Naturopathic Doctors vary by province.

How long do Naturopathic appointments typically last?

Initial Naturopathic consultations are generally longer to allow for a thorough health intake and assessment, typically lasting between 60 to 90 minutes. Follow-up appointments are usually shorter, often ranging from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of your case and the therapies being discussed or administered.

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

Patients in Ontario can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor (ND or Naturopathe) directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, while a referral is not legally required to *see* an ND, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement. It is advisable to check your insurance policy before your appointment.

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 such as OHIP. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket, but many private insurance plans offer varying levels of coverage for licensed Naturopathic Doctors. It is recommended to verify your insurance coverage prior to booking.

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 underlying causes of illness, and promote overall health and disease prevention. It can help by identifying root causes, providing individualized treatment plans using therapies like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy, and empowering patients to take an active role in their health.
