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

Some Naturopathes pursue additional certifications to offer specialized therapies. Examples include 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 the body's natural healing processes, and advanced acupuncture techniques. Availability varies between practitioners, so patients interested in a specific therapy should inquire directly with their Naturopathe.

Approximately how many Naturopathic sessions will I need?

The number of Naturopathic sessions needed varies depending on the nature and chronicity of your health concerns, your individual health goals, your body's response to treatment, and your commitment to lifestyle and dietary changes. Tinka will discuss a proposed treatment schedule after your initial assessment and will continually reassess your progress to adjust the plan accordingly.

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

Both Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathes) and Medical Doctors (MDs) are healthcare providers, but their approaches differ. MDs primarily diagnose and treat diseases using conventional methods such as pharmaceuticals and surgery. Naturopathes focus on prevention and natural therapies to support the body's self-healing abilities, often addressing root causes of illness through clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy. They can work collaboratively with MDs to provide comprehensive care, with scope and regulation varying by province.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

The initial appointment with a Naturopathe involves an in-depth discussion of your health history and current symptoms. Expect a thorough physical examination relevant to your concerns. Tinka will aim to understand you as a whole person and will work with you to develop an initial treatment plan, which may include dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and natural therapies.

What kind of lab testing might a Naturopathe recommend?

A Naturopathe may suggest both conventional and specialized tests. Conventional tests include standard blood panels (CBC, cholesterol, blood sugar, iron), urinalysis, and thyroid function tests. Specialized tests might encompass hormone panels (saliva, urine, blood), food sensitivity testing (IgG), digestive stool analysis, organic acids testing, or heavy metal screening. The choice of tests depends on your individual health profile and concerns.

Does our clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies for Naturopathic services?

Yes, our clinic typically offers direct billing for Naturopathic services to many major private insurance providers. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card and confirm their coverage details—such as annual maximums, per-visit limits, and whether a referral is required—directly with their insurer, as plans vary. Patients are responsible for any portion not covered by insurance.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Naturopathe in QC?

In Quebec, patients can usually see a Naturopathe (Naturopathic Doctor) directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. Patients should verify their insurance requirements before scheduling their first appointment.

Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ)?

No, naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor in a private clinic are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket. It is recommended to check with private insurance providers, as many offer partial coverage for services rendered by registered or licensed Naturopathic Doctors, with the extent of coverage varying greatly between plans.
