Chronic health issues are among the most common concerns that patients bring to naturopathic doctors. Why? Naturopathic medicine is ideal for those suffering from chronic conditions because it prioritizes getting to the root cause of illness.
Multiple factors contribute to both health and illness, including diet, lifestyle, genetics, psycho-emotional, socioeconomic, environmental issues, and more. 🌿 Trained to treat the whole person, licensed naturopathic doctors utilize the Therapeutic Order as a framework to help uncover, evaluate, and treat multiple obstacles to good health, which are also frequently root causes of illness.
The Therapeutic Order delineates the natural sequence and prioritization of care, providing the greatest benefit with the least potential for side effects. This treatment ensures the patient actively participates in health care decisions.
👉 Learn more about the Therapeutic Order and naturopathic approaches to conditions at naturemed.org and naturopathic.org.
In the United States, 26 jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands all have laws regulating naturopathic doctors. 🌿 There are continuing efforts to increase access to licensed naturopathic doctors at the state level, such as scope expansion and licensure.
Want to help reduce healthcare costs and improve healthcare outcomes? Advocate for access to naturopathic medicine by:
🩺 joining the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians in their state and federal advocacy efforts - naturopathic.org/page/Advocacy
🌄 getting involved at the Institute for Natural Medicine by learning about naturopathic medicine, volunteering, and supporting programs and research - naturemed.org
💪🏽 contacting your state association of naturopathic doctors to see how you can help (naturopathic.org/page/State-Associations).
Why do people seek out the care of a licensed naturopathic doctor (ND)?
🌱 Some patients are looking for optimal health - not just “normal” lab values or merely the absence of disease. NDs are trained to treat the whole person. This requires taking the time to listen and understand the genetic, environmental, and behavioral/lifestyle factors that can affect your health.
🌄 NDs understand there is no one-size-fits-all treatment that works for everybody. After your visit with an ND, you’ll leave the doctor’s office with a treatment plan uniquely tailored to you, your health status, your health goals, and your lifestyle.
🎯 Sometimes sleep problems, aches and pains, difficult skin rashes, and stomach discomfort are symptoms of an underlying illness. While these symptoms can be managed, it’s more important to understand and treat the root cause—which is the focus of naturopathic medicine.
💪🏽 An ND will help you learn what your body needs to get well and stay healthy. Patients have the opportunity to feel empowered and hopeful when they are actively engaged in managing their own health.
🔥 Pain that lasts six months or more is more complex than acute pain and requires a holistic, long-term approach. NDs are trained to determine which combination of therapies may work best to heal or manage your pain safely so that you can resume daily activities.
🌿 Certain chronic health conditions with symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, or gastrointestinal distress can be difficult to diagnose and treat. NDs use diagnostic tools common in conventional medicine (detailed health histories and targeted laboratory testing/imaging, etc.), but are also trained in holistic approaches for when those methods do not get to the root of the issue. These approaches can open doors to new treatment pathways and options.

Half of all Americans live with at least one chronic disease, like heart disease or diabetes. But among US adults, 70-90% of common chronic diseases are potentially preventable by modifiable lifestyle changes.
Licensed naturopathic doctors (NDs) proactively focus on prevention both to benefit individual patients and to improve public health. 🌄 Beyond reactively treating disease, naturopathic doctors emphasize and help individuals build optimal health by:
● Spending extra time with patients to identify the determinants of health and disease
● Approaching health through the lens of the whole person—body, mind, and spirit
● Educating about and promoting healthy lifestyle choices
● Assessing and addressing risk factors and implementing early interventions
● Determining genetic and hereditary susceptibility to disease
● Evaluating and addressing environmental and other external impacts on health
● Determining the impact of social relationships and community on health, and working to improve them, when relevant
The right preventive care at every stage of life helps Americans stay healthy, avoid or delay the onset of disease, and keep diseases they already have from becoming worse or debilitating.
