Gentle, non-invasive techniques are used to stimulate the body’s inherent healing capacity. A variety of treatment modalities may be used based on your health needs, and monetary/time constraints.
Individualized Dietary Counselling
Individual diets and nutritional supplements are recommended to address deficiencies, treat disease processes and promote health. The benefits include increased energy, more efficient gastrointestinal functioning, improved immunity and increase general well being.
There is no “one diet fits all.” Nutrition and the therapeutic use of micro- and macro-nutrients play an essential role in Naturopathic Medicine. Food intolerances, nutrient deficiencies or excesses are associated with many medical conditions. Dr. Murphy, ND will help you understand the intricate relationship between what you eat and your health status. Making healthy dietary modifications and using certain nutritional supplements will help address your health concerns with the most benefit and least amount of side effects.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical or Herbal Medicine is a plant-based medicine using teas, tinctures, capsules and other forms of herbal preparations to assist in the recovery from injury and disease. These compounds are also used to boost the body’s immune system and prevent disease.
Functional Medicine Testing
Some of these tests are the same ones used by conventional clinicians, but others are specialized tests that can help determine the causes of your illness. This might include genetic testing, which can show if the genes you inherited from your parents may make you more susceptible to certain types of health problems.
Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy, developed in the 1700’s, is based on the principle of “like cures like”. A remedy is selected, which in its crude form would produce in a healthy individual the same symptoms found in a sick person suffering from the specific illness. Minute amounts of natural substances (plant, animal or mineral-based) are used to stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal, as the aim is to change the body’s energy levels that lie at the root of disease. Homeopathy is a powerful tool and affects healing on both a physical and emotional level.
Physical Medicine
Physical Medicine includes a variety of hands-on techniques and energy work to ease pain or discomfort in the body. It also includes hydrotherapy, which is the use of hot and cold water applied to a body part in order to affect circulation and promote healing.
Lifestyle Counseling
To fully optimize your health all physical, nutritional, environmental, and emotional factors need to be explored as they affect your health. The exploration can utilize basic counseling techniques, biofeedback and motivational interviewing.
