Everyone can benefit from seeing a naturopathic
doctor (N.D.). We treat all conditions and see people of all ages.
Of course, some N.D.’s may specialize while others practice as
general practitioners. For more information on a naturopath’s
training and philosophy, please see the principles, training & practices page.
Dr. Hilary Back practices as a family medicine physician with an emphasis
on women’s health, environmental and food allergens and sensitivities,
mood disorders, and autoimmune diseases. She sees children to older
adults.
Dr. Back has found that the detoxification process is a great starting
place for most of her patients. The process of detoxifying assists
in clearing up the picture of what is happening in the patient. Once
food allergies and sensitivities are removed, it is easier to establish
what symptoms remain and need to be dealt with. However, not all of
her patients need to start with this particular process. Where you
should begin is something you will discuss with Dr. Back on an individual
basis.
Dr. Back works in conjunction with other doctors of all types (medical,
osteopathic, chiropractic, Chinese medical and of course other naturopathic
doctors.) Therefore, if you want multiple approaches, your choices
can be accommodated. YOU get to determine what is best for you.
