People often ask us, “Why choose a primary care
physician who is also a naturopath?” The answer, surprisingly, isn’t as complex as one might think!
In many ways, the current-day
relationship between traditional medicine and naturopathy has never been more
compatible. For example, conventional doctors presently incorporate into their
medical paradigm the idea of using certain foods to prevent diseases such as
cancer, though even a mere thirty years ago this connection between food and
health had not yet been fully recognized by traditional medicine.
So the fact is, people whose
doctors have advised them to eat fruits and vegetables to guard against cancer
have been given medical advice that in recent years might have been considered
to be alternative medicine. Many people feel that this is only the
beginning—that conventional and natural medicines will continue to become less
and less at odds, until one day each will fully validate the other.
Certainly for our group of
doctors in Arizona, that day has already arrived! At the Rockwood Natural Medicine
Clinic, you’ll
find our naturopaths and primary
care physicians to be a
group of caring and experienced professionals who specialize in keeping an open
mind—supplementing the latest treatments in conventional medicine with emerging
naturopathic resources that are, more likely, the re-emergence of age-old and
time-tested natural traditions.
With the expertise gained from years of experience in both styles of medicine, our team at Rockwood specializes in a blending of perspectives, a merger which we believe strengthens both sides and creates a united front against disease. Don’t hesitate to call us today to learn more about the advantages of choosing a primary care physician who is also a naturopath. Feel free, also, to visit us online at or at your convenience if you’d like more information.
