Frequently asked questions about medical treatment for children with a naturopathic pediatrician near me

Naturopathic pediatricians use a variety of treatments, including:

• Herbal medicine
• Homeopathy
• Nutritional counseling
• Lifestyle modifications
• Physical therapies

A naturopathic pediatrician also focuses on finding the root cause of a child’s illness rather than just treating the symptoms, which is the primary goal when working with our team.

Conventional treatment typically focuses on prescribing medications to alleviate symptoms. Naturopathic treatment, on the other hand, focuses on using natural and holistic methods to treat the specific causes of an illness and support the body’s ability to heal itself. Additionally, our skilled naturopathic pediatricians consider a child’s overall health and well-being rather than just treating a specific condition.

Yes! Our naturopathic treatments are considered safe for children when performed by a licensed professional at the Connecticut Center for Integrative Medicine. You can also consult with your child’s primary healthcare provider before you begin any new treatments or therapies if you would like a second opinion on your child’s treatment plan.

The period for seeing results from naturopathic treatment can vary depending on the specific child and their unique condition. It is critical that you remember that naturopathic treatments focus on addressing the root cause, which may take longer than conventional treatments but can lead to long-term improvements in both overall health and wellness.

Our team at the Connecticut Center for Integrative Medicine believes that both adults and children can benefit from a more holistic approach to their medical health needs.
