How can naturopathic care help manage chronic conditions like arthritis or diabetes?

Naturopathic care looks at chronic conditions like arthritis and diabetes through a holistic lens. Instead of just focusing on symptoms, we dig deeper to uncover root causes—like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or stress—that may be driving these diseases.

For arthritis, naturopathic strategies may include:

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition (e.g., Mediterranean-style diet)
  • Botanical medicine to reduce joint inflammation
  • Physical therapies, like trigger point therapy or PRP, to support tissue regeneration
  • Lifestyle adjustments for stress and movement to maintain joint function

For diabetes or prediabetes, care may involve:

  • Blood sugar balancing diets with low-glycemic foods
  • Nutritional supplements like chromium or berberine (based on labs)
  • Mind-body practices to reduce cortisol (stress hormone), which worsens blood sugar
  • Lab testing to track insulin sensitivity and inflammation markers

This whole-body approach doesn't replace conventional care but enhances it—helping you feel better, function better, and often reduce your reliance on medications.
