Naturopathic medicine is the treatment and prevention of diseases by natural means. Naturopathic Doctors assess the whole person, taking into consideration physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual. Gentle, non-invasive techniques are generally used in order to stimulate the body’s inherent healing capacity. Your clinician, Erica Robinson ND, will take a thorough case history, perform a physical examination, which can include a breast exam, and take blood and urine samples. If your case requires, the physical may include more specific examinations such as gynecological, rectal, prostate or genital exams. 

It is very important that you inform your Naturopathic Doctor immediately of any disease process from which you are suffering and any medications/over the counter drugs that you are currently taking. Please advise your Naturopathic Doctor immediately if you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or if you are breast-feeding. 

As a patient you will receive information about your diagnosis and/or treatment, alternative courses of action, the material effects, costs, expected benefits, risks, side effects and in each case the consequences of not having the diagnosis and/or treatment acted upon. 

The staff is trained to handle emergencies should the need arise. 

There are some slight health risks associated with treatment by naturopathic medicine. 

These include but are not limited to: 

- Homeopathic remedies may occasionally result in the aggravation of pre-existing symptoms. When this occurs the duration is usually short.

- Some patients experience allergic reactions to certain supplements and herbs. Please advise your clinician of any allergies you may have. 

- Pain, bruising or injury from venipuncture or acupuncture or parental therapy. 

- Fainting or puncturing of an organ with acupuncture needles or accidental burning of the skin from the use of moxa. 

- Muscle strains and sprains or disc injuries from spinal manipulation. 

- There is a very small potential for stroke in neck manipulation. Patients are thoroughly screened by the clinician prior to manipulating the neck. 

- The staff and Erica Robinson ND are trained to handle emergencies should the need arise. 

I understand: 

- The clinic does not guarantee treatment results.

- That Erica Robinson ND will explain to me the exact nature of any treatment provided and will answer any questions I may have. 

- I am free to withdraw my consent and to discontinue treatment at any time.

Why do genetics matter? There is a large genetic role in risk of disease. Most times genetics do not guarantee a condition but they predispose one to certain conditions, and if we know your predispositions, we can actively work to prevent them from occurring.
