Natural, Evidence-Informed Care to Help You Feel Your Best

At Muscle & Joint Clinic, our naturopathic medicine services in Mississauga support patients of all ages—from everyday health concerns to chronic conditions. Naturopathic care blends modern medical science with natural therapies to help address root causes, support healing, and improve overall well-being.

What Is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct form of primary health care that combines evidence-informed medicine with natural and lifestyle-based therapies. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) focus on supporting the body’s ability to heal by addressing nutrition, stress, sleep, hormones, digestion, and other key drivers of health.

Common tools used in naturopathic care may include:

• Clinical nutrition and supplement guidance

• Botanical (herbal) medicine

• Lifestyle counselling and stress support

• Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture (when appropriate)

• Hydrotherapy and physical medicine approaches

• Health promotion and disease prevention strategies

Naturopathic Care vs. Conventional Care

Both NDs and medical doctors provide patient care—but the approach can differ.

Naturopathic Doctors tend to:

• Look for underlying causes, not just symptoms

• Consider the whole person (physical, emotional, lifestyle, environment)

• Use natural therapies and personalized lifestyle strategies alongside medical care when appropriate

Conventional care often focuses on:

• Diagnosing and managing symptoms

• Pharmaceutical or surgical solutions when needed

Many patients benefit from integrative care, where naturopathic and conventional approaches work together.

What Can Naturopathic Medicine Help With?

Naturopathic medicine may be helpful if you are:

• Looking for disease prevention and long-term health strategies

• Experiencing symptoms with no clear answers yet

• Managing a chronic condition and want additional support

• Trying to reduce side effects from medications or treatment plans

• Seeking personalized support for energy, digestion, sleep, hormones, mood, or weight goals

Our naturopathic team commonly supports concerns such as:

• Digestive health (bloating, reflux, IBS-type symptoms)

• Fatigue, stress, and burnout

• Sleep issues

• Weight management and metabolism support

• Immune support and recurring illness

• Headaches and tension patterns

• Hormonal concerns (PMS, perimenopause, cycle regulation)

• Wellness optimization and prevention

Core Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine follows six core principles that guide care:

1. First Do No Harm – safe, effective therapies with minimal side effects

2. The Healing Power of Nature – supporting your body’s innate ability to heal

3. Treat the Cause – addressing root drivers of symptoms

4. Treat the Whole Person – considering physical, mental, lifestyle, and environment

5. Doctor as Teacher – empowering you with education and self-care tools

6. Prevention & Health Promotion – proactive care to reduce future risk
