Naturopathic medicine focuses on finding the underlying causes of disease and removing the obstacles that are preventing wellness.

Dr. Estrada’s medical practice skillfully blends traditional, scientific and modern methods to provide the most comprehensive and effective health care for her patients. She believes that optimizing a strong foundation of diet, exercise and stress management is key to exceptional health and wellness. In addition to helping patients build a strong foundation for health through naturopathic medicine, Dr. Estrada regularly utilizes advanced diagnostic laboratory testing to tailor treatments to the patient’s specific needs.

Naturopathic physicians believe a state of good health is an individual’s natural state of being and ill health is an adaptation in response to a disturbance or imbalance. It is the job of the skilled physician to identify and remove these disturbing factors so the body’s intelligent and innate process of healing can occur. Furthermore, naturopathic physicians facilitate physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing since all are interconnected. Naturopathic treatment modalities include diet and nutrition counseling, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, botanical medicine, physical medicine, supplement prescription and behavioral change.

There has been an increase in demand for effective, safe and evidence based natural health care and naturopathic physicians have become the specialists in this field. “Naturopathic physicians are trained in the art and science of natural health care at accredited medical colleges. Integrative partnerships between conventional medical doctors and licensed NDs are becoming more available…more people are recovering their health by adding naturopathic medicine to their health-care options (AANP website).”
