If you’re anything like me, then you also get excited with all the endless possibilities each new year brings. I’m especially ecstatic to see all the new faces that have already dropped by our Endicott office, eager to start their journey to a happier and healthier decade. If you have always been curious about how a natural approach to health care could change your life, then we need to chat. Allow me to introduce myself! I’m Dr. Amanda Fey, a naturopathic doctor, and I’ve been offering holistic services in Central, NY and Northern PA since 2005.
What is a Naturopathic doctor?
As a naturopathic physician serving Endicott, Johnson City, Binghamton, Ithaca, Syracuse and surrounding areas of New York and PA my mission is to be your health care advocate. I’m passionate about empowering my clients with their own personalized healthcare plan. I truly believe everyone is different and deserves a health coach in their corner that has the education and experience to synthesize the best that ancient healing therapies and cutting-edge medical research have to offer.
Why Should you Choose a Naturopathic Doctor?
We offer personalized holistic care. Naturopathic physicians are keenly aware of the difference between treating the whole person versus just focusing on the symptoms. A physical exam is excellent, but it just scratches the surface. We care about treating the mind, body, and soul. During our consultation, we’ll chat about your entire health history, and all your health concerns. Naturopathic doctors believe that the more we know about you, the better we can diagnose the root cause of your illness.
Did you know that your symptoms often are just your body’s way of trying to heal itself? In some cases, a chronic headache is a lot like your car’s check engine light. It’s a method for alerting you of a deeper issue. Popping an over the counter pain reliever without diagnosing the root cause of your headache first, is basically like shutting off the check engine light without taking your car to a mechanic.
The truth is healing is multi-faceted. There are several factors that can affect your health and well-being such as; diet, genetics, lifestyle, emotions, mental health, socio-economic factors, and environmental issues. Naturopathic doctors are specially trained to identify the root cause of your symptoms. Your personalized health care plan is designed to address your specific needs. I may recommend a combination of diet and lifestyle changes, along with herbal remedies and counseling.
Naturopathic physicians are the first choice for many adults suffering from chronic pain. Contrary to popular opinion, pills aren’t for everyone. For instance, at my Endicott naturopathic medicine office, I work with several clients that have had to deal with chronic pain all their lives. In some cases, the pain is associated with an underlying illness like rheumatoid arthritis. However, their underlying issue could also have been caused by something as innocuous as years of poor posture, sleeping on an old mattress, or even wearing their favorite pair of heels for too long.
Regardless of the cause, most clients book a consultation because they’re looking for a safe and effective approach to managing the pain. Naturopathic physicians are trained in several holistic alternatives to traditional highly addictive pain-relieving drugs. I’ll develop a pain management treatment plan that works for you and incorporates your body and mind. I consider your current lifestyle, diet, and entire health story. Chronic pain tends to be associated with inflammation. I’ll recommend a diet as well as nutritional supplements and herbal medicines to reduce both the pain and inflammation.
The effects of chronic pain are more than just physical; it can also cause prolonged psychological stress. Think of me as your “health counselor.” As a naturopathic physician, we’ll discuss more than just your symptoms, in order to help you regain control of your life.
