Veterans may benefit from naturopathic medicine. At Billings, Mont., there’s a program for veterans to help heal their chronic pain without opioids. Those with the Yellowstone Naturopathic Clinic say they’re committed to the cause, offering alternative therapy to help veterans live a more productive life.
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern, traditional and scientific methods.
Dr. Margaret Beeson is the Medical Director of the Yellowstone Naturopathic Clinic says that the best way a veteran can learn about alternative medicine programs is to be your own self-advocate and in most instances seeking those alternatives out on your own or through word of mouth from other veterans.
