Health Questionnaire

GO TO QUESTIONAIRE >>

Please be advised that it is in your best interests to fill out this questionnaire fully, accurately and to the best of your ability.

If you have never been to a naturopath before, you will notice at a glance that the information we require of you is rather in-depth.  It includes questions about your medical and lifestyle history and asks questions about all your bodily systems.

Please be patient and put aside some time to answer every question.  Your Mobile Naturopath, who has been trained in clinical medicine, differential diagnosis, anatomy and physiology needs this information to make an educated and systematic investigation of your case.  Things that may seem very minor to you and may not seem related, may have everything to do with your presenting problem.

Another advantage with filling out this detailed questionnaire now is that a large amount of the groundwork will have already been done before the Mobile Naturopath has arrived.  You have had time to think about and comment on your body and lifestyle and they will have had time to study and begin to follow an investigative line of response.  This will leave more time for you both to move on to trying to get to the root of your health problem.

Another advantage with filling in the questionnaire beforehand is that you have time to reflect on your responses.  There is nothing worse than being unprepared for questions of this nature and kicking yourself later because you realized you have omitted something.

Consultation Time.

In regards to the usual experience with ones GP, a Mobile Naturopath practitioner will spend a lot more time with you, trying to understand your condition.

Typically a first consultation can take from 30 to 45 mins; probably quicker if you have filled out the questionnaire fully.  Follow up consultations will usually take a maximum of 30 mins.

As mentioned above, the body is a very complex system, with many systems interacting, so dont be surprised if the practitioner seems to get off the track with some of the questions he or she is asking.  Rest assured, they are seeking the root cause of your problem.

Naturopathy is a very broad term that includes what has been mentioned above in the way of diagnostic tools and treatments.  This is by no means exhaustive of naturopathy in general, but rather to describe the philosophy, tools and treatments that Mobile Naturopath practitioners use.  There is boundless room under the umbrella of naturopathy for a practitioner to major in all sorts of well-known and not-so-well known tools and treatments.
