How does Naturopathic Medicine fit into the Health Care System?

Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine are general practitioners of natural medicine, and are also primary care providers trained to work in co-operation with other health care practitioners. Frequently, naturopathic medicine is part of the complementary health care system that includes medical doctors, massage therapists, speech langauge therapists, idwives, phsyiotherapists, chiropractors, reflexologists, ostepaths and others.
