Most people think healthcare starts with pills or procedures. But what if we’re skipping steps the body actually needs first?
In naturopathic medicine, we don’t guess—and we don’t suppress. We follow a time-tested roadmap called the Naturopathic Therapeutic Order: a 7-step healing sequence that works with the body, not against it.
Whether you're struggling with chronic fatigue, digestive issues, anxiety, or autoimmune flare-ups, this order determines how we approach your case—from the inside out.
Let’s break it down:
✅ 1. Establish the Conditions for Health
You can’t build health on a broken foundation. Step one is about restoring the pillars of wellness:
Real, nutrient-dense food
Restful sleep
Nervous system balance
Movement
Meaningful connection
Removing obstacles like toxins, allergens, or emotional stress
Before we add supplements or treatments, we make sure your body is standing on solid ground.
🌿 2. Stimulate the Vis (Your Innate Healing Force)
Your body isn’t broken—it’s intelligent.Sometimes it just needs a nudge to start healing again.We use therapies like:
Homeopathy
Hydrotherapy
Acupuncture
Breathwork and spiritual practices
This step wakes up the Vis Medicatrix Naturae—the built-in blueprint for healing every human has.
🔧 3. Support Organ Systems Using Natural Therapies
Once the vis is active, we support the systems that are weak, overwhelmed, or depleted.This includes herbs, nutrients, and food-based strategies for your:
Liver
Kidneys
Thyroid
Gut
Adrenals
We restore function without forcing it.
👐 4. Manual Therapy (Structure Governs Function)
Poor posture, scar tissue, spinal misalignments, and fascial tension can choke off circulation, drainage, and nerve flow.Here, we use hands-on methods like:
Craniosacral therapy
Chiropractic care
Massage
Stretching and movement prescriptions
When the body is aligned, healing flows.
🌸 5. Symptom Management Using Natural Therapies
Symptoms are signals—not enemies.But when they get too loud, we use gentle methods to calm them without suppressing the root cause.This might include:
Botanical formulas
Nutraceuticals
Sleep or stress remedies
Anti-inflammatory lifestyle adjustments
It’s relief with respect.
💊 6. Symptom Management Using Pharmaceuticals
Sometimes natural tools aren’t enough.In this step, we bring in medications to stabilize the body—but always intentionally and with a clear exit strategy.This might include:
Antibiotics
Steroids
Hormones
Psychiatric medications
Used wisely, they can be lifesaving. Used first, they often just mask.
🏥 7. Surgery or High-Force Interventions
When all else fails—or when time is short—surgery or invasive care may be needed.But we never rush here. We reserve high-force interventions for when they are truly the best option.And we support your recovery before and after to minimize complications and maximize long-term health.
💡 Healing Isn't Random. It's Ordered.
This 7-step sequence is how we approach every case at Taylor Made Wellness.It’s not about rejecting modern tools—it’s about using them in
the right order, at the right time, for the right reason.
If you’ve been passed from doctor to doctor without lasting relief, maybe it’s not your body that’s failing—maybe the order of care has been upside down.
We don’t chase symptoms.We restore foundations.We respect the sequence.
