Dr. Kim Niddery ND
I feel a great sense of honour when I am asked to partake in someone’s health journey. I value the time you have taken to come and see me. Your health is the most valuable thing you own. I believe the more connected we can be to our physical body, mind, and emotions, the greater our power to heal, find balance and optimize health.
My dedication to my patients is to help uncover what might be at the root cause, addressing the mind and body as a whole system, and promoting the incredible healing potential of the body.
With an evidence-based approach, I work to create a treatment plan that is as individual as you are. Whether you are dealing with a chronic concern, or just wanting to optimize where you are at, I encourage you to surround yourself with a team of healthcare professionals that will work for you and help you achieve your goals and thus maximize your life’s experience. Empowering you to take control of your health, understand your body, and make informed decisions is what I am here to help you do.
Former owner and founder of Revelstoke Naturopathic Clinic, I have moved away from running a clinic and now am focusing on my young family, and mastering my naturopathic primary care practice.
I live in Revelstoke, BC which is situated on the traditional territories of the Secwépemc, Ktunaxa, Syilx/Okanagan, and Sinixt peoples. I also serve the communities of Nakusp, BC, Salmon Arm, BC, as well as other parts of BC via telemedicine.
Concerns that I often address:
Digestive issues ~ Post-Concussion (TBI) ~ Fatigue ~ Burnout ~ Joint pain and injuries ~ Sleep ~ Mood Disorders ~ Hormonal issues - Thyroid issues - Perimenopause through post-menopause ~ Pediatric concerns ~ Autoimmune disorders ~ Skin issues ~ Allergies ~ Topical steroid withdrawal ~ Nutritional deficiencies ~ Acute and Chronic infections ~ weight-loss/metabolic issues
Naturopathic Medicine
NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE WORKS WITH YOU TO TREAT THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF DISEASE.
Licensed naturopathic physicians are subject to rigorous formal naturopathic medical training and offer naturopathic primary medical care.
We are strictly regulated through the College of Naturopathic Physicians of BC and the Health Profession Act, and we are required by law to follow a specific scope of practice. We diagnose conditions, use laboratory assessments, and conduct physical and screening exams.
Naturopathic medicine takes a holistic approach, treating everyone as an individual and treating the whole person. We try to fully address your health concerns by taking more time, and doing more extensive testing and assessments. We look for the causes of illnesses, rather than merely ameliorating symptoms. While conventional medicine attacks disease by intervening with drugs or surgery, naturopathic medicine takes the opposite approach, tackling disease by supporting the body's natural defences. In BC, some NDs have prescriptive authority (voluntary), which means they can prescribe pharmaceutical medicine when required. Both approaches have their place; naturopathic and conventional medicine are complementary; neither alone is the complete answer to health.
NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS ARE TRAINED AS NATUROPATHIC GENERAL PRACTITIONERS IN COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE, PROVIDING A FULL RANGE OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND THERAPIES
