Alternative Healings
A few posts ago I wrote of adding alternative healings to my practice. Well, I must tell you that it has become a significant part of my practice now.
Many people are looking for a more natural approach with less medication, and Reiki Energy Healing and Hypnotherapy has definitely fit the bill. I continue traditional medicine, of course, however I blend the two together creating a more holistic approach toward the healing process.
As it is widely understood, individuals need to take a serious approach towards their own health care. The complementary approach allows just that. Many individuals can now have a choice in the avenue of healing, and many research studies show the benefits of these alternative therapies such as hypnotherapy, visualization, meditation, etc...
The mind, body, and spirit approach has always interested me, and now that I have an independent practice, I can implement these alternative therapies for patient choice. In fact, I linked my http://www.urgentcarecenter.us/ site with http://www.secretsofhealing.us/ to allow patients to review this information and allow them to decide on their own, if the information is suitable for themselves.
I of course do not promote one modality over the other, nor do I believe in every aspect of either modality. I simply present the information to the patient, evaluate their particular belief system, and tailor the plan of care by utilizing my experience in mainstay medicine and alternative therapy that best suits each individual patient.
The only major set back to holistic medicine is the lack of reimbursement via insurance companies. However, since many employers are providing less and less coverage to their employees, or individuals simply have no health care insurance, this kind of balances the scales per se. I must honestly tell you that a large portion of my practice is cash based. When patients are faced with alternative therapies or traditional medicine, they generally choose the alternative route.
