Intergrative Medicine and Wellness
Patients in the new millenium are very well informed (thanks to the internet) about their health care choices. The baby boomer generation is now - fast approaching into the physical age of needing health care more often and utilizing multi-types of health care services. Naturally they want optimal health and wellness no matter what their situation in life is, integrative treatment modalities can make life fun and full again. As long as we stay responsible for are own wellness and seek out professional health care providers with years of experience, wellness can be achieved at any age.
Universities are now developing integrative medicine classes to help meet the demands of patients today. Conventional medicine and complementary medicine, also alternative therapeutic interventions are vast and can be overwhelming. According to a May 2006 American Hospital Association survey the # of hospitals offering massage therapy has increased by more than 1/3 over the past two years. In May of 2004 the CDC & National Center for Health Statics survey that 36% of American adults use some form of Complementary & Alternative Medicine. You may want to get on the internet and look up a therapy that you have only heard of first, to help you get started. It is best to only start one new intervention at a time. That way you can note the effects of one therapy over another.
Here are some therapeutic interventions for your consideration. Herbal supplements, Eastern Medicine and Acupunture, Biofeedback, Yoga, Physical Therapy, Nutritional Therapy, Color Therapy, Aroma Therapy, Reflexology, Art and Music Therapy. Then there is my favorite MASSAGE THERAPY !!! Massage given by a professional therapist with years of experience helps maintain physical, mental and emotional well-being, while it enhances the bodies own healing capacity. Massage ranks among the top 10 perferred therapies.
Integrative medicines can help towards making life full and fun again. Call for more information on the different services we offer at our Aesthetic & Wellness Spa.
