Holistic Methods

Holistic methods of treatment consider the whole person (body, mind, spirit, and emotions) when looking for optimal health and wellness. At Spine and Sports Rehabilitation Pain Management, some holistic approaches to pain management we can perform for patients include:

Acupuncture – Small thin needles used to stimulate nerves, tissues, and muscles to release natural painkillers and endorphins.
Chiropractic Treatment – Spinal manipulation to promote musculoskeletal alignment to help reduce pain.
Massage Therapy – Massaging of the affected area to reduce swelling, trigger point pain, and increase range of motion.

Philosophy of Holistic Treatment

One of the main philosophies of holistic healing is that a person is ultimately responsible for their well-being. Other principles of this method include:

A patient is a person, not their condition.
Everyone has innate healing powers.
The doctor and patient must take a team approach to address all aspects of the patient’s life for proper healing.
Treatment also involves fixing the cause, not just alleviating symptoms.
