Alternative Back Pain Treatments
Alternative back pain treatments have become part of the main stream medical system. Years ago, alternative therapies rarely operated in conjunction with
traditional medicine.
Today, doctors have teamed up with alternative healing practitioners to bring a combined care approach to modern
back pain treatment.
Alternative Back Pain Treatment TypesThere are so many varieties of non-traditional back pain relief systems. Practitioners of these arts are enjoying more and more acceptance by both the medical community, as well as the general public. Good treatment results can not be denied, so it is a positive step for traditional medicine to embrace the healing power of these alternative treatments.* Acupuncture * Reiki * Chiropractic * Bowen Therapy * Alexander Therapy * Massage Therapy * Magnet Therapy Alternative Back Pain Treatment Pros and ConsMany combined care practices are a blessing for the patient. A medical coordinator runs the practice and patients have access to many different types of treatment options all in the same facility. This gives patients the ability to try out several forms of treatment without having to travel or locate the provider on their own. The entire process of care is streamlined and all parties benefit.Back pain injury mills are the flip side to a combined care practice. At these facilities, a medical coordinator is using the various treatment options as tools of greed, fraud and pain perpetuation. Injury mills take advantage of the patient, keeping them in unnecessary treatment for extended periods of time. The patient is made to feel that they are permanently wounded and will never be the same after the injury. This nocebo effect is very powerful and sets the stage for years worth of pain and suffering. The reason for this protocol is simple…$$$. This type of practice is very profitable, even though many are committing insurance fraud and malpractice. Injury mills often work very closely with personal injury attorneys. Between the crooked doctors and the greedy lawyers, they cost our insurance system BILLIONS every year. It is my firm belief that doctors or lawyers committing insurance fraud should receive severe penalties. White collar crime is often dismissed as less serious than violent crime. However, the cost to individual patients, and society as a whole, is huge. ASTRONOMICAL. Penalties should include substantial financial fines, mandatory extended prison sentences and the revocation of all rights to practice ANY FORM of medicine or law ever again. Alternative Back Pain Treatments AdviceI am a firm believer in alternative medicine. Some of these therapies are thousands of years old and have been very successful at treating many forms of disease and injury. Open your mind and your heart to the possibility of achieving relief from one of these non-traditional healthcare systems. There are rarely any side effects to these treatments, so there is truly nothing to lose. You might just discover that the path to health is the road less traveled.
