Alternative Back Pain Treatments
Alternative back pain treatments have become part of the modern medical system. Years ago, alternative therapies rarely operated in conjunction with
traditional medicine.
In fact, the medical establishment generally looked down upon anything was not an accepted part of mainstream healthcare system. However, times have really changed… Today, doctors have teamed up with alternative healing practitioners to bring a combined care approach to the
back pain treatment
arena. 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 for many modalities, so it is a positive step for traditional medicine to embrace the potential healing powers of these alternative treatments. Listed below are some of the most common alternative methods of treating back ache:Knowledge Therapy 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 different care providers on their own. The entire process of therapy is streamlined and all parties benefit, in theory.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. Just open the newspaper and you will surely read lots of stories about these types of practices being shut down daily. It is my firm belief that doctors or lawyers committing insurance fraud should receive far more 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. In professions where the earnings potential is already sky-high, only the most base and depraved sorts will commit these heinous acts. They deserve to be treated according to their character. Alternative Back Pain Treatments AdviceI am a firm believer in the possibilities for efficacy offered by many varieties of alternative medicine. Some of these therapies are thousands of years old and have been very successful at treating many forms of disease and injury. Many patients have opened their minds and hearts to the chance for achieving true relief from one of these non-traditional healthcare systems.There are usually far less side effects to these treatments, compared to surgery or pharmaceutical methods of care, so there may be nothing to lose by trying. You might just discover that the path to health is the road less traveled. Alternative Back Pain Treatments to Back Pain 11/11/06 Revised 1/30/12 |
