Alternative medicine is defined as all forms of natural medicine or healing that are seldom practiced in Western medicine or conventional medicine. It is also called CAM or complementary and alternative medicine. Alternative medicines come from ancient Eastern practices such as herbalism, Reiki, tai chi, and acupuncture. The term alternative medicine was created in the 1800s as an alternative to allopathic medicine. Alternative medicines generally focus on herbal treatment, stimulating the body's ability to heal through energy alignment, and other balancing techniques. Most alternative medicines combine traditional medical practices, energy medicine, conventional medicine, and spiritual beliefs. Many doctors consider alternative medicine to be complementary medicine because it is often used to supplement modern medical treatments based on the patient, circumstances, and symptoms. When combined with conventional practices, it is called integrative medicine.

Although I treat children, please note that I do not treat infants, and only treat children from 5 years and upwards No GP referral is required for ACC. I can register an accident for you with ACC. When receiving treatment from an Osteopath you benefit from seeing a musculoskeletal specialist and the consultation will be similar to that of any registered medical practitioner. You receive a more personal and thorough treatment in a more relaxing and less stressful environment. A detailed case history will be taken, how your symptoms began, what affects them, health problems, accidents or injuries, medications, surgeries and lifestyle habits. Your initial consultation and treatment may last up to one hour - longer than in most other clinics, Neurological, orthopaedic, cardiovascular etc examinations may also be performed, where relevant. Osteopathic evaluation of your body's biomechanics (structure, posture and physical movements) would then conclude the examination, leading to a diagnosis. Diagnosis, clinical findings and an appropriate treatment plan with projected recovery would be explained and discussed. For your first consultation it is helpful if you bring with you any medical reports, X-rays or current medication. Classical Osteopathic treatment involves assessment and often treatment of the whole body, not only the site of pain. Altered global biomechanics (posture, alignment and muscle balance) may also be involved, and pain can also refer from other areas: e.g. shoulder pain can associate with neck and upper back pain, or leg and hip pain with the pelvis and lower back. Accordingly, please wear loose and comfortable clothing for your treatment. Cranial Osteopathy is a very gentle form of treatment. Lightly holding the head and allowing very slight changes to occur in the pulsation movement of the cerebro-spinal fluid that bathes and nourishes the brain and spinal cord, profound and far reaching changes can occur in the body's function and homeostasis. Acupuncture can be used to treat areas of pain, and also underlying conditions and general health: e.g. headaches, energy levels, mood, sleep, stress, etc. Points may be used away from the site of pain (e.g. points in the feet for headaches) and the selection of points can vary according to the constitution of the individual.

Training and Studies to become an Alternating Physician

It is necessary to undergo training in the chosen field in order to become an alternative medicine doctor. You must first choose the specialty to follow, such as traditional medicine (Ayurveda, acupuncture, Feng shui, Qi Gong...), plant and tradition (homeopathy, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, naturopathy...), manual therapy (Reiki, Shiatsu, reflexology, osteopathy, auriculotherapy...) or psycho-corporal therapy (sophrology, hypnotherapy, meditation, yoga...). Then, you must undergo training to master the basics and techniques. Afterwards, you need to gain professional experience through an internship in order to become an alternative medicine doctor. Alternative medicine programs are generally aimed at high school graduates and professionals in the medical or paramedical field (dentists, veterinarians, pharmacists, doctors...). It is also possible to obtain alternative medicine degrees depending on the country, such as a Master of Science in acupuncture, a doctorate in acupuncture and Oriental medicine, and a Bachelor of Phytotherapy. In the profession of alternative medicine, you must have a positive attitude, manage your time well, and be punctual. Professionalism, compassion, and communication skills are also important. The alternative medicine doctor must also be detail-oriented.

The areas of intervention of an alternating doctor.

The alternating doctor can offer his services to alleviate patients' pain, relieve anxiety or itchiness naturally. Through relaxation, he can heal patients' souls and spirits while helping them regain balance at the psychological and physical levels. He is capable of proposing sessions of hypnosis, meditation, biofeedback, and reiki, taking into account the needs of each patient. He is also able to treat eczema, allergies, allergic sinusitis, asthma, and arthritis through sessions of herbal medicine, Ayurvedic massage, and acupuncture. Furthermore, he can help his patients alleviate their bodily pain (back pain, digestive troubles, painful periods...), fight against depression and addictions, and relieve stress and headaches. Whether it's to improve sleep, manage weight or reduce symptoms of chronic illnesses, he can help. Through the use of plants and natural remedies (essential oils, lithotherapy stones, CBD...), he can heal some diseases (breast cancer, flu, diabetes...) and help his patient regain well-being and health. He is also able to give instructions on stress management, nutrition, and the use of certain natural plants. Psychiatric disorders and sexual problems can also be treated by an alternating doctor.

Why use an alternating doctor?

It is preferable to consult an alternative medicine practitioner to treat different illnesses naturally. Taking medication for a long period of time can cause side effects due to pharmaceutical products. A simple blend of medicinal herbs, coupled with some deep tissue massages and energy healing, can be more effective than medication. The alternative medicine practitioner has the necessary skills to heal their patient and change their lifestyle. They can help improve the overall quality of their life and empower them to master their body and mind. Their intervention allows the patient to feel better and have a stronger immune system.

When to consult an alternative medicine practitioner?

To cure mental and physical problems, it is recommended to consult an alternative medicine practitioner. They can suggest various healing methods such as massage, yoga, reiki, sexology, and meditation to treat their patient. Alternative medicines are not only used for the treatment of chronic diseases (such as cancer, asthma, diabetes...), but also to cure behavioural disorders, body pains, and gynaecological ailments. They aim to detoxify the body and improve the immune system.

How to find a alternating physician?

Currently, many therapists have their own websites. They work in therapeutic massage clinics, hospitals, treatment centers, or in their own practices. The StarOfService directory is a better option for finding an alternative doctor in Lyttelton. Simply choose the appropriate professional and follow the steps provided.

What are the rates of a locum doctor?

Alternative doctors charge a fee for initial sessions and a lower fee for subsequent sessions. The initial session is often longer as it requires more time for the physician to assess the patients' needs and create a complementary treatment plan. The duration of each session is between 45 minutes and 1 hour 30. Fees also depend on the experience and specialization of the physician as well as the length of each session. For example, a physical therapy session costs around €16 for 30 minutes, the price of an acupuncture session ranges between €30 and €80, and for a Reiki session, the price is between €60 and €100. It should be noted that alternative medicine expenses are not reimbursed by social security if the session is not carried out by a conventioned doctor or if the treatment is not yet recognized in the country. For example, in France, the National Council of the Order of Physicians (CNOM) authorizes four alternative medicines, including acupuncture, homeopathy, mesotherapy, and osteopathy.

How to choose a good alternating doctor?

Before choosing an alternative doctor, it is always wise to take the time to choose the type of session to follow if it suits your health problems: - It is advisable to do research and ask for advice from family members and friends. - Once the type of alternative therapy is chosen, it is necessary to contact different websites and offices to choose a good practitioner. It is important to read online recommendations and if possible, contact their patients. - It is important to know the alternative or complementary medicine training pursued by the therapist. Choose a doctor who holds a certificate of competence in the relevant discipline. Basic insurance does not cover the costs of alternative treatment if the doctor is not certified. - Take the time to ask questions about the doctor's therapeutic methods. This also allows you to know how they treat their patients and their experience in alternative medicine.
