Glossary of Professional Services

Acupuncture
Thin, solid, sterile stainless-steel needles are inserted into specific points to stimulate the body's natural energy (Qi or Chi). In 1997, the National Institutes of Health officially recognized acupuncture as an effective treatment for pain and nausea.

Alexander Technique
In this form of movement education, practitioners use gentle hands-on guidance, and leads the client through a series of lessons designed to improve postural habits, increase freedom of movement, and reduce physical tension.

Chiropractic
Correction of misalignment of the vertebrae using spinal manipulation and adjustments. Licensed in all 50 states, chiropractic doctors make up the largest single group of alternative medicine practitioners in the United States.

Craniosacral Therapy
This therapy uses a combination of gentle pressure and holding on the client's skull to release tension and to restore balance. It is used to treat chronic pain, migraine headaches, TMJ, and a range of other conditions.

Homeopathy
Based on the hypothesis of "like cures like" and a deep emphasis on the principles of holistic medicine (treat the whole person). Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body's own healing power by introducing tiny doses of natural substances that should stimulate a person's immune system and defense system to correct itself naturally.

Medical-Holistic
Differing from traditional allopathic (Western) medicine, holistic medicine looks at the whole person, including analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, social, spiritual and lifestyle values. It encompasses all stated modalities of diagnosis and treatment including drugs and surgery, if no safe alternative exists. It also focuses on education and self-responsibility to achieve balance and well being.

Naturopathic Medicine
Adhering to the principles of holistic medicine, naturopathic doctors can use various natural methods to treat patients, including nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, homeopathy and lifestyle counseling. In many states, naturopathic doctors (ND) are legally defined as physicians licensed to diagnose and treat in a general family practice. Some NDs are also licensed midwives or licensed acupuncturists. Note: It is recommended that you ask the Practitioner their background and credentials.

Physical Therapy
Physical therapists use a variety of techniques to help patients gain or regain better control of their physical bodies following injury or illness.

Reiki
A scientifc method which Practitioners use light hand placements to activate and balance the life-force energy (also known as chi ["chee"] or prana]. Reiki can be used to treat emotional and mental distress as well as chronic and acute physical pain.

Therapeutic Touch [TT]
A specific method of healing touch developed by Dolores Krieger, and practiced by registered nurses and others to relieve pain and stress. A TT practitioner attunes to the client's energy field, finds weak or congested areas, and re-balances or refreshes them using touch techniques. Treatment may release tension, promote relaxation, decrease pain, and help facilitate the body's natural healing process.
It is taught in many nursing colleges throughout the United States. Used for relaxation and reducing anxiety, Therapeutic Touch is based on the assumption that a human energy field extends slightly beyond the skin.
