Theology
Theology can play a large part of that equation when dealing with healing and change. The world we live in was not created by God out of necessity, but out of love. God is a loving God where we as humans, if attentive to the gift of love, can witness the connection among relationships bringing about a harmonious feeling of well-being and happiness in life filled with optimism and strength to face the challenges of the day.
Alternative Medicine
Alternative practices focus on stimulating the body’s ability to heal itself via energy alignment, herbal supplementation, and other balancing techniques.
It is a term that describes medical treatments that are used instead of traditional (mainstream) therapies. Some people also refer to it as “integrative,” or “complementary” medicine. Our clinic can provide an alternative approach of proper care for our patients with a supplemental regiment that is conducive to good health. Patients seek out these alternative approaches when dissatisfied with conventional treatment. Our approach offers personal autonomy and control over health care decisions that are seen as more compatible to our patients’ values.
