When discussing holistic medicine and healing techniques, we're referring to treating the whole person. The general concept is that if one part of a person is unwell, that affects the rest. To maintain proper health, you require balance and adequate treatment. This balance cannot always be achieved through traditional medicine alone.

We understand this at Natural Health & Wellness in Carbondale, IL, and St. Louis, MO. Our professional staff has studied and practiced holistic methods for years. Whether you are looking for help with chronic pain or to maintain general wellness. We invite you to visit our center and meet with our holistic doctor.

What Are Some Holistic Healing Techniques?

Holistic healing is most often associated with chiropractic treatment. While this is certainly part of it, there is much more to it than manipulation techniques. Biofeedback is extensively used in the holistic approach. This practice allows the body to unlock a natural response that leads to healing. There's also the vital nutritional aspect. Working within functional medicine can help patients understand what nutrients best suit their needs. Other techniques include:

• Muscle response testing
• DNA testing to prevent illness
• acupuncture
• acupressure
• massage therapy
