Alternative Medicine

Holistic treatments to improve quality of life?

Alternative therapies may be considered after all traditional medications have been tried and are not successful in the treatment of your condition.

Our Doctors’ are committed to finding solutions for our patients particularly those suffering with chronic disease. Our team is available to assess the suitability of patients to access alternative therapies in the treatment of many chronic illnesses.

What conditions are being approved for treatment with alternative therapies?

The most common condition we may recommend alternative therapies is chronic pain (which covers many conditions including neck/back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines). Other conditions may include cancer-related pain and/or nausea, neuropathic pain, endometriosis, sleep disorders, anxiety, PTSD, depression, MS, epilepsy, MND, autism, IBS/ IBD/ Crohn’s, Parkinson’s to name some of the more commonly prescribed conditions.

What is the next step?

The first step is an initial assessment where the doctor will assess each patient to decide if the treatment is appropriate for their condition and individual circumstances. The doctor will take a medical history and a family health history. The doctor will also consider the patient’s current medications and any problems with drug dependence and substance abuse.
