Seattle Chiropractor Report: Dr. Oz on Integrated Healthcare
Posted by Dana Rindal on Wed, May 11, 2011 @ 09:00 AM
Dr. Kevin Rindal, Seattle Chiropractor looks at Dr. Oz's website on integrated healthcare.
Integrated Healthcare is the combination of Eastern and Western medical practices. Dr.Oz's website describes alternative healthcare as "The Medical Renegades Fighting for Uncoventional Answers". Integrative medicine strives to bring the best of two types of medicine that historically have not got along and fought each other. As Director of Development at InHealth that offers Seattle chiropractic, acupuncture and massage therapy, I really enjoy this outlook on alternative medicine! When I tell people what I do for a living, they typically give me one of three responses.
1. Complementary medicine has helped me so much! It is always my initial approach to my healthcare.
2. I don't "believe" in complementary medicine. I don't think it’s a valid form of healthcare.
3. What is complementary medicine? I have no clue, feel a little leery of it, but want to at least give it a try.
The truth about medicine is that you really need both traditional and complementary medicine in a healthcare setting for the best results. Complementary medicine tends to be inexpensive (when compared to traditional medicine), non-invasive, and natural forms of treatment. In addition, the research supporting complementary medicine has grown immensely in the past 20 years and you can read more here about chiropractic research. On the other hand, traditional medicine which includes, surgery and medication, save lives and allow people to live vibrant lifestyles. The most effective and efficient form of medicine is integrated, bringing the best of both worlds to the table.
