worthwhile to look into alternative or natural approaches. Many common medical remedies are not “one-size-fits-all”—a customized course of treatment may be best. An RMS consultation with Dr. Antione Geffrard at his office in Southfield, MI will allow you to explore varied health care solutions that could make you feel, function, and look better.
Alternative Approaches to Health Care
Alternative medicine is any procedure, treatment, or therapy that is considered a departure from traditional Western medicine. Alternative solutions are sometimes recommended by medical professionals before graduating to invasive surgery or standard medication. These are some of the alternative approaches to health care that your RMS consultant may recommend:
- Acupuncture (tiny needles are applied to the skin to reduce pain).
- Chiropractic care (adjustments of the body for pain management) and massage therapy.
- Homeopathic medicine (small doses of certain substances are administered to encourage healing).
- Vitamin or herbal supplements, and specific dietary changes (including fasting or detox programs).
Benefits of Natural “Medicine”
Most patients manage their conditions with medications to keep symptoms under control, but they can have side effects that cause other health concerns. Natural solutions, recommended by your Southfield, MI doctor at an RMS consultation, could address underlying issues with minimal side effects. For instance, you may have a vitamin deficiency that’s causing symptoms of fatigue or muscular pain.
