Alternative Approaches

Our team are well-versed in other potential therapies for medical problems. These may include chiropractic therapy, virtual reality or medicinal cannabis for pain, herbal remedies, acupuncture and steroid injections for arthritis or nutritional therapy, tailored exercise and tai chi to prevent falls.

Often weekly, there are new emerging treatments entering the market, which may be featured on the news or you may have heard about them from friends. New and emerging treatments often are very exciting and are accompanied by bold claims of success. Where these therapies have undergone scientific testing through research, we can be confident that the claims are valid. What becomes harder is when these therapies have not undergone research, or it is in progress.
