One day we will walk into an orthopedic doctor’s office and be offered a hydrotherapy session, exfoliation treatment and a massage for the treatment of our orthopedic conditions. I have discovered that these holistic methods along with the doctor’s diagnosis’s and treatment can greatly reduce knee pain discomforted. A medical doctor searches for a disease, diagnosis the disorder and treats it with pharmaceuticals or surgery. A holistic practitioner deals with the interconnections of the body, mind and spirit, while engaging in the healing process without the use of surgery or drugs. Holistic practitioners and medical doctors stride to accomplish the same end result, however unless the two parties reach out and communicate with each other, in my opinion patients are short changed.
