COMPLEMENTARY RESOURCES:
OVERVIEW
There is no conflict between modern Western medicine and ancient healing traditions. Dr. Sassone often combines both approaches to diminish side effects and obtain long-lasting results. This is true for both acute and chronic conditions.
Acute Situations
There are situations in which we want to minimize the use of Western drugs. For example, the use of steroids to treat asthmatic attacks during pregnancy and before puberty. Many patients respond to homeopathy and acupuncture. Pre- and post-surgical stress can be reduced by all healing arts, helping the body to recover.
Chronic Situations
In her over 30 years of practice, it has been her experience that Western medicine is limited in dealing with chronic problems. On the other hand, ancient healing arts offer multiple and effective solutions.
Alternative and complementary healing are effective with problems like polycystic ovaries, pelvic pain, infertility, insomnia, menopausal symptoms, menstrual pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, and to reduce fracture risk through optimization of balance, flexibility and muscle strength.
If you have a physical disability, do not think that you are limited to techniques that do not require active movement. Even movement-based yoga can be modified to benefit you.
