7 Steps to Live the Vital Life

Christine Staub, M.D., a family physician with a special interest in the treatment of chronic pain, has seen the Bowen Technique "unlock the door" for patients who reached an impasse in their pain treatment. "I am thrilled to have Bowen Therapy as a resource for myself, family, friends and patients," she said.

Gerry Townsend, M.D., offers the Bowen Technique to acute and chronic patients who have not responded to traditional treatment for myofascial pain syndrome, back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis or fractures. Although skeptical at first, C.S. Whitman, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon, now regularly refers patients to her program.

Mitchell R. Mosher, DPM, claims that the Bowen Technique is one of the most powerful physical medicine techniques he has learned in 24 years as a podiatrist. He routinely uses the Bowen Technique to complement his treatment of various foot and ankle injuries.

Audrey Butko, M.D., considers the Bowen Technique to be a blessing in her practice because of its simplicity, results and patient satisfaction. It has nearly eliminated her need to use cortisone injections.

 

A study led by a former Clinical Instructor at Harvard University School of Medicine demonstrated that homeopathy significantly lessens the symptoms and improves the functioning of individuals with mild chronic head injury. In 1999, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 50 patients, with a four-month follow-up, was conducted at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. It concluded that not only was the use of homeopathic medicines effective and safe, it found homeopathic treatment resulted in a significant improvement in the "Ten Most Common Symptoms Scale" of mild traumatic brain injury and a highly significant improvement on the "Difficulty in Situations Scale."
