Laurance Johnston, PhD
2006
272 pp Softcover
ISBN 1932603506 / 9781932603507
Price: $19.9 Studies indicate that 40% of Americans use some form of
alternative medicine; for individuals with long-term disabilities,
learning about their options is even more critical. Written by the
former director of the Spinal Cord Research and Education Foundation
of the PVA, this is the first book to cover alternative therapies for
spinal cord injury. From acupuncture to laser-based therapies, herbal
medicine, homeopathy, craniosacral therapy, magnetic healing, and
more, the book empowers readers by:
* Providing clear, reliable information on alternative
choices to traditional health care.
* Equipping readers to make more informed decisions
about their own health care.
* Tailoring information to meet the specific needs of
the approximately 450,000 individuals living with a spinal cord
injury.
* Providing healing modalities that minimize the risks
that are especially relevant to people with SCI, like overmedication,
hospitalization, and life-threatening infections.
*
For those who have been forced to rely on the advice of the
traditional medical specialist for their health care, this book opens
a broad array of holistic options. It is essential for anyone
suffering from a spinal cord injury, their families, friends,
caregivers, and health-care providers."
