Theta Healing: Healing Your Mind and Body at the Quantum Level
Theta Healing: Healing Your Mind And Body At The Quantum Level
What if someone told you that you could heal even the most dreaded of illnesses such as cancer? Stories of such profound healings are increasingly being heard from a host of people who have sought out a powerful new holistic healing technique called Theta Healing, and these people, they say, are the very proof it works. Some say they have experienced instant relief from ailments that have plagued them for years. Others believe the depth of their healing can only be described as a miracle.
Yet Theta Healing practitioners say that these spontaneous healings are not at all miracles, although indeed real and lasting, and research supports this. Much of the research done on spontaneous cures of Cancer indicate that in nearly all cases, patients experienced a dramatic shift in awareness prior to the appearance of the cure, as if they just ‘knew’ that they were going to be healed and felt connected to a source of healing other than themselves.
Traditional Healing From Nontraditional Methods
Since the very beginning of the human race there have been healers. Throughout the centuries every culture around the world has formulated its own form of medicine and practices to cure the ills of its people. Traditional Chinese Medicine for example, focuses not on specific physical body parts, but instead on the purpose and function of those parts. Many people hold to the belief that these time-honored and indigenous practices have no place in a modern society with its technological advancements and scientific breakthroughs. The simple fact remains though, that a large percentage of people around the world have no access to modern medicine. They rely solely on ancient healing techniques to keep themselves and their families healthy. Is it possible that our modern society has become so advanced that we have lost touch with some of the most basic and simple healing practices in favor of over-medicating our bodies into submission?

Interventional Pain Management: Approach to Chronic Pain
Interventional Pain Management: Approach to Chronic Pain
Pain treatment begins with an assessment of the severity of the pain. Commonly, the first steps of treatment are rest, application of cold or heat and intake of OTC (over the counter) medication. The next step in the treatment of pain is a combination of physical therapy and prescribed pain medication. It is important to note that sometimes, interventional pain management needs to be started prior to Physical Therapy in order to stop acute pain (i.e. acute radiculopathy) and allow the patient to comply with necessary exercise. If prescribed pain medication and physical therapy don’t work, the next step is usually interventional pain management, unless the patient has acute loss of function or acute neurological deficit (in which case surgery is needed. However, even after surgery interventional pain management has a very important role in the treatment of patients, especially when all other options are exhausted (eg. “failed back surgery” syndrome).
The Specialty of “Pain Management” has progressed significantly in the last 20 years through a better understanding of anatomy and physiology, and through advances in pharmacology and technology.
The goals of interventional pain management are to relieve, reduce, or manage pain and improve a patient’s overall quality of life through minimally invasive techniques specifically designed to diagnose and treat painful conditions. Interventional pain management also strives to help patients return to their everyday activities quickly and without heavy reliance on medications. Often other treatments are include such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and lifestyle modification (such as exercise, diet, and smoking cessation) to further enhance these procedures.

Before any treatments are started, we may perform diagnostic tests to rule out other conditions that may present similar symptoms. These tests may include x-rays, CT scan, MRI, and possibly blood tests. Early Intervention: Read the rest of this entry »
