What integrative health services does SSM Health offer?
SSM Health integrative health providers offer wellness consultations, acupuncture and other preventative services. They enjoy collaborating with patients and their physicians to reach patients' health goals and offer a wide array of services, including:
Acupuncture is used to alleviate pain and treat physical, mental or emotional conditions done by inserting fine, sterile needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities and in promoting physical and emotional well-being. Acupuncture may be used to ease the symptoms of anxiety, depression, migraine headaches, pain, and insomnia.
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to produce a therapeutic outcome in a patient. Essential oils can be applied topically or inhaled for a variety of conditions. Aromatherapy is used for pain, anxiety, insomnia, mental wellness, inducing relaxation and more.
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses suction to increase blood flow, ease muscle tension, and support healing. Many people find it relaxing and helpful for pain relief and overall wellness.
Gua Sha is a traditional healing technique that uses gentle scraping of the skin to promote circulation and reduce muscle tension. It’s a natural way to relieve tightness, support healing, and to help you feel your best.
Our heart sends more messages to our brain than our brain sends to our body. By learning to put the heart and the brain in sync, it produces calmness that will help in all aspects of life.
Herbal consults offer personalized guidance on the safe and effective use of herbs and supplements to support your health and wellness goals. Our experts work with you to find natural solutions that fit your lifestyle.
During the first visit, we will discuss your personal history and your goals. We will also take time to review and provide feedback on any supplements you consume. At the second visit, we will have information prepared for your regarding your concerns. Follow-up visits may be necessary.
Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of skin, muscles and underlying soft tissue to reduce muscle tension and loosen sore joints thereby minimizing physical pain. Massage therapy may be used to treat stress, anxiety and depression, chronic pain, muscle tension, and high blood pressure.
Why would I see a chiropractor?
Chiropractic care is the most chosen alternative healthcare method for those experiencing acute and chronic conditions.
Our focus is to trigger your body’s own healing ability by locating, analyzing and gently correcting misalignments in the spine. In doing so, we balance and stimulate the body’s nervous system.
