Holistic Therapy

in Ooltewah, TN

If you are looking to just treat a condition or symptoms, conventional medicine can provide medication and procedures to treat whatever your ailment is. However, just because something is treated, does not mean it can’t come back. Holistic practitioners like those at Reach Health and Wellness Chiropractic in Collegedale dig deeper to find the root cause of the disease or its symptoms to treat them and the cause as well. 

Holistic therapy can be used in conjunction with conventional medicine but holistic therapy takes it a step further with personalized treatment, better patient outcomes, and empowerment. If you are looking for doctors that take the extra time for your health, contact Reach Health and Wellness Chiropractic today to set up your first appointment

What Is Holistic Therapy?

Holistic therapy is meant both as medicine to treat you reactively and proactively. What this means is that we will not only help treat your existing conditions, we can also help you develop healthier lifestyle practices that can help proactively prevent future conditions and diseases.

Holistic therapy looks for the root causes of certain medical conditions to treat them correctly rather than just throwing a blanket over your pain. Holistic therapy looks over a full range of health including the mind, body, and spirit to focus on the whole person instead of just the disorder.

Conventional Medicine vs. Holistic Therapy

Conventional Medicine

Conventional medicine typically looks at the current issue and reacts by treating the current symptoms. This may help temporarily but these symptoms may come back because the root cause was not addressed. For example, someone in conventional medicine may recommend pain medication for someone with back pain.

At Reach Health and Wellness Chiropractic in Collegedale, our holistic therapy doctors take a holistic approach to healthcare. Rather than simply providing treatments for pain relief, our doctors focus on addressing the underlying causes of the pain. This can involve looking into changes in lifestyle, such as nutrition and exercise, as well as providing spinal adjustments. By combining these treatments, we can not only reduce or eliminate the pain but could help prevent it from returning.

The Role of a Chiropractor in Holistic Therapy

Chiropractors much like holistic therapy itself focus on helping patients achieve optimal health rather than treating just the disorder. Some chiropractors focus on just spinal manipulation but some chiropractors like those at Reach Health and Wellness Chiropractic in Collegedale take a more holistic approach. Our doctors take extra time with patients to discuss other components of their health like nutritional counseling, lifestyle interventions, and adjustments to name a few.

Holistic Practices

You may be asking yourself what a holistic approach is or what a holistic practice is. Put simply, holistic practices are healing practices that fall outside pharmaceutical and surgical treatments. Examples of holistic practices include:

And much more

Holistic practices don’t just focus on treating the presenting symptoms, it also focuses on lifestyle and preventative care, not only treating the condition but the whole person as well. Taking a holistic approach requires more time with the patient and developing excellent rapport to create a personalized treatment plan.

Every doctor is trained to help treat medical conditions and their symptoms. However, some practitioners go the extra mile to focus on all aspects of a person’s activity to help them live a more healthy lifestyle. Holistic therapy practitioners provide a full range of care to improve your health and help you find the root cause of your ailments.

At Reach Health and Wellness Chiropractic in Collegedale, we want you to live your most optimal life and provide more than just treatment, we provide long-lasting results. Schedule your first appointment today to kick off your journey toward recovery and a healthier lifestyle.
