In recent years there's been a vast growth in those choosing complementary medicine over conventional treatments, as some people have become disillusioned with "quick fixes" and adverse effects from prescription drugs. Recovery of the body starts from within. Being healthy is not just an absence of illness but a continual effort to sustain balance on mental, emotional and physical levels. Homeopathy stimulates the immune system to promote the body's natural healing and addresses ailments on every single aspect of the mind and physical body. The beauty of this natural medicine is it has no limit to what and whom it can treat! As one of the safest forms of medicines, homeopathy can treat people of all ages - even children and pregnant mothers.
Cost Initial consultation: $130 to $160 (60 to 90 minutes), follow-up consultation: $90 to $110 (30 to 40 minutes) - excluding medicines. Treatment period varies on a case-to-case basis.
Chiropractic treatment deals with disorders of the nerves, muscles and bones and how this relates to your overall health. Primarily, chiropractors are known for their expertise in dealing with back, neck, shoulder and hip or leg pain (sciatica), as well as other causes of pain. Chiropractic adjustments work on the basis of affecting the body's mechanics - relieving pain, restoring range of motion and improving function - by relieving pressure on the nerves as they exit the spine. One benefit to overall health includes improved digestion, amongst many others. Your chiropractor can also advise you on appropriate exercises or activity modifications, to alleviate pain.
Cost Initial consultation: $110-weekdays, $130-weekends - 30 minutes. Follow-up consultation: $80 to $120 (according to treatment delivered) - 15 minutes. Number of sessions required depends on the severity and extent of the presenting symptoms and final diagnosis, where X-ray and MRI scans may be useful.
