Energy healing

Energy healing is a spiritual healing technique in which the practitioner manipulates the human energy field. The goal of energy healing is to “release” energy and create a balance in the body so that healing can occur on a cellular level. There are several different types of energy healing, including therapeutic touch, Reiki, chi kung, shamanic healing, and healing touch, among others.

Because there is strong evidence that energy healing can accelerate healing, reduce pain, and minimize certain symptoms, the National Institutes of Health are currently funding studies that will further determine the effectiveness of energy healing, as well as how and why it works. Anecdotal evidence and consumer demand has encouraged more than 50 hospitals to offer energy healing among their therapies.

Energy healing has been shown to have a positive effect on the symptoms of cerebral palsy, specifically spasticity. Users also say that energy healing also reduces stress and creates a feeling of overall well being in kids with developmental disabilities.

Energy healing sessions can be expensive, and in most cases insurance will not pay for these kinds of alternative treatments. However, depending upon your situation, it’s possible that someone else may be responsible for paying for your child’s energy healing. Make sure that your child gets the benefits and therapies that she needs. Contact us to find out how we can help.
