Is energy healing, or vitamin or herbals, able to treat a back injury from an accident, as diagnosed on MRI?

November 29th, 2009 | by admin |

I have several herniated and bulging discs that occurred during a horse riding accident. I have been reading about a lot of different energy healing approaches, and I know that it can especially treat pain associated with emotional wounds and Quantum Touch will even straighten a spine. But has energy healing been shown to help your body heal broken disc walls, in your back, etc?

In time, the discs will heal, regardless of if you do fringe medical things like herbs, etc.

At the 1-year point, surgery and "conservative management" have similar outcomes.

    I’m sorry to hear about your back pain, I know how difficult those sorts of injuries can be. Healing energy practices however, are all just placebos. That being said, if the only problem with your back is the pain then anything that makes the pain go away is welcomed in some ways. Just remember that since healing energy is a placebo it’s not going to help cure the underlying cause of the pain, it will just mask the pain itself. I suggest that, if you use it, you find someone who will do it for free and you use it in addition to any traditional medicine that you might be using. Good luck to you.

    If you want to sell woo, get the word ‘quantum’ in there somewhere. No, it’s all a load of woo and won’t help your back. However some physiotherapists do use things like infrared and radio waves to warn deep tissue, those are real "energy waves" that actually do some good. Stick with the medically trained people, your doctors and physiotherapists.

    I tried horse riding once. That was enough.

    If you had an MRI, that means a doctor told you that you should. It was wise to listen. I can guarantee that when the results came back, the doctor gave you some options after that. Most of them centered on physical therapy, spinal decompression, etc, but the one he/she most strongly suggested was that you talk to an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spines. You listened to his/her advice to get the scan, maybe you should now.

    Those "practices "might" help if you believe they will. I would recommend getting a second opinionn. I know a double boarded ortho neuro surgeon who states that 90%+ MRIs are read wrong as to the cause of back pain. The discs may be causing the problem, and it may be scar tissue resulting from the protrusions. The procedure is a low invasive lazer spine treatment. The doctor makes an incision of about 1/2 inch at the sacral counu at the base of the spine and snakes a camera and lazer up the canal. You are notcompletelyy under for this and the doctor will ask you questions about your pain levels. Most patients come out of "twilight" with a 60-80% drop in pain levels. At thatpointt, you are referred for PT to strengthen the back muscles. As a chiropractor who gets about 50-60% improvement with a littlemanipulationn and a lot of rehab, this has been a godsend to alot off my patients. The only problem, is that many ins companies still consider it investigational, and wont cover t. Hope this helps, good luck
