"Alternative Therapies"

I follow a number of blogs to keep up with what people are writing about back pain since that is what the PulStar Multiple Impulse Therapy does, relieve back pain.  

One of the bogs I follow is Lose the Back Pain.  This blog, like many of it's kind, doesn't have one method for curing back pain but many.  They sell different products and push their "alternative therapies".  I have no issues with trying something different before deciding on medicines and surgeries.

What I do take issue with is a recent post about healing being an art and not a science.  The author gives examples of going to a chiropractor and an acupuncturist and how each of those practitioners may give different remedies each time because they are artists.  The author goes on to explain that the "healer"recognizes:

"sleep deprivation is both caused by and is also a cause of anxiety; that weight gain is due to improper diet and emotional issues; that insomnia is a result of anxiety and poor food choices and lifestyle choices and jobs that lead to stress and organ-energy imbalances.  There is something in the body 'allowing' these diseases to thrive."

There's no art to any of that, it's science.  Psychology is a science in which we find out about the symptoms and causes and cures for anxiety.  And medicine isn't always the cure.  Any doctor or nutritionist will tell you all the scientific ways that a diet full of cheeseburgers is improper, a poor lifestyle choice and will cause emotional issues when you can't fit into your jeans any more.  We all know that sitting on our couch with a remote is much less healthy than walking with a friend.  It's not art, it's a science.

Back pain relief isn't about art, it's not about "holistic healing", it isn't magic.  It's about science.  There is a reason your back hurts, there is a cause.  The PulStar will scientifically find the cause and will help cure the back pain.  It's not drugs, it's not surgery, it is scientific pain relief.  And best of all, PulStar is gentle.  It doesn't hurt, there is no twisting, cracking or popping.

The one thing from the post that I agree with is that the patient must participate.  This isn't art either, it's also science.  There is no magic pill or wand or "holistic treatment" that will make it possible for you to eat fast food every day, not exercise and still be healthy.  You need to change the way you live. That's not an artist's subjective opinion, it's scientific fact.
