More hospitals offer alternative therapies for mind, body, spirit

By Lisa Gill, Special for USA TODAY - September 16, 2008
When nurses tried to insert an IV into patient Linda Aron's hand, she was so anxious over the impending operation to fix her acid reflux that they simply had to stop.
Instead of continuing to poke and prod Aron, nurses at Grinnell (Iowa) Regional Medical Center called in a massage therapist to rub her shoulders and arms to help her relax. Within 10 minutes, Aron had an IV in place.

To meet patient demand and enhance the hospital experience, more hospitals like Grinnell offer patients complementary and alternative treatments. The American Hospital Association says today that 37% of hospitals around the USA make complementary and alternative treatments available — including acupuncture, touch therapy, and music and art therapy.

A similar survey by the hospital group in 2005 found that one in four hospitals offered such services.


MUSIC THERAPY: A healing grace note for patients
BETTER LIFE: Rounding up alternative medicine news

Patients such as Aron, 56, of Grinnell (population: 9,100), say they are surprised at how some of these therapies make a difference in their hospital experience.

"It was wonderful to have someone take your mind off of what was going on," Aron says. "Having the human touch and knowing that someone is paying very personal attention to you helps. It keeps everything from being so medical."

And, to help speed her recovery and relieve pain from the surgery, Aron currently receives weekly acupuncture from the hospital in Grinnell as an outpatient. She pays the $55 fee out of her own pocket.

"This is a movement toward 'patient-centered' care," says Sita Ananth, director of knowledge services for the Samueli Institute, an Alexandria, Va.-based non-profit that studies alternative therapies. "Many hospital mission statements are to serve the mind, body and spiritual needs of their patients."

Success measured in patient satisfaction

Ananth also points to the lucrative market potential of these types of therapies for hospitals, although most hospitals have yet to see a profit. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, up to $19 billion a year is spent on alternative treatments. And the AHA's survey showed that much of that is paid out of pocket for patients — 71% of them pay cash.

While these types of therapies have a useful place in the hospital, more data are needed to understand how they work, says Andrew Schafer, chief physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. "Complementary and alternative therapies must be scrutinized in terms of their risk-to-benefit ratio and be subjected to placebo-controlled studies.

"If it turns out that the placebo effect is at work, that is not necessarily a bad thing," he adds, "but today's complementary and alternative therapies could be tomorrow's medical breakthroughs."

The majority of hospitals say that patient satisfaction is the No. 1 way they determine if an alternative treatment is beneficial, closely followed by clinical data on a treatment. Cleveland Clinic just completed a complementary and alternative therapy pilot program for patients undergoing heart surgery. Half of the patients — more than 1,700 — opted for spiritual care, counseling, art, music, touch therapy or guided imagery, and 93% of patients surveyed said the services were helpful.

Guidance from doctor groups for patients with chronic pain has helped bolster doctors' acceptance of complementary treatments, says Richard Nahin, senior adviser for scientific coordination and outreach at the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. He cites new guidelines for treating lower back pain issued jointly last year by the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society, which suggest many alternative therapies as potential treatments. "As doctors become more aware, hospitals will also follow," Nahin says.

Not all doctors are on board

Yet the picture is not so rosy at certain centers. According to the AHA, 44% of hospitals that offer such therapies say that their programs have a mediocre or poor relationship with staff physicians.

Betty Carlson, 79, of Fenton, Mich., doesn't need to be sold on the benefits. She received regular sessions with a Reiki therapist, a form of spiritual healing, and a spiritual adviser during her month-long stay at Cleveland Clinic after open heart surgery. As a retired nursing home administrator, Carlson says she was skeptical when first introduced to Reiki by a friend, but she quickly discovered how it helped relieve pain.

"It was very relaxing, and a gift toward my healing."

Past Live Regression - Learn how the past plays an important role in our lives today and our futures.

Numerology began when life was created, because "in the beginning there was 1." Esoteric numerology is the art and science of understanding the spiritual significance and orderly progression of all manifestation. Every work or name vibrates to a number and every number has its inner meaning.

Tarot Cards - The art of divining with the 78 tarot cards. We will use the Rider Waite deck and learn how to read for ourselves and others. Patti

Enneagrams - The nine (9) personality types. What they are, how to type ourselves and others. This will increase our understanding and compassion for those like and not like us. Enneagrams are a wonderful tool in helping us read others energy very accurately.

Shamanism - Shamanism is the world's oldest spiritual healing tradition and can be found in all cultures on Earth. Shamans are a type of medicine man or woman especially distinguished by the use of journeys to hidden worlds otherwise mainly known through myth, dream, and near-death experiences. We will explore the how to's and apply it to our work today. It is ancient but never needed more than today.

Mediumship - Learn to connect with friends and relatives on the other side. It's as simple as making a long distance phone call.

Psychometry - The ability or faculty to perceive the characters, surroundings, and events connected with a person by holding an object belonging to that person in ones hands.

Dream Interpretation - What are our dreams trying to tell us. Learn how to use our dreams to solve daytime issues and more. Dreams are unique. No other individual can have your background, your emotions, or your experiences. Patti

Intuitive Sensing - Intuition is something that can be taught. The magic of intuition is that it insists you live in the moment with no expectations, a continuing freshness.

How to Set Up your Own Psychic Business - Patti's business is widely sought after throughout the New England area; working with many large corporations as part of their social functions.

Tom Myers - Anatomy Trains for Yoga - September 26-28, 2008



Anatomy Trains for Yoga is Tom Myers' revolutionary re-vision of musculo-skeletal anatomy. Yoga is a body-wide experience and the traditional parts-based anatomy often serves to confuse rather than enhance its practice. The Anatomy Trains maps out how muscles fascially connect to each other, forming a series of myofascial continuities from head to toe and from birth to death. The Anatomy Trains help explain how one tight area can create a series of compensations that distort and hinder our everyday movement as well as our practice. By opening and engaging these continuities Yoga helps us experience our seamless unity.

This workshop gives a new perspective on anatomy and how it relates to Yoga. We will explore the 12 Anatomy Trains and how they either support or hinder our intentions. We will learn to SEE them in many poses and practice assisting each other to deepen our experience of the lines in asana. Come explore!
