The consulting service at CMC- NorthEast was established at the Department of Medicine Meeting in December of 2007. Since this time we have served multiple departments including ICU, GI, Oncology, Inpatient Hospitalist Service, Renal, Surgery, Palliative care, Family Practice as well as requests from families of patients that are in the hospital. The cases have all been very challenging with problems ranging from symptoms that have failed conventional treatment such as: chronic pain, anxiety, depression, headaches, debilitation, chronic abdominal pain, nausea, obstipation, closed head injuries, chronic vomiting and more… All are addressed with a comprehensive Integrative assessment, and therapies then applied to bring the patient into a state of higher wellness, utilizing less medication and testing, and strengthening the patient’s resolve to heal themselves.

As part of the consultation, we offer following therapeutic evidence based treatment modalities: Hypnosis and Guided Visualization, Massage and Essential Oil therapy, Energy Medicine, Counterstrain, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine or Nutritional Supplements, and Music therapy for the patients. Each Integrative Medicine plan is carefully tailored for the individual and their family, taking into account the treatment plan that has been instituted by our medical or surgical staff. We also teach family members to administer some of the treatments so that they can be part of the healing process of their loved one.

Working in collaboration with the admitting physicians, we make sure that the treatments are effective, and lead to improved outcomes for the patients. All of our therapies are adjunct (additive) to the comprehensive medical care received at CMC-NorthEast Medical Center. They in do not replace the current medical or surgical care plan that is being delivered.

We are proud to be of service to our institution, patients, and colleagues. For an Integrative Medicine consultation please call 704.403.7055
