Stress Management
Numerous studies have demonstrated the role that stress plays in contributing to illness and chronic pain problems, as well as, the importance of stress management to facilitate healing. Strategies such as guided imagery and visualization have been shown to positively influence the immune system and thus have a role in the treatment of chronic illness. Research has also documented the importance of addressing adjustment issues associated with illness and injury as well as psycho physiological depression and anxiety. Managing stress at Physicians for Alternative Medicine is a unified effort from our medical, nutritional and psychophysiological professionals.
