What is holistic healing?

Holistic healing is an approach to medical care that focuses on your child’s health as a whole rather than specific facets such as an isolated diagnosis or injury. It also heavily relies on primary care and focuses on keeping your child healthy in mind, body, and spirit. 

Unlike a more conventional approach to medical care, holistic healing uses alternative treatments to meet a number of goals related to your child’s health and wellness. It can help:

• Reduce pain
• Increase energy
• Improve sleep
• Improve digestion
• Strengthen your child’s immune system
• Improve emotional regulation
• Reduce anxiety

The ASK Pediatric Services team works closely with you and your child and suggests holistic healing treatments where they see fit. They emphasize the importance of integrating natural options with more conventional forms of medicine. 

Which treatments can holistic healing include?

Holistic healing can include numerous approaches to treating conditions or improving overall wellness, including many that are available at ASK Pediatric Services. The team gets to know you and your child and reviews your family’s medical history before collaborating with you to develop a wellness plan. 

Your child’s holistic healing may involve:

• Plant-based or natural medicines
• Mind and body therapies like meditation and relaxation techniques
• Body-based therapies like manual manipulation

The ASK Pediatric Services team also offers personalized lifestyle suggestions to you and your child that you can integrate into your child’s routine at home. 

They might have suggestions for improving your child’s nutrition, making sure they get plenty of exercise, improving their sleep, or reducing everyday stressors for your child to the best of your ability. 

Is holistic healing the right choice for my child?

The team at ASK Pediatric Services is highly knowledgeable about holistic medicine and can fill you in on how holistic healing strategies improve your child’s overall treatment experience. Holistic healing principles and practices can benefit anyone, including children and adolescents. 

The team at ASK Pediatric Services often uses an integrative approach, meaning they combine holistic healing with conventional medicine that your child needs to stay healthy or manage an illness. Integrative medicine allows your child to enjoy the health benefits of both approaches simultaneously.
