Complimentary & Alternative Medicine (CAM)

One of the many unique dimensions of ElixirSpa is the recognition of “wellness” and “prevention” as discrete goals, as well as an inherent pre-condition for winning aesthetics. Accordingly, the modality of Alternative Medicine is a vital asset to our comprehensive strategy for anti-aging   

Complimentary / alternative medicine is utilized in virtually any medical setting. Among the typical issues addressed by this more holistic medical art are heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, chronic headache and many gastro-intestinal disorders. Patient complaints/concerns that may have visible or non-visible manifestations are often a focal point, in many instances having eluded diagnosis through traditional medical conventions. The in-depth consultation can determine, as well, if there are alternatives to drug therapy and other “mainstream” modalities that the patient may be undergoing. In effect, complimentary medicine takes a broader view of the conglomerate of underlying causes that may be simultaneously contributing to a given health matter. While programs are geared towards disease prevention wherever possible, active treatment is administered as indicated. Nutritional and herbal therapies are the preferred prescription in conjunction with other complimentary therapies. Treatments can be provided alongside the patient’s primary care physician, as appropriate, as opposed to taking over a patient’s entire health-care..
