WM
Integrative Medicine, at the crossroads
11 November 2022
After discussing on ‘keeping healthy’, we now focus on the potential of combining conventional and complementary medicine in the frame of integrative medicine, as there also the focus is on disease control versus health promotion. The balance between the available evidence and the safety of the interventions determines the treatment choice.
A central framework for therapy choice will be the famous “2 x 2 table” where ‘evidence’ or ‘no evidence’ is crossed with ’safe’ or ’with side effect/unsafe’.
From here for several major diseases, strategies will be presented and combined with the practice experience of the participants.

Auricular Mobilization
Spinal blocks represent themselves at the auricle. This auricle representation can easily be detected and manually corrected. In auricular mobilization the neck and back themselves need not to be manipulated which is a big advantage compared to manual therapy and chiropractic and makes it a safe procedure. At this seminar you learn to apply a practical, often very effective tool which can be applied stand alone or in combination with other therapies such as TCM, herbal medicine, traditional acupuncture, homeopathy and so on.
