Let us ride the spaceship of our imagination into a parallel world. Everything is exactly the same as this world, except that for the city of Chicago. In this alternative Chicago, medicine choices are far more varied and accessible than in many other American cities and towns. If a patient wanted to see a doctor, he or she could see a doctor. And if that same patient wanted to see a hypnotist or a acupuncturist, he or she had many to choose from. Let us zoom in and take a closer look at this alternative Chicago, medicine and their practitioners.
No Great Divide
In this alternative Chicago, medicine that has proven to help people is given all the respect of any licensed specialist. And, in order to practice, the practitioners of alternative Chicago medicine do have years of medical training and hold memberships of their Guilds or licenses in their chosen fields.
If you were in hospital and needed to see an acupuncturist or herbalist, you can get a referral rather than a blank stare. You could even check out the University of Chicago Medical Center’s website to find not only information about the kinds of alternative Chicago medicine available, but links on where to find a practitioner anywhere in the country. There are also websites like Citysearch that can lead a patient to the door of a safe, competent alternative Chicago medicine practitioner.
But even in this parallel Chicago, patients still need to contact their health insurance companies to see if they will be reimbursed for their expenses in any way. Some constants remain, no matter what alternative world you travel.
Now Wake Up
Now travel back to the “real” Chicago and see that there really isn’t much difference from the alternative Chicago medicine therapies. There are many centers that focus on complimentary and internal medicine, and seek to work with modern medical practices in order to find the best balance for you. You can find many licensed acupuncturists, herbalists, Reiki healers, masseurs, chiropractors, biofeedback specialists, Naturopathy, Ayurveda practitioners and even holistic dentists. If you can’t go online to find this information, check with your yellow pages or see if your social worker or library can help you with any online research. But many Chicago doctors recognize the need for alternative medicine for their patients and can help recommend a practitioner.
And, you can also find alternative medicine for your pet. Acupuncture has helped arthritic dogs in ways some medicines can’t.
