Complimentary Therapies for Sleep Disorders
In conjunction with The Wege Institute for Mind, Body and Spirit at Saint Mary’s, our Sleep Disorders program actively integrates complementary therapies into patients’ overall treatment program. These therapies provide a new dimension of care for Sleep Disorder patients, with healing benefits for mind, spirit and body.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been shown to be very effective in treating all types of insomnia.
Manual therapy
Manual therapy for patients with sleep disorders consists of a program that identifies beneficial sleeping postures, teaches relaxation techniques, and develops strategies for pacing activities during the day to prevent tension at night.
Music therapy
Studies show that music helps patients relax and fall asleep.
Neurofeedback
Following neurofeedback training, most patients report significant improvement in re-establishing healthy sleep patterns. This holds true for sleep problems that are manifested in other conditions such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, seizure disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder.
