Cholecystitis Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gall bladder, and is often caused by gall stones. The symptoms of cholecystitis or gall bladder disease include pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, intolerance to fat and sometimes digestive problems. The condition is usually diagnosed by conventional tests such as an X-ray or Ultrasound Scan, which can show stones in the gall bladder and inflammation in the wall of the gall bladder. Once the diagnosis is made, the approach of conventional medicine is to remove the gall bladder, once the acute attack is over. However, this does not deal with the underlying cause of the gall stones developing in the first place, and there is often a liver / digestive problem underlying the condition. Complementary and Alternative Medicine recognises this, and approaches can be undertaken to prevent the development of stones, and even to remove existing stones. How Can We Help?We offer a caring, alternative approach to your needs. We specialise in Complementary & Alternative Medicine, and there is much that can be done to help Cholecystitis and Gall Stones with this approach. Each person is dealt with individually. Each person’s needs are different. The actual treatment will vary from person to person. There are a number of therapies and treatments that can help, and different approaches benefit different people. There are a number of different factors that need to be taken into consideration, and the best way of deciding which approach will benefit any individual person is to carry out certain tests Our initial approach therefore is to carry out certain tests or investigations. What Tests Do You Need?A number of tests may be of benefit, including the following:
Usually we would recommend the Full Body Screening, as this is the most comprehensive test we carry out at the Clinic, and gives us the most information before we recommend a treatment programme. It may also be important to assess digestive function and the bacterial balance in the bowel. The Full Body Screening can give an insight into these factors, but it may also be necessary to carry out a Digestive Function Analysis. What Advice Do You Get?The actual advice given depends on the results of the tests carried out. Different treatments are required depending on these results. As we specialise in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, our treatments are based on this. Often in Cholecystitis or Gall Stones there needs to be some dietary changes and comprehensive advice is given on any necessary changes. Often nutritional supplements are required to correct any vitamin and / or mineral deficiencies. Herbal and homoeopathic medicines are often used and are most useful in helping to control the symptoms and relieve the condition. Other therapies, such as Acupuncture, Reflexology or Aromatherapy can also be helpful in IBS, as can Colonic Hydrotherapy, and these form a part of our treatment recommendation when appropriate. A comprehensive treatment programme – based on the therapies discussed above – is recommended following any tests carried out. How Successful Is Our Treatment?Our treatment programmes are usually very successful. We often succeed where others have failed. The reason for this is due to the tests carried out – which enables us to tailor the treatments according to the specific needs of the individual – and also due to the experience we have gained over the years together with the efficacy of our unique, specialised products – herbal, homoeopathic and nutritional. Most – if not all – of our patients have benefited from out treatment programmes. Individual treatment programmes may be complex, and may need some commitment to follow successfully. Dietary changes together with a number of supplements, herbal and / or homoeopathic medicines to take every day, together with weekly treatments may be required for a period of at least 10 – 12 weeks. How Much Does it Cost?It is impossible to estimate the cost in any individual person, as the treatment recommended will vary from person to person. The tests that may be required also vary in cost, and further information may be found together with information relating to each specific test. The costs of individual therapies and products also differ, and you should refer to current price lists, or make enquiries at the Clinic. We always offer a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION, and further information regarding cost may be discussed at this time. |
