Being an alternative care provider is a very specific job. One area of what are deemed complementary or alternative medicines is the branch of learning called energy medicine. The basic belief behind this therapeutic subject is that physical and psychological problems can be addressed by healers who are able to channel a patient's energies . Analysts strive to reveal an individual's imbalances (structural, bioelectrical or chemical) and to draw on healing energies in the correction of these imbalances.

The phrases spiritual healing and energy therapy grew in popularity from the 1980s onwards following the creation of the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies. Healing methods known as either hands-on or hands-off as well as distant healing are 3 separate methods covered by the umbrella term "energies healthcare". Distant healing comes about when a therapist and their patient are in disconnected localities; it can otherwise be termed "absent healing".

Reiki, biofield healing, therapeutic touch and contact healing are all brands of therapies. The US National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has categorized health-care techniques that engage scientifically identifiable energies as "Veritable Energies" care. These methods include magnet therapy, light therapy and colorpuncture.

Professional nursing bodies have recognised the effects of therapeutic touch. In 2005/6, the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association approved diagnosis that involved the patient's "energy field disturbance". Canadian therapists have registered the name "Therapeutic Touch'; it is exercised by analysts in an ordered and uniform technique to manipulate the field of the patient.

Some examples of electrical energies used in healing include TENS machines that relieve chronic aches and pains, faster wound healing through electrical currents and the treatment of neurological problems through a deep brain stimulator. The American Physical Therapy Association has recognized electrotherapy as an effectual method of managing pain.

Incontinence, joint mobility and tissue repair can all improve via electrotherapy. The way in which pain messages are sent into the brain can be affected by the electrical impulses instigated by a TENS machine; these devices can be used instead of pharmaceuticals to tackle many types of pain without unwanted side-effects. Psychiatric therapists use bioenergetics in the analysis and treatment of depression, anxiety and muscular stress.

Bioenergetics represents one dynamic "body work" practice. The objectives of this methodology are the accomplishment of corporal and psychological wellbeing in the course of a therapeutic process that permits the procedure of energy flowing through the human body and brain. Neuroscientific research has borne out the value of "Body work" as a psychotherapeutic tool.

This area of medicine considers all corporal energies as fundamentals for vivacity, emotional welfare and physical fitness. It acts to improve physical condition and contentment by way of these energies. The re-establishment of a harmonious and balanced whole is achieved by non-invasive massaging of the patient's accupoints.
