CAM Therapies Are No Longer Complementary or Alternative: Yoga, Acupuncture, and Mind-Body Medicine

Wednesday, March 3, 2021

12:00 PM CST/1:00 PM EST

Presented by:

Sara Hall, MS, RN-BC, APRN, CNS, Clinical Nurse Specialist, HealthPartners; and

Miles Belgrade, MD, Neurologist, Comprehensive Pain Center, Minneapolis VA Medical Center; Associate Professor, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Minnesota

Facing the consequences of an opioid crisis and the fallout from new opioid prescribing guidelines that are more safety-based, the burden on clinicians to access ‎therapies for persistent, disabling pain is growing. Thus, the spotlight on integrative therapies is more intense. The National Center for Complementary and ‎Integrative Health (division of NIH) found yoga was one of the top 10 complementary health approaches in 2015. A growing evidence base supports yoga for neck ‎and back pain and fibromyalgia. Yoga enhances self care skills and regulates common symptoms associated with pain such as anxiety, depression and insomnia. ‎Clinician awareness about the various types of yoga is generally incomplete and complicate referring patients to a well-trained instructor with knowledge about the ‎complexity of chronic pain to ensure safe practices. Therefore, we developed a yoga program to meet the needs and abilities of people with chronic pain. We will ‎describe this eight-week program and our current outcome data, highlighting the diversity among participants.‎ Like yoga, acupuncture therapy has existed for thousands of years—long before the birth of Western conventional medicine. In the last 50 years, it’s evidence ‎base has grown substantially so that it is the most broadly studied among CAM therapies with a rich basic science foundation and a growing body of clinical trials ‎demonstrating efficacy for chronic pain. In this panel we will highlight some of this evidence and describe how the VA Health Care System has integrated ‎acupuncture into its offerings for veterans with chronic pain. ‎

In this webinar, we will use case examples to demonstrate the importance of individualizing the choice of CAM therapy for specific patients and also to identify ‎what therapies would not be appropriate for certain types of patients.‎

Learning Objectives

Attendees will understand the evolving neuroscience that makes yoga an effective mind-body intervention to improve chronic pain.‎
Attendees will be able to summarize recent clinical studies and scientific foundations that have prompted mainstream acceptance of acupuncture.‎
Attendees will be able to discuss key learnings of integrating a yoga and acupuncture program into a Western Medical System. ‎
