Letter of Referral
I am writing this letter on behalf of a practitioner,
Edward Feldman, D.C., who may be helpful to you and your patients.
Although originally trained as a chiropractor, Dr. Feldman has taken
additional training in Cranio Sacral Therapy and the Feldenkrais
Method. Both approaches help where conventional modes of treatment
have been unable to resolve chronic pain, headaches and other functionally
related, stress induced problems. Both methods postulate that life
is movement and once motion is restored, the body can begin to self
regulate.
Cranio Sacral Therapy is a popular version of Cranial Osteopathy.
It involves very light touch to remove restrictions to the intracranial
and intraspinal membranes as well as the bones of the face, skull
and sacrum. This enhances the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, a vital
conductor of information and nutrition for the nervous system. The Feldenkrais Method works with changing habitual patterns of
movement that cause chronic pain and limitation of movement. The
aim of Feldenkrais is greater efficiency of movement with less
effort in order to maximize movement potential. The result is more
power and strength for activities requiring pushing, pulling, reaching
or any other movement. Practitioners of Feldenkrais report greater
ease of movement as they learn to use the whole self in all they
do, whether it is vacuuming, raking leaves, doing housework or
playing an instrument or sport.
Non-force chiropractic is safe, effective, gentle and precise.
It is especially good for the elderly, children and those who do
not like to be cracked in the traditional chiropractic manner. Dr. Feldman combines all three of these techniques
depending on a person's needs. He is very down to earth and accessible,
spending
time with the patients and listening to them. He explains what
is going on, the treatment protocol and helps the patient discover
ways they can prevent problems from recurring. If other medical
care is indicated, he makes the appropriate referrals. His work
is particularly helpful for those seeking to gain more control
of their bodies, decrease reliance on doctors and practitioners
to "fix" them, improve quality of life and increase tolerance
to physical stress. I myself have benefited greatly under Dr. Feldman's care. After
dealing with years of neck and low back pain unresponsive to many
types of treatments, I sought consultation with Dr. Feldman. Initially
treatment was twice weekly for several weeks, but now I see him
every two to three weeks. I have less pain than I have had in many
years and feel more energy and a greater sense of well-being. Dr. Feldman's office is located on Route 27 in Kingston. I heartily
encourage you, your staff and your patients to take advantage of
this valuable resource in our community. As more and more patients
are turning to alternative health care practitioners for their
medical problems, it is nice to know there is a competent, caring
practitioner to refer to when necessary.
Sincerely yours,
Deborah Ginsburg, M.D.
