Alternative treatments & therapies in Belgium
Alternative treatments and therapies continue to attract interest and serious practitioners are beginning to take their place alongside conventional medicine and conventional doctors. Trained practitioners of alternative medical treatments do not pretend to replace conventional medicine and hospitals. The type of treatments we call alternative are mainly rooted in traditional Eastern medicine, which is more than 5,000 years old, and Western Hippocratic naturopathy. So it is progress indeed that therapies such as osteopathy, acupuncture, homeopathy and chiropractic are partially refunded by most mutualities. Other therapies, such as shiatsu, reiki, reflexology, but also saunas, massage and whirlpools also offer complementary treatments with a therapeutic and relaxing effect by restoring the balance between body and soul.
