Subjective Analysis: energy healing systems for analgesia

Conclusion: Reiki/Spiritual Healing techniques show some benefit
as an adjunct to traditional allopathic techniques

Narrative: Subject slipped in wet grass September 1st falling with
full body weight on left foot. A loud popping sound was heard followed
by intense pain. After initial pain subsided subject returned to house,
removed boot, and elevated foot. Subject is health care worker trained
in allopathic medicine, and is also well versed in Reiki/Spiritual/Energy
healing modalities and initiated these as well. Traditional allopathic
treatment was elevation with heat after 24 hours; naproxyn sodium 550mg
twice daily, and aspirin 81 mg every other day to decrease possibility of unwanted clotting.

Two days later subject returned to work with assistance of cane and initiated
50mg prednisone taper over five days. After three weeks medical evaluation was
done with xray. Based on narrative and oral history diagnosis was possible torn
ligament in left leg. However, subsequent Xray evaluation revealed simple fracture
of left distal fibula. Alignment was good and no intervention was required. Fracture
boot was applied with followup in five weeks.

At no point during the three weeks prior to medical intervention was narcotic analgesia
required or sought, much to the suprise of the attending physcian. Whether this was
due to subject's inherent pain thresold or energy healing intervention is open to debate.
It is worth noting that subject reports improved pain control with application of energy
healing techniques.
