New Help for Chronic Disease Patients:
Westchester Chiropractor Offers Much-Needed and Often
Absent Mind – Body Counseling
Treating a chronic disease means more than treating only the ill person’s physical condition, it includes healing his mind as well. Dr. Robert Santini of Yonkers, N.Y. knows this well and has now dedicated his clinical practice of 33 years to address these issues with patients as part of a whole body treatment of their disease. His office practice includes specific counseling sessions for these treatments. A consultation for new patients is available as a courtesy.
A distorted self image, an image defined by the disease, is a common side effect that is not dealt with in traditional medical treatments.
“My experience treating people with Multiple Sclerosis and Cerebral Palsy has taught me the importance of the mind in treating these diseases. My therapies help patients re-create a self image that is positive and self confident and empowers the individual to take control over his life while battling the disease,” said Dr. Santini.
Dr. Santini has experienced first hand the power of the mind to transform and heal. As a child he suffered from polio and learned early how a chronic disease erodes the patient’s personality in subtle and dramatic ways. In his adult years his mother spent several years battling cancer and through his practice he found proven and effective ways to help her to uncover her strength to live a life of value, purpose and satisfaction.
“My philosophy of Vision, Transformation, and Empowerment has given patients and their families a new lease on life for all of them,” comments Dr. Santini.
Dr. Santini is licensed to practice chiropractic in New York State. In addition to his Chiropractic degree he received his orthopedics / neuromuscular specialty degree (DABCO ) in 1980. He has specialized in treating chronic neuromuscular / neurological disorders since that time. He is also a diplomat and fellow of the American Association of Integrative Medicine. Among the disorders that he has treated are: MS, CP, Parkinson’s Disease, Post Stroke, chronic spinal disorders, and post surgical spinal disorders.
