Therapeutic touch

What is it?
Therapeutic touch is an alternative medicine approach to treating medical conditions, especially pain, anxiety, and stress. It was developed by Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN, in the 1970s. There is no standard training or licensing requirement for practitioners of therapeutic touch, although this technique is used most commonly by nurses.
Therapeutic touch is used for painful conditions including breast biopsy, cancer, nerve pain, osteoarthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also used for stress, anxiety, dementia, colic, trauma, heart disease, burns, swelling (inflammation), fever, ulcers, autism, multiple sclerosis (MS), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), asthma, stroke recovery, measles, and many other conditions.
