Abstract
Background: There are various models of health care, such as the epidemiological, psychosocial, sociological, economic, systemic of Neuman,
cognitive medicine or ecological, ayurvedic, supraparadigmatic among others. All of them are seeking to combine one or more elements to integrate a
model of health care. The article presents a systemic approach to health care with complementary medicines such as rehabilitative acupuncture,
homeopathy and chiropractic through the application of a method of holistic care and integrated approach.
Materials and Methods: There was a participatory action research in January 2012 to January 2013, with a comprehensive approach in 64 patients
using the clinical method. We included the environmental aspects, biological, emotional, and behavioral to identify, recognize and integrate the form
of manifestation of the disease. Later, it was ordered in a coherent way the etiologic factors, precipitating factors and identified the vulnerability of the
patients as well as the structural alterations, classifying them in immediate, mediate and late. Referred to the three disciplines: rehabilitative
acupuncture, homeopathy and chiropractic to be seen doing references and against-references between them, evaluating the current state of health and
each meeting by noting the clinical and behavioral changes submitted and thus the area of attention to which would be forwarded to continue their
treatment.
Results: 64 patients rotated by the 3 areas taking an average of 30 meetings with rehabilitative acupuncture, 12 with homeopathy and 10 with
chiropractic. The changes were submitted clinical attitudinal, behavioral, clinical and organic.
Conclusions: The model of care was multifaceted and interdisciplinary with a therapeutic approach of individualization and a holistic view to carry
out a comprehensive diagnosis and provide quality health care to the population.
