Abstract
Complementary healthcare can help with many of the health problems of disabled people. Some of these problems, for example, sleep difficulties or recurrent infections, are also common in the non-disabled population; others, such as spasm, are more particular to disability. Listed below is a brief summary of some of the areas in which disabled people have most commonly reported benefits from complementary healthcare. Obviously, being disabled does not equate with having health problems, so you will have to decide which, if any, of these apply to you. More information on the effects of each therapy can be found in Part II.
