Music therapy is the use of music for a particular purpose or purposes, chosen for the needs of a particular individual or group.

Studies indicate that music therapy can:

  • Manage stress, anxiety and deprression
  • Alleviate pain
  • Reduce nausea or vomiting induced by chemotherapy or radiation
  • Promote wellness

Music therapy is provided by a trained professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. You can do music therapy on your own by listening to soothing music in a relaxed setting. If you don't already have a device with music that you can take with you to a doctor's office or treatment center, MP3 players are inexpensive. With a pair of inexpensive headphones, you can be peaceful without disturbing other people.

Find a music therapist by asking a social worker at your local treatment center or go to the website of American Music Therapy Association at www.musictherapy.org/ offsite link Click on "Find A Music Therapist"
