5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
One writer states:

"The phrase "we were healed" in Strongs Concordance the Hebrew word is chabbuwrah- bound (with stripes), i.e. a weal (or black-and-blue mark itself):

The root word is #2266 chabar-1) to unite, to join, to bind together, to be joined, to be coupled, to be in league, to heap up, to have fellowship with, to unite, to join oneself to, to make an alliance.

By his stripes we were healed, we were made united to God spiritually now having fellowship where sin once kept us from this. While this does not dismiss his physically healing us, it in no way is a guarantee of it. To teach this can be just as much a disservice than someone teaching God no longer heals!"

And so I think we can apply it to physical healing but really the thrust of this message is that by His sacrifice we are make whole w/ and in God.

The whole cause of sickness is the curse of sin which brought spiritual and eventually brings physical death. He took the punishment for sin which now Heals us from the cause of sickness, sin. We now have life eternal which is far more important than physical life. Every one is aging, that is brought on by an attack on our body by disease until the day we eventually return to the dust, waiting for the redemtion of our physical bodies with incoruptable bodies.

In the process of proving his ability to have the power over sin he demonstrated that he can heal the symptoms of sin, sickness. We also in the short term do rely on that power over sickness through his redemptive blood so that we can continue to do his work effectively.

It would do very little good to pray for someone who is lost to be healed from a disease without a healing of his soul. That would extend the phsical life but would still eventually lead to eternal death.

That is why associated with healing is the forgiveness of sins.
