Physician Focus, September 2009: Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine is a new approach to care, combining conventional or evidence-based medical therapies with complementary or alternative treatments such as acupuncture, biofeedback, stress reduction, or herbal medicines. Such an approach is growing in a variety of health care settings.
How much do we know about such methods? Are they effective? What is the current thinking of medical doctors about integrative, complimentary and alternative medicine? And how and when should a patient decide on such treatments?
