What is Complementary Medicine?
Complementary Medicine includes many forms of treatments and therapies that are not considered part of conventional medicine. Complementary Medicine focuses on “building blocks for health” such as prevention and addressing the underlying cause of a disease, rather than simply treating the external symptoms. It teaches people to alter their responses to the stresses of daily life through self-care, a healthy diet and various manual and energy therapies.

Who can benefit from Complementary Medicine?
Anyone can benefit from incorporating Complementary Medicine and wellness practices into their self-care regimen. Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, headaches, fatigue, cancer, and multiple medical problems often find these treatments helpful. Anyone simply interested in feeling better and improving long-term health can benefit too. Finally, Complementary Medicine therapies are extremely beneficial as part of a total stress management program.
