Complementary medicine is described as therapeutic techniques that are not part of traditional medical treatments, and are combined with other conventional medicine to create safe and effective treatment plans for patients. The combination of traditional and complementary medicine considers how illnesses affect patients physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.
Complementary treatments are not intended to replace any traditional medical treatment plan, and patients’ primary healthcare professionals should be consulted to discuss if any of these treatments are safe and appropriate for your use.
