Practice

Thanks to increased research during the past two decades, doctors are now better able to understand the role these 'alternative' therapies can play in helping treat and prevent disease. Many of these therapies-such as massage therapy, herbal supplements and meditation have gained recognition that these practices may hold value in meeting our health needs. The blending of the best of both worlds — conventional medicine and alternative medicine — is known as integrative medicine.
