Frequently Asked Questions

What is complementary medicine?
Complementary medicine is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and other health professionals, such as registered nurses and physical therapists, practice. Complementary medicine treatments are used in addition to standard ones.
Complementary care is the use of nontraditional or alternative methods along with conventional Western medicine. Complementary care is also referred to as integrative or blended medicine. Using guided imagery techniques to help lessen your discomfort and speed recovery following surgery is an example of complementary care.
Alternative care is used in place of conventional medical treatments. Using melatonin to treat insomnia instead of a prescription sleep aid is an example of alternative care.
