Integrative Medicine Q & A

What is integrative medicine?

Integrative medicine promotes wellness through the use of holistic and science-based medical care. This type of medicine centers around you and helps promote a balance in your health care that you don’t always get by using one form of medical care or the other. Plus, integrative medicine aims to alleviate the cause of your symptoms instead of just masking them.

Your integrative medicine care plan combines approaches from:

Conventional medicine

Conventional medicine includes pharmaceutical medications, minimally invasive procedures, and surgeries when they’re necessary.

Alternative medicine

Alternative medicine uses treatments and services that are not from Western medicine, often including practices from Chinese medicine and other schools of thought.

Most integrative care plans also involve lifestyle changes that promote better overall health and well-being in addition to any treatments or procedures.

Which specific treatments does integrative medicine involve?
