Integrative medicine combines conventional medicine with the complimentary benefits of alternative therapies such as acupuncture or herbal supplements. Taking an integrative approach to medicine refocuses care to the whole patient and whole body as opposed to a disease-centric view. When treating the entire patient with integrative therapies, benefits include relief in pain, reduction in disease side effects, shortened recovery time and return to daily function.
