What is
Complimentary/Alternative Medicine?
Many
patients have become more aware of
natural cures that may be available
for them as they are recovering from
sickness or simply maintaining a
healthy lifestyle. Certain patients
may use complimentary medicine in
the form of natural herbs to
compliment the use of conventional
medicine. Other patients find that
natural medicines can be used solely
for treating ailments without the
added side effects and
contraindications that encompass
conventional medications. Utilizing
a holistic approach or integrating
natural remedies may be a symbiotic
way of maintaining health.
It is very
important that your physician is
aware of the various supplements or
herbal therapies that you are using.
The appropriate dose and indications
is essential for efficacy.
Your
physician at Lifespan has completed
traditional residency training in
conventional medicine and
independently participated in
alternative medicine therapeutics.
By being versed in both paradigms of
treatment, we are available for
consultation for existing conditions
or prevention of disease.
