Complementary Alternative Medicine

Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) used hand in hand with mainstream medical treatments enhances or augments care to improve health outcomes and or quality of life.

Alternative medicines are considered treatment modalities not considered standard of care in allopathic medicine but may have known benefits historically, and are valued in many cultures of healing not recognized by Western medicine.

Many CAM practices that are highly valued or often used, though not within the mainstream, may still have evidence based medicine and patient research behind them. Herbal medications and some supplements have showed promise in helping ailments like migraine headaches, mood disorders, and arthritic pain. In addition to herbal therapies, CAM encompasses acupuncture, cupping, yoga, massage, guided meditation, homeopathy to name a few.
