Complementary and Alternative Medicine


COMPLEMENTARY and ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

  • Mayo Clinic's Complementary and Integrative Medicine - Physicians and other health professionals offer patients and their referring physicians' recommendations to help integrate appropriate complementary and alternative medicine therapies and wellness programs into the patient's overall treatment plan. Recommendations are meant to complement rather than replace conventional Western medical care.

  • PainSafe.org  - Many people turn to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) such as acupuncture, massage therapy and relaxation techniques for pain relief because persistent pain can be hard to treat. This PainSAFE module was created with materials and assistance from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), at the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
  • The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine - (NCCAM) is the Federal Government's lead agency for scientific research on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
  • Emerging Solutions in Pain - ESP is a nonbranded, educational initiative dedicated to developing tools, information and resources that support improved therapeutic outcomes for chronic pain patients by minimizing the risk of opioid misuse, abuse and addiction.
