About this specialty
Integrative medicine is an approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical diagnosis and treatment with evidence-informed complementary therapies. Practitioners — typically medically trained doctors with additional training in complementary approaches — address the full range of physical, psychological, social and lifestyle factors affecting health. The goal is to treat the whole person, not just the presenting condition.
