How are complementary therapies helpful?
Traditional western practices have long been effective in diagnosing problems and assigning treatments but may do little to address how patients live on a daily basis. Medical fields are slowly incorporating a wider range of knowledge to include treatments outside of the traditional scope to better assist patients and to treat the “whole person” – mind, body, and spirit. Complementary therapy may play an active role in your treatment of SD, and it is intended to be used in conjunction with traditional therapies. To avoid any interactions and potential problems, it is important to have open communication among all physicians and practitioners who are working with you.
