Complementary and Alternative Medicine
What is Complementary and Alternative Medicine?
Bioresonance therapy and testing is categorised as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This is a diverse group of therapies, practices and products, which fall outside of conventional medicine or healthcare.
A complementary therapy is used alongside conventional medicine or treatment, whilst alternative therapy is used in place of conventional medicine or treatment. Some therapies or practices could be used as either complementary or alternative; it depends on whether it is combined with conventional medicine alongside or not.
Other therapies and practices, which are considered complementary and alternative medicine:
- Aromatherapy
- Acupuncture
- Chiropractic Care
- Homeopathy
- Massage therapy
- Naturopathy
- Osteopathy
- Pilates
- Yoga
Whilst there is certainly scientific evidence in support of some CAM treatments there are others, which lack well-designed scientific studies and therefore questions around efficacy remain.
Finding Complementary and Alternative Medicine Practitioners
When using complementary and alternative medicine it is important that you look for a practitioner who is registered with a regulatory body for their field of expertise.
If you think you have a health condition, you should always seek advice from a health professional first.
