Article Synopsis
- Integrative medicine (IM) focuses on a holistic approach to healthcare, valuing the connection between practitioner and patient while utilizing both conventional and complementary therapies to enhance healing.
- A study analyzed data from 1,304 chronic pain patients, finding that those who received IM services showed significantly better health outcomes and lower costs compared to those receiving standard care at 3, 6, and 12-month follow-ups.
- Despite the positive results, less than 3% of patients in the study used IM services, highlighting the need for increased promotion and education about IM for both patients and healthcare providers.
