I read an article in a magazine last night on Integrative Medicine. It was discussing how there is this new kind of doctor out there called an integrative medicine doctor. So I wondered what is so special about this new kind of doctor. As I read on I found that what the author claimed made this doctor so special is that rather than just prescribing a drug they are probably going to talk to you about lifestyle choices like diet and exercise, and they may refer you to an acupuncturist. I kept reading expecting there to be more, but that was it. So I am still left perplexed, how is this a new kind of doctor? Chiropractors have been offering a natural alternative to drugs, talking to their patient’s about lifestyle choices like diet and exercise and recommending other complementary alternative medicine treatments, such as acupuncture for years. So if you would like your health care provider to take an integrative approach, look no further than your local chiropractor.
