Integrative Medicine

Integrative medicine is receiving significant interest due to its use in cancer recovery, pain management and post-COVID care. At the Yang Institute of Integrative Medicine, we use this practice to address these and many other conditions. Our highly qualified doctors can help you reclaim your health.

What Is Integrative Medicine?

This evidence-based practice combines conventional and complementary therapies to meet physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health needs. It aims to establish and address the root cause of a condition.

Practitioners categorize complementary therapies:

• Physical: The physical approach may include acupuncture, vibration therapy, massage and yoga to alleviate health issues.
• Psychological: Psychological methods involve meditation, hypnosis, thermal therapy for relaxation and creative therapies like art and music.
• Nutritional: Nutritional therapies use supplements, herbs, probiotics and food alongside conventional methods to improve your well-being.

Besides improving your health, doctors use integrative medicine to reduce drug side effects and enhance quality of life.

For instance, chemotherapy side effects like nausea and fatigue can impact your ability to complete day-to-day activities. However, complementary therapies can diminish these symptoms, making it easier to live with life-changing diseases.
