There are many types of CAM practices, how do people know how to choose the right practice?

Ellen Rehm

It is important for people interested in CAM to visit their health care physician to get a diagnosis of the condition they are struggling with. The person should ask other options from their health care provider about the choices they have for treatment and medicine care. It is important for the person to know how to integrate CAM into their conventional medical care (if their diagnosis is that intense). After talking about their treatment options, the person can then start to look for a CAM provider. The person might also want to do individual researching on their own about CAM. Before finding a CAM provider, the person should interview with multiple providers. The person should discuss their condition and explain everything about the diagnosis and treatment options that the physician already discussed. The CAM provider can then find the best option for the person with the diagnosis.
