For people with chronic or life-threatening illnesses, many complementary therapies are available to help alleviate stress, manage symptoms and reduce pain. UT Medical Center’s Cancer Institute believes that those complementary medicines that have been shown to be beneficial are important to the well-being of patients. Used in concert with conventional medicine, these therapies can assist you in dealing with many aspects of your care.
Currently, there are many therapies that are popular and have been proven to offer benefits to patients. However, there are many others that are not helpful and have even been found to be detrimental or harm. Patients should always check with their physicians regarding any therapy or treatments.
The Cancer Institute is proud to be a sponsor of the Wellness Community where you can receive training in methods to reduce your stress and enhance your wellness. Please visit their East Tennessee site for more information. |
