If you consider alternative or complementary therapies, it is important to discuss these with your doctor so they can assess if the therapy will interfere with your medical treatment.
It may be helpful to ask the following questions when exploring alternative treatments:
- How does the treatment work?
- What is the cost of treatment?
- How frequent are treatments required?
- What training do practitioners receive and are they registered or licensed?
- What results may be expected?
