Complementary & Alternative Medicine

If you've made the decision to seek natural / complementary / alternative therapies for your child's care, involve your pediatrician in the process. In most cases, such therapies work best when used in combination with traditional medical care. Your doctor may be able to help you better understand these therapies, whether they have scientific merit, whether claims about them are accurate or exaggerated and whether they pose any risks to your child's well-being.
