A1 - Johansson, Birgitta A2 - Mitra, Raj PY - 2019 T2 - Principles of Rehabilitation Medicine AB - Complementary and integrative health (cih) interventions, as operationalized by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) and the Veteran Health Administration (VHA) (VHA Directive, 2017–1137), includes a diverse group of treatments, many of which are already in use by the public. The World Health Organization has noted that between 65% and 80% of the global population uses some form of alternative or complementary medicine.1 Oftentimes, such practices are combined with accepted Western medicine practices, and therefore the term “complementary” (as opposed to “alternative” in which the treatment replaces traditional allopathic medical management) has been used. A brief overview of such practices is provided in Table 47–1. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/07 UR - accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159832260 ER -
