A study completed in December of last year has shown that more than 53% of office-based physicians in the U.S., across multiple specialty areas, recommended at least one complementary health approach, such as integrated medicine therapies, to their patients during the previous year.¹

In the study, the researchers found recommendations by physicians to their patients for approaches including, non-vitamin supplements, chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, and other therapies.One of the most highly recommended therapy was chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, followed by supplements.

According to Journal of Alternative Medicine and Complementary Medicine,

“The data likely significantly understate present level of recommendations of complementary health practices by physicians.”
