Open QuestionHow do doctors really feel about alternative medicine – and do they still view it as “hocus pocus”?In General Health Care

Because the field of alternative medicine is so broad and encompasses so many different types of treatment, it’s impossible to find any medical doctors who, across the board, endorse them all. That said, as more and more medical researchers are attracted to this field, and more studies are done, doctors are increasingly welcoming many forms of alternative medicine into their practice.
Among the most popular endorsed by doctors are biofeedback, massage, acupuncture, and other relaxation techniques. According to one survey of some 700 doctors, the treatment least likely to be recommended was herbal therapies, though some 68% admitted they have patients using products on their own.
Meanwhile, over 80% of the doctors surveyed said they wanted to learn more about alternative medicine – so expect that in the future more will be incorporating various forms of this treatment into their mainstream medical practices.
