Received Date: Mar 02, 2025 / Published Date: Mar 30, 2025
Abstract
The integration of conventional and alternative medicine (CAM) has gained significant attention in the healthcare sector due to its potential to improve patient outcomes. This paper examines successful models of integrative care that combine conventional treatments with CAM practices such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and chiropractic therapies. It explores the advantages and challenges of such integrative approaches, focusing on patient care, treatment efficacy, and healthcare system implications. Successful models are assessed in terms of patient satisfaction, health improvement, and cost-effectiveness. The challenges include regulatory issues, a lack of standardized practices, and resistance from some medical professionals. Through a systematic review of existing integrative models, the paper highlights the importance of collaboration between conventional practitioners and CAM providers. This review also identifies areas where further research is needed to strengthen the integration of conventional and alternative treatments, fostering a holistic, patient-centered care approach.
