What are Integrative Therapies?
At the Health Center of Integrated Therapies, our focus is Complementary Medicine – a variety of therapies that complement modern conventional medicine - within an integrated health care model. Complementary Medicine is also sometimes referred to as Integrative Medicine and Integrative Therapies, hence our name – the Health Center of Integrated Therapies.
