Sutter Center for Integrative Health endorses the use of alternative medicine for the treatment and management of back pain – however your decision on whether to use complementary medicine should involve several issues, including the amount of research available on the treatment you are considering, the opinion of your medical doctor, and why you are considering complementary therapy.
