Integrative Rheumatology offers a new and much-needed perspective
in disease and symptom management, blending conventional medicine
with alternative approaches not typically included in a Western
medical practice. While conventional treatments can provide
considerable symptomatic relief and can even slow the progression
of many rheumatologic conditions, integrative treatment
incorporating lifestyle interventions, mind-body approaches, and
practices such as acupuncture and meditation into conventional
medical therapies can improve quality of life, reduce medication
dosages, and are generally better tolerated. In this book,
researchers and clinicians highlight specific gaps in conventional
rheumatologic care and examine how alternative approaches may be
ideally suited to address these missed opportunities. Here, the
authors introduce topics not typically addressed in conventional
rheumatology texts, including nutritional therapies, exercise,
herbal medicine, mind/body approaches, Ayurveda, and energy
medicine. The contributors, all of whom have a background in
academic medicine, share the approaches that they have found most
effective in their own practices, basing their work on the best
scientific evidence available. Ultimately, an understanding of
complementary and alternative approaches to healing can help
clinicians care for their patients using the best proven therapies
to modify disease progress and relieve pain and disability.
