A growing number of patients are turning to integrative and alternative medicine in PM&R to complement conventional rehabilitation approaches. Acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and therapeutic massage are being widely incorporated to alleviate pain and improve neuromuscular function. Herbal medicine, nutritional interventions, and mind-body techniques such as yoga and tai chi contribute to holistic healing. Biofeedback and energy-based therapies are also emerging as supportive tools for pain modulation and muscle relaxation. Integrating these alternative modalities with standard rehabilitation protocols offers a comprehensive approach to recovery, addressing physical, emotional, and physiological aspects of healing while promoting overall wellness.
