Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Integrative medicine is an integration of traditional internal medicine practice with evidence-based complementary therapies like acupuncture, yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition counseling. It is designed to treat the entire individual, not the disease, to maximize physical, as well as emotional, well-being. Internal medicine doctors are increasingly using integrative methods to manage chronic pain, stress-related diseases, and disease caused by lifestyle.

By providing patients with more tailored choices of care, integrative medicine enhances compliance and patient satisfaction. Doctors also stress the need for scientific verification and safety in choosing complementary practices. This integration of old and new approaches is transforming internal medicine into a more patient-oriented and holistic field.
