Assignment Task: Give a General overview of Complementary and Alternative Modalities (CAM)
My general overview definition of CAM below needs to be improved in my work. However, I am struggling. Is there anyone with a better explanation and/or general overview of Complementary and Alternative Modalities (CAM)?
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is an umbrella term describing a range of health systems, modalities, and practices that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine. CAM modalities are divided into five main categories by the American National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health: alternative medical systems, biologically based treatments, manipulative and Body-based methods, mind-body interventions, and energy therapies.
