Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Complementary medicine, as defined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices and products that are used together with conventional medicine. Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine.

RMA of Philadelphia works with a number of local experts and providers of alternative and complementary medicine techniques, including acupuncture, yoga, herbal therapies and mind body programs. Our physicians are supportive of alternative approaches and can integrate complementary or alternative treatment programs into a patient’s individual care.

For example, techniques such as yoga and meditation can help women and men better cope with the stress and anxiety of infertility treatment. By helping patients achieve a healthier state of mind, these techniques may even help to improve reproductive function.
