Complementary Care
Acupuncture, chiropractic, supplements, mind-body practices, and other approaches people use alongside conventional care. What has been studied, what hasn't, and how to talk about it with your care team.
How Rerouted covers a topic
Four lenses, every time.
The first explainers for this topic are being researched. Here is the frame every one of them will follow.
What exists
A wide range of practices, from ones with decades of research to ones with none. They are not all the same, and we won't treat them as if they were.
Explainers in developmentWhat the evidence says
Where studies exist, what they measured, how large they were, and whether the results have been repeated.
Explainers in developmentWhere the limits are
"Natural" is not the same as safe, and "studied" is not the same as proven. Some approaches interact with medication. Your care team needs to know what you're using.
Questions worth asking
- What is this claimed to do, and what has actually been measured?
- Could it interact with anything I take?
- What does it cost over a year?
