Integrative medicine, which links the strengths of Korea’s traditional medicine and Western medicine, is cutting-edge convergent medicine that provides optimal services for patients in most fields, except surgery and emergency medicine.
Traditional Korean treatments and modern medical treatments can deliver superior results compared to stand-alone therapies when applied in a patient-centered, multidisciplinary, and integrative manner. This is especially important for patients with intractable diseases such as cancer, severe chronic pain caused by aging and degenerative changes, and systemic symptoms resulting from recurrent inflammation and metabolic disorders. In such cases, integrative medicine represents a new paradigm that seeks not only physical health but also holistic recovery.
