Course Summary

Conventional treatments for neurologic conditions tend to be limited and show moderate to poor results. It is becoming increasingly common for patients to seek integrated health treatments and therapies for neurological disorders such as dementia, epilepsy, and migraines. The integrated therapies include a variety of modalities, such as approaches in nutrition, supplements, acupuncture, exercise, and mind-body medicine, among others. It is expected that the number of patients utilizing integrative medicine will continue to grow exponentially in years to come. This is the first in a two-part series on Neurological Conditions and Integrative Medicine.
