What is complementary medicine?

At HC Marbella, we include in complementary medicine, specific aspects of Nutrition, Psychology, Acupuncture, Yoga, “Mindfulness”, Physiotherapy through consultation with a Medical Coordinator and Advisor.

What is the benefit for us?

It has been scientifically proven the beneficial effects for certain processes: rheumatic diseases, fibromyalgia, back pain, cardiovascular, urologic, gynecologic, oncological diseases… and in the field of fertility, some of these practices may also be proposed by specialists.

In the cases of oncological diseases, we want to make it clear that in no way replaces your cancer treatment: they complement it. Conventional cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy) remain indispensable for proper management of the disease but, like all drugs, sometimes have uncomfortable side effects these new proposals of complementary therapies aim to alleviate.

Complementary medicine can help you live better with the disease, often relieving the side effects of conventional treatments, but also helping to physically recover from the sometimes aggressive treatment.

With this Complementary Medicine Unit, we intend to prevent patients of making the mistake of looking for other alternative medicine treatments without a scientifically proven benefit, always offering options with strict medical criteria.
