As defined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a component of the National Institutes of Health, complementary and alternative medicine is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices and products not presently considered part of conventional medicine. Some CAM therapies include acupuncture, chiropractic, naturopathic medicine, homeopathic medicine, massage and therapeutic touch.

While difficult to quantify how many North Carolinians use CAM, the state has seen a dramatic increase in the number of health care professionals offering
these alternatives.

Join host Christine Rogers for the UNC-TV special HealthWise: Complementary & Alternative Medicine. During this hour-long program, a panel of experts and practitioners from across North Carolina will examine the growing industry of alternative and complementary medicine in the state to expose why so many Tar Heels are now seeking therapies outside conventional medicine modalities.
