Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) refers to those medical and health care practices, modalities, products, and treatments which are not integrated into conventional medicine in the United States. CAM practices and modalities which are used in conjunction with conventional medical care are considered to be complementary, while those practices and modalities used in place of conventional medicine are considered to be alternative. In both cases, data regarding safety and efficacy are generally not fully available.
