SANCHEZ VALDEOLLA, Oscar. Natural and Traditional Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Medisur [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.4, pp. 479-481. ISSN 1727-897X.

Natural and Traditional Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation are used to treat similar conditions. As a result, patients can receive interchangeably either treatment, although some professionals do not see such interrelation between these two specialties. The current paper presents a methodological analysis on the therapeutic possibilities of both practices in order to identify their actual possibilities to treat or not certain conditions. It was found that various diseases can be treated with either medicine on a combined, successive and alternative basis and that their effect is limited for other conditions.

Keywords : physical and rehabilitation medicine; medicine, chinese traditional; therapeutics.
