Riassunto:

This practical textbook eliminates the uncertainty of alternative treatments by helping you critique their effectiveness. Review the essentials of scientific and clinical trials and apply that knowledge to an exhaustive review of trials performed on popular treatments. The findings offer firm, scientific evidence to support, and in some cases, refute, the biochemical/biomechanical effectiveness of complementary therapies. This approach provides practical information on how to effectively incorporate alternative therapies with more traditional treatments.
