Answers:

Complementary medicine

Explanation:

Complementary medicine

It is a a form of medicine that has to do with a set of diagnostic and therapeutic medicine used in conjunction with standard medical treatments but are not grouped or classified as a standard treatment. Take for example, acupuncture which is a type of complementary therapy can be employed to reduce a client's pain after undergoing surgery.

Complementary medicine is not the same as alternative medicine as it is employed in conjunction with conventional medicine. Alternative medicine is employed instead of conventional medicine.
