A client with chronic lower back pain states, "My nurse practitioner told me that acupuncture might enhance the effect of the prescribed medications and physical therapy." Which type of therapy is the nurse practitioner recommending?

Choice A reason: Biopsychosocial therapy refers to a model of care that integrates biological, psychological, and social factors. While holistic, it is not the specific category describing acupuncture. Choice B reason: Complementary therapy refers to interventions used alongside conventional treatments. Acupuncture is often used to enhance the effects of medications and physical therapy, making this the correct answer. Choice C reason: Alternative therapy refers to interventions used instead of conventional treatments. Since acupuncture is being used in addition to prescribed medications and physical therapy, it is complementary, not alternative. Choice D reason: Physiotherapy involves physical rehabilitation techniques such as exercise, massage, and mobilization. Acupuncture is not classified as physiotherapy.
