MEDICAL TREATMENT

A therapy or medical treatment is the attempted remediation of a health problem, usually following a medical diagnosis. As a rule, each therapy has indications and contraindications. There are many different types of therapy. Not all therapies are effective. Many therapies can produce unwanted adverse effects. Treatment implies something being done to help someone get better, to reach recovery. Ideally it is a psychosocial intervention which may be packaged. Treatment of something involves putting a particular substance onto or into it, in order to clean it, to protect it, or to give it special properties.
