If it is not the normal therapy used by the majority of providers it would be called the alternative choice.

I think that the word 'alternative' isn't a synonym for 'doesn't work'! It means that it's not the mainstream treatment. So to stop being called 'alternative' the treatment would have to become mainstream. Does that help?
