treatment method
A specific procedure or approach in medicine or therapy used to treat an illness, an injury, or a psychological problem.

Acupuncture is an alternative treatment method that works for many patients.
The word is made up of 'Behandlung' (treatment), the linking -s, and 'Methode' (method). So it is literally a 'method of treatment' and therefore easy to understand.
Für diese Krankheit gibt es verschiedene Behandlungsmethoden.
There are various treatment methods for this disease.
'Behandlungsmethode' (treatment method) is often combined with adjectives that describe the type or effectiveness. Common ones are: 'neu' (new), 'modern' (modern), 'alternativ' (alternative), 'traditionell' (traditional), 'wirksam' (effective), or 'schonend' (gentle).
Viele Patienten suchen nach einer schonenden Behandlungsmethode mit wenigen Nebenwirkungen.
Many patients look for a gentle treatment method with few side effects.
Certain verbs are often used in connection with this noun. Doctors or therapists can 'anwenden' (use/apply), 'empfehlen' (recommend), or 'entwickeln' (develop) a treatment method.
Der Arzt wird die für Sie am besten geeignete Behandlungsmethode anwenden.
The doctor will use the treatment method best suited to you.
therapy
Both words can refer to a therapeutic approach. “Die Behandlungsmethode” explicitly names the individual procedure, whereas “die Therapie” can also mean the entire treatment concept, depending on the context. When you are talking about the procedure being used, “Behandlungsmethode” is more precise; “Therapie” is suitable for the concept.
