Going Through Cancer Treatment? We Can Help!
Acupuncture provides a total approach to health care for people with cancer. It can be used to address many of the concerns that come up during and after chemotherapy, radiation, biological therapy and surgery.
Pain Management: Acupuncture is very effective for managing pain related to tumors, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Patients who receive acupuncture may be able to use lower doses of pain medications.
Immune System Modulation: Many cancers and many cancer treatments cause a suppression of the immune system. Acupuncture increases blood cell production, enhances immune response and decreases risk of infection.
Inflammation: Increased inflammation is a part of the physiology of cancer. Many of the treatments for cancer such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery also cause painful inflammation. Acupuncture reduces the pain and swelling related to inflammation.
Nausea and Vomiting: Acupuncture has been shown to reduce the intensity and frequency of nausea and vomiting in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
Sleep: Cancer patients suffer sleep disruption and insomnia due to post-surgical discomfort, anxiety and depression and physical pain. By relieving these symptoms the cancer patient is able to get the deep sleep and rest required for recovery and healing.
Hot Flashes in Breast Cancer Patients: Acupuncture has been shown to decrease the frequency and intensity of hot flashes for breast cancer patients. Men with prostate cancer also experience hot flashes during treatment and would benefit from acupuncture.
Quality of Life: By managing the side effects of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormonal therapies, supporting normal digestive function, eliminating depression, and reducing stress, the quality of life of cancer patients is improved by acupuncture treatments.
