Cancer Support

Supporting Cancer Patients with Acupuncture Treatments

According to the American Cancer Society, over 2 million new cancer cases are diagnosed in the US each year since 2024.  Advances in cancer treatment have significantly improved survival rates but more patients than ever now experience debilitating side effects from chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

How Acupuncture Helps Cancer Patients

While chemotherapy and other treatments effectively target cancer cells, they can also impact healthy cells. This leads to a range of side-effects that disrupt daily life and, in some cases, forces oncologists to reduce or even stop treatment. This is where Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can potentially make a meaningful difference.

  • ·Reduces treatment side effects – Helps manage nausea, fatigue, brain fog, and peripheral neuropathy.

  • Improves energy & well-being – Supports the body’s natural healing processes, reducing exhaustion and sleep disturbances.

  • Manages stress & anxiety – Calms the nervous system, promoting relaxation and emotional resilience.

  • Enhances treatment tolerance – Some patients find that Acupuncture helps them continue or restart life-saving treatments that were previously intolerable.
