Acupuncture can be a helpful treatment for cancer patients before, during, and after chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy or surgery. Research has shown it can:

     • Reduce pain (from cancer or surgery)

     • Relieve stress

     • Anxiety

     • Depression

     • Sleeping issues

     • Improve and boost immune health

Acupuncture ​can also help to manage the side effects of cancer treatment such as nausea and vomiting, fatigue, dry mouth, hot flashes and much more.

Here at Authentic Acupuncture, we realize the side effects of cancer treatment can be as bad as symptoms of the disease itself, reducing a patient’s overall quality of life. Acupuncture is not a cure for cancer, but it can complement traditional anti-cancer interventions by managing the symptoms and side effects of the disease. Acupuncture is a natural, holistic and safe therapeutic option for all age groups. It is an excellent option to consider if you or your loved one is suffering from the side effects of cancer and its treatments.
