Are you about to start
a course of chemotherapy?
Worried about the side effects?
We Can Help.
The potential side effects of chemotherapy - nausea, fatigue, insomnia, decreased immunity, etc., - are for some people more challenging than the cancer it is used to treat. Fortunately, the increasing integration of natural healing therapies into conventional medical care has brought welcome assistance to cancer patients facing chemotherapy-related side effects . . . . acupuncture.
Endorsed by the National Institute of Health, oncologists, and cancer patients around the world, acupuncture is an effective, affordable and pleasant means of reducing or eliminating the side effects of chemotherapy. Through the careful placement of small, hair-like wires at specific points on the body (mostly below the elbows and knees), an acupuncturist gently stimulates the patient’s central nervous system - causing the natural release of neurotransmitters and hormones.
Because acupuncture works by influencing the patient’s own internal mechanisms of regulating balance and healing, it is capable of treating various symptoms at once without causing negative side effects. Among the positive “side effects” of acupuncture treatments are:
- improved energy and digestion
- increased mental clarity and calmness
- strengthened immunity
