Cancer support

Compassionate Care, Backed by Research

Cancer treatment often brings physical and emotional challenges — from pain and fatigue to nausea and anxiety. Acupuncture is increasingly recognized as a valuable complementary therapy to support patients alongside conventional oncology care.

Supportive Benefits of Acupuncture

Relief from nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy

Reduction in cancer-related pain and peripheral neuropathy

Improvement in fatigue, sleep, and mood

Support for immune system balance and overall vitality

Reduction of hot flushes in hormone therapy patients

Improvement in quality of life and emotional resilience

Evidence & Research

Nausea & Vomiting: The U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) notes that acupuncture significantly reduces chemotherapy-induced nausea.

Pain Management: The Journal of Clinical Oncology (2018) reported that acupuncture reduces joint pain in breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitors.

Fatigue: A 2018 BMJ study demonstrated meaningful improvements in cancer-related fatigue with acupuncture compared to standard care.

Neuropathy: Clinical reviews suggest acupuncture supports nerve recovery and reduces chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain.
