Get acupuncture to help reduce your cancer treatment side effects

 A cancer diagnosis can be a challenging time. By utilizing acupuncture, you can manage your chemotherapy symptoms, improve your quality of life, and maintain your Western treatment.​ You rely on Western Medicine for your health, and Be Healthy Acupuncture works closely with your doctor for optimum health.

Manage Pain

According to the American Cancer Society, cancer patients may experience pain when diagnosed, during treatment, and even after cancer is in remission. Acupuncture has been recommended by the National Institutes of Health as a recommended alternative to opioid medication for alleviating pain. ​

Reduce Fatigue

Fatigue is a common side effect of chemotherapy, and can be debilitating by restricting your daily activities. Research by the Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America suggests acupuncture ​may be helpful in managing cancer-related fatigue.

Reduce Nausea and Vomiting

An article in the journal Current Oncology estimates half of all cancer patients will experience nausea and vomiting either due to their cancer or its treatment. Research published by the Cochrane Review on using acupuncture for nausea and vomiting suggests it is as effective as Western drugs. The combination of acupuncture and Western drugs showed a significant improvement over Western treatment alone.

Improve Quality of Life

One of the most challenging aspects of going through your diagnosis is choosing a cancer treatment plan. ​Only you, along with your doctor's guidance, can determine what quality of life means to you. Acupuncture can help you achieve those goals such as improving sleep, digestion, hot flashes, dry mouth, peripheral neuropathy, and peace of mind by reducing depression or anxiety.
