A RESOURCE FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS

ONCOLOGY SUPPORT

OUR SERVICES CAN BENEFIT YOUR PATIENTS AS PART OF TREATMENT PLANNING 

We work with people through all stages of their oncology diagnosis and beyond - whether newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or in remission.
ONCOLOGY SUPPORT:
FOR PATIENTS IN TREATMENT & REMISSION
​

Cancer treatments can be extremely taxing to the body and emotionally exhausting - with numerous, often debilitating, side effects. We offer adjunct, supportive therapies to address the emotional and physical impact of Western treatment in all stages of care.

 

Acupuncture and supportive therapies have proven to reduce both physical and emotional side effects, relieve pain, strengthen the body and increase overall resilience.

​

The National Institute of Health (NIH) began evaluating the safety and effectiveness of acupuncture over 20 years ago – culminating extensive research confirming its many benefits as a supportive therapy to cancer patients and survivors. 

Studies have shown, that for the vast majority of patients, treatment with acupuncture either relieves symptoms or prevents their progression.

Supportive therapy focuses on optimizing overall physical and emotional health – to best prepare for the rigors of Western Oncology treatments – whether before, during and after interventions such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
