Oncology Support -

Acupuncture is increasingly used to treat a variety of symptoms and conditions associated with cancer and the side effects of cancer treatments.

This parallels a broader trend of the world's top-ranked cancer centres integrating acupuncture into their cancer care, and an increase in acupuncture research in the field of oncology in the past twenty years.

Our clinic strictly advises that Chinese medicine and acupuncture should never be used alone for the treatment of cancer itself, but may be used to support certain symptoms associated with cancer and side effects of cancer treatment.

Some of the signs and symptoms that acupuncture can treat are:

  • Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting

  • Pain

  • Postoperative ileus

  • Dry mouth

  • Hot Flashes

  • Fatigue

  • Depression/Anxiety

  • Sleep Disturbances
