Why Acupuncture?

Acupuncture & Traditional Medicine Information Center

Acupuncture offers a safe and effective counterbalance to the harsh side effects of chemotherapy on the body. Chemotherapy sessions aggressively alter the body’s Qi, or life energy, that maintains the natural health and balance. Acupuncture treatments can stimulate Qi in order to strengthen and rebalance the body. In addition, research studies have suggested acupuncture can play an important role in the supportive care of cancer patients.


Acupuncture treatments before and after chemo can relieve the pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue commonly caused by chemotherapy. Acupuncture treatments strengthen the immune system, helping patients to stay healthy and fight disease.

A typical regiment for chemotherapy patients includes full treatments in between chemotherapy sessions, as well as short treatments immediately before chemo in order to promote the body’s resilience for the session. Regular acupuncture treatments can also promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.
