What is Oncology Acupuncture?
Oncology acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine designed specifically to support cancer patients through treatment. Unlike general acupuncture, oncology acupuncturists receive advanced training in cancer care, understanding how treatments affect your body and which approaches work best for treatment-related symptoms.
This field focuses on providing supportive cancer care with acupuncture during chemotherapy and radiation, helping you find natural ways to manage side effects while working safely alongside your medical team. Research consistently shows acupuncture can significantly help with treatment-induced nausea, cancer pain, fatigue, hot flashes, and nerve damage from chemotherapy.
