Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment involves stimulating designated points on the body surface with fine needles. It is based on the regulation of energy pathways and circulation within your body.
Acupuncture can improve several cancer-related side effects and symptoms, including pain, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, hot flashes, peripheral neuropathy, and sleep disruption. Evidence shows better markers of immune function—an important body terrain factor related to cancer outcomes—among people with cancer treated with acupuncture.
Acupuncture is recommended by many integrative experts and medical groups in practice guidelines for managing cancer-related symptoms and side effects.
