Managing Medication Side Effects with Acupuncture 

Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies are vital in fighting cancer but often come with challenging side effects. These side effects, including nausea, fatigue, digestive issues, and dry mouth, can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life and ability to maintain treatment schedules. At Stoney Creek Acupuncture, we provide specialized care to help manage these side effects, offering relief, promoting healing, and enhancing overall well-being.

How Acupuncture Can Help With Medication Side Effects

Acupuncture and Non-Invasive Therapies for Cancer Treatment Side Effects

Acupuncture, along with non-invasive therapies like cold laser, AcuTonics, and ultrasound, provides significant relief from cancer treatment side effects. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these therapies help restore balance within the body’s energy systems, promoting healing without the use of herbs.
 

Key Benefits of Acupuncture and Non-Invasive Therapies
 

  • Nausea and Digestive Support: Acupuncture and AcuTonics can reduce nausea and improve digestion by stimulating points related to gastrointestinal health, allowing for better nutrient absorption and reducing reliance on anti-nausea medications.
     

  • Energy Boost and Fatigue Relief:  Cold laser and acupuncture help improve circulation and adrenal function, addressing cancer-related fatigue and boosting overall vitality, so patients feel more energized and capable of daily activities.

​

  • Dry Mouth Relief: Cold laser therapy and acupuncture can stimulate salivary flow, offering relief from dry mouth caused by radiation therapy, improving comfort and hydration.
     

  • Emotional and Stress Support: Acupuncture and AcuTonics promote endorphin release and balance cortisol levels, helping patients manage stress, anxiety, and depression during their cancer journey.
