Other conditions treated
Acupuncture’s ability to treat the body as an interconnected system makes it a versatile and effective treatment for a wide range of conditions. By addressing the root causes of imbalances, acupuncture not only alleviates symptoms but also enhances overall health and vitality.
Cancer Care Support
Acupuncture is frequently used as a complementary therapy for those undergoing cancer treatment. It can help alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, such as:
Nausea and Vomiting: Acupuncture has been shown to significantly reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy
Fatigue: Treatments can improve energy levels and combat treatment-related exhaustion
Pain Management: Acupuncture helps alleviate cancer-related pain and neuropathy
Emotional Support: By calming the nervous system, acupuncture can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress often experienced during treatment
Skin Health
Acupuncture promotes skin health by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and addressing internal imbalances that manifest in skin conditions. It can be effective for:
Acne: Reduces inflammation and hormonal imbalances that contribute to breakouts
Eczema and Psoriasis: Calms the immune response and reduces itching and redness
