Acupuncture is a practiced medical treatment that is 5,000 years old. It can be utilized before, during and after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. It is very effective in reducing the side effects of these common cancer treatments. Acupuncture provides supportive treatment and helps to heal and strengthen the patient’s body, mind and spirit.
