Oncology Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be very beneficial as you move through treatment for cancer. It is the perfect compliment to cancer treatment.
Acupuncture helps to detoxify organs, repair cell function, and restore overall health.
It works on a different theory than western/conventional medicine by stimulating the whole body during treatment. Because it's a whole body theory, it can minimize recurrence of cancer.
