Perhaps quite rightly, we are not allowed in the Western world to make any claims about the effectiveness or otherwise of using Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupunture for the treatment of cancers.
However, as this reported study has shown, traditional acupuncture can help with the relief of pain resulting from chemotherapy treatments. It has also been shown to be useful in terms of the other side effects of cancer treatments such as nausea and fatigue as illustrated in this British Acupuncture Council Fact Sheet about Cancer Care, which is also available here in pdf format: Cancer_care_September_2011.
If you would like to discuss how acupuncture could help you if you are undergoing treatment for cancer then please call us at Bridgeways Clinic.
