Acupuncture is a gentle, evidence-informed therapy that uses fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to help restore balance and ease symptoms.
How it helps
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and supported by modern research, acupuncture is increasingly used in cancer care to ease pain, fatigue, nausea, peripheral neuropathy, anxiety, hot flushes, and sleep difficulties.
By stimulating key points, acupuncture can support the nervous system, improve circulation, and encourage the body’s natural calming and pain-relieving responses. Studies show it can reduce chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting, relieve cancer-related pain, and promote better mood and sleep.
Getting started
Speak with your oncology team and seek a licensed acupuncturist who has experience working with people affected by cancer. Sessions are usually 20–40 minutes long and tailored to your individual needs.
