Encinitas Acupuncture for Cancer Pain in Adults

For years, Acupuncture has been known to reduce a wide range of common side effects and bolster one’s vitality. Acupuncture should be used before, during, and after cancer treatment. Many studies have documented the effectiveness of acupuncture for pain in cancer patients. At Revivorship™, we use acupuncture for cancer pain in adults to ensure that our patients can effectively and efficiently reduce the effects of cancer treatments and cancer itself.

The Chinese medicine offered at Revivorship targets these issues using acupuncture, herbology, and nutritional guidance from a unique perspective that is highly individualized to the patient or caregiver. At Revivorship™ we’ve been touched by cancer ourselves and witnessed the value and benefits of complementary treatments like acupuncture for cancer pain.

Acupuncture is a medical system that originated in China over 4,000 years ago and has been clinically proven to provide relief for fatigue, nausea, pain, neuropathy, anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive, and hormonal imbalances, many of which are side effects of cancer treatment. It works by placing pressure on and/or inserting thin needles on specific points in the body to increase energy and blood flow to the areas in need of healing.

Acupuncture for cancer patients is individualized to the patient or caregivers’ specific needs. In Chinese medicine,it is believed that a blockage of energy and blood flow may initiate disease states and even be the cause of pain. Releasing the blockage can result in the alleviation of symptoms and promotes greater health. We’ve found that many powerful benefits from acupuncture and cancer side effects subside thereafter.

"Acupuncture changed so much for me. After just my first session I felt a state of calm focus that I thought was lost to me forever. After several sessions, I could feel my energy flowing, my digestive issues started to clear up, and I could sleep through the night again.”
