Acupuncture Support for Cancer Patients

A cancer diagnosis and its treatment can bring a wide range of physical and emotional challenges. Acupuncture offers a gentle, supportive approach to help manage side effects and improve overall wellbeing during and after treatment.

I work alongside your medical care to support you safely and appropriately at every stage.

How Acupuncture Can Help

Acupuncture may help with:

• Fatigue and low energy
• Pain (including joint, nerve, or post-treatment pain)
• Nausea and digestive discomfort
• Hot flushes and night sweats
• Sleep problems
• Anxiety, stress, and emotional wellbeing
• Dry mouth or taste changes
• Peripheral neuropathy (tingling or numbness)
  

.A Supportive, Individual Approach

Each treatment is tailored to you, taking into account:

• Your diagnosis and treatment plan
• Your current symptoms and energy levels
• Where you are in your recovery

Treatments are gentle and adapted to how you’re feeling on the day.

Safety First

Your safety is always the priority.

• I will ask about your diagnosis, medications, and treatment schedule
• Treatment is adapted if you are undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or recovering from surgery
• I avoid techniques that may not be appropriate (e.g. if immunity or blood counts are low)
• I am happy to work alongside your consultant, GP, or specialist team
  

Working Alongside Your Medical Care

Acupuncture is used as a complementary therapy, not an alternative to medical treatment.

It can be a valuable way to support your body and improve quality of life during a challenging time.

A Calm Space for You

Many patients find that acupuncture also provides:

• Time to relax and switch off
• Support for emotional wellbeing
• A sense of balance and grounding
