Support For Cancer Patients
Acupuncture provides valuable support to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy, contributing to their overall well-being and helping manage treatment-related side effects.
For cancer patients, acupuncture is often utilized as a complementary therapy to alleviate common side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, such as nausea, fatigue, pain, and anxiety. Research suggests that acupuncture may help mitigate chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, improve energy levels, and alleviate pain associated with cancer treatments. Additionally, acupuncture is known for its potential to enhance the overall quality of life for cancer patients by addressing emotional well-being, promoting relaxation, and supporting immune function.
Collaboration between oncologists and trained acupuncturists is essential to ensure the safe integration of acupuncture into a comprehensive cancer care plan. While acupuncture is not a substitute for conventional cancer treatments, it has demonstrated its ability to enhance the patient's resilience, alleviate treatment-related symptoms, and contribute to a more holistic and supportive approach to cancer care.
As with any integrative therapy, the patient will receive an individualized consultation with our healthcare professional which will tailor a treatment plan to the unique needs and circumstances of each cancer patient.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Soto and her staff are wonderful! I found Dr. Soto after I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I am so grateful I did. She is a very caring, knowledgeable, and honest doctor that takes time to get to know you, listens to you, and answers all your questions in a detailed manner. She is always busy, but she is never in a rush. She has helped me tremendously to get through chemotherapy with minimal side effects. I am amazed with the wonders her acupuncture and ozone therapy do to my body. I highly recommend Blue Root!
