Cancer treatment can be physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. Along with the stress and uncertainty of a diagnosis, patients may experience nausea, neuropathy, fatigue, hot flashes, dry mouth, pain, and difficulty sleeping. Acupuncture offers a calming, supportive environment and may help relieve certain treatment-related symptoms, improving comfort and quality of life. Drawing on his experience at Emory's Winship Cancer Institute, Dr. David provides compassionate, individualized care throughout the treatment journey.
Research suggests acupuncture may help relieve certain cancer-treatment-related symptoms, including nausea and some types of pain, while evidence for other symptoms continues to develop. Treatment is coordinated with your oncology care when appropriate and tailored to your medical history, treatment schedule, and individual needs.
Important: Acupuncture is supportive care and does not treat cancer or replace conventional cancer treatment. Certain medical conditions, including low blood counts or increased infection risk, may require modifications or postponement of acupuncture.
