Oncology Acupuncture
Acupuncture – recognized as being an effective complementary therapy by the Canadian Cancer Society.
Undergoing cancer treatment can challenge both body and spirit. Oncology acupuncture offers a complementary approach to support you during this time.
A Registered Acupuncturist can tailor treatments to address the unique needs of individuals undergoing cancer therapy, helping to ease side effects such as nausea, fatigue, pain, and anxiety.
COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE
Support for Body & Mind
At AcuNiagara, your practitioner understands the complexity of cancer care. Oncology acupuncture works alongside your medical treatments, providing a natural way to restore balance to your body.
Research has shown that acupuncture can stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation.
For patients facing the side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, acupuncture can offer relief and help rebuild strength as you navigate the healing process.
Recovery After Cancer Treatment
Acupuncture can also play an essential role in your long-term recovery plan after cancer treatments. Many survivors face lingering challenges such as neuropathy, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and emotional stress.
Regular acupuncture sessions can help rebuild your energy, improve circulation, and alleviate discomfort, supporting your body’s natural healing processes.
Additionally, it provides a holistic approach to managing stress and improving sleep quality, helping you regain balance and vitality as you transition into a new chapter of health and wellness.

REGISTERED ACUPUNCTURIST
Hello, I’m Barbara
My goal is to help you through the cancer journey with supportive acupuncture therapies that work alongside your doctor’s treatment plan.
Acupuncture is not given to treat cancer – your oncology team is already providing customized care in that way. However, it is both useful and safe to support you both during and after your oncology treatment.
You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Acupuncture for cancer support is a compassionate, integrative tool designed to meet your individual needs. Let’s help you regain a sense of hope and control as you move forward in this part of your life.
As a Registered Acupuncturist, I have additional training in Oncology Acupuncture and can work with your oncology team to ensure you have safe, highly effective acupuncture care.
