Chemotherapy and acupuncture

Thinking of getting acupuncture for the effects of chemotherapy?  Well in Parker Colorado you can.

Nausea from Chemotherapy: When people are under treatment for any cancer the drugs can wreak havoc on the body’s systems.  Nausea is a main complaint (along with fatigue and other not so fun stuff). Acupuncture (along with some easy home care stuff) can greatly reduce the symptoms and let you get back to life quicker.  For quick results it is recommended that you come in for around 8 visits over 12 weeks. I even like to add in some ‘self-physiologic control practice and training’ (basically meditation techniques to help you better tune into your body and control it.)  There are also some great self-care tricks I can teach you.  Acupuncture also helps get your energy level back to normal, instead of that wonky fatigue heavy feeling.  Let’s be real though, not everyone can benefit from just a few visits, and healing takes time. Check out the articles I found below for more information. 
Acupuncture is only $60 a visit, and to make it even better, we have plans that make the per-visit charge even cheaper.  Probably a good investment to feel more normal.  Call or text for an appointment 720-325-9886
Well the next question is how it works.  Best we can surmise is, first of all, it relaxes you.  This is an essential part of any healing process.  There may also be benefit from the stimulation of the mediators of inflammation and healing.  In the process of acupuncture you get little red marks around the needle point insertion.  This is a histamine response and is actually a wake up call to your immune system.  

Acupuncture also works on a very subtle form of energy we can call Chi or Ki.  Simply said, it is the energy that on can feel and manipulate.  It surrounds everything, and even goes through it.  You CAN feel it if you practice.  It is not as hooey as you would think.  In fact.  There is a way with acupuncture to really focus that energy and healing power, redirect it to where it is deficient.  

The way I do a treatment is to first set the stage.  We need a cozy and warm place that smells nice.  Not too much like a clinic.  With chemotherapy you have had more than enough of the smell of gloves and rubbing alcohol.  You will be instructed to lie on your back and breathe using the diaphragm.  The needles will be placed (ouchlessly) in very specific spots to get just the results we want, whether that is for the nausea or fatigue or to improve general vitality.  Then a warm stone is placed on your belly to help you focus your breathing and really enhance the healing energies where we need them.  This is totally YOUR time.  I will come back a couple times during the treatment to help guide your thoughts back to the process and to manipulate the needles.  

When I manipulate the needles I am trying to refocus your mind both consciously and subconsciously on the points and the energy.
