Acupuncture for Breast Cancer

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to help manage symptoms associated with breast cancer and its treatments. It may help reduce side effects like pain, nausea, fatigue, and hot flashes. Although it doesn't cure cancer, many patients find acupuncture beneficial as a complementary approach to improve their quality of life. It's performed by trained practitioners and is generally safe when done properly. Always consult your healthcare team before incorporating acupuncture into your treatment plan.
