Breast cancer and acupuncture
Posted on 04/10/2019 in Current Affairs
1 in 7 women in the Netherlands gets breast cancer. A shocking fact. Let's be very clear right away: acupuncture cannot cure cancer. Your acupuncturist can support you with fatigue, nausea, restlessness, sleep problems, and the emotional aspects. Both practice and research show that, crystal clear.
Integrative Medicine Consultation
The Oncology Center of Rijnstate Hospital in Arnhem offers an Integrative Medicine consultation*. Patients are increasingly asking questions about additional care outside the hospital. This care can positively contribute to well-being during or after regular treatment, but it can also work against it. Therefore, it is good to discuss the possibilities and to receive advice on the safety and effectiveness of complementary care at this consultation.
Slogan: Acupuncture – Effective on Many Points
That acupuncture is effective for conditions such as nausea and other symptoms that may occur during an oncological treatment process has long been known among acupuncturists. Extensive research has been conducted on this, for example, on the effect on postoperative nausea, with excellent results. When performed by well-trained acupuncturists, the safety of acupuncture is ensured. This makes acupuncture one of the treatment options recommended by Rijnstate.
Collaboration
Several NVA acupuncturists already work intensively and pleasantly with Rijnstate. There are initiatives to expand the network and provide more structure. These are developments that make us happy, and NVA is happy to contribute to them. Not least for all those patients we can reach this way. Those who feel their complaints decrease and whose quality of life improves or is maintained.
