Cancer Support With Acupuncture & Functional Medicine

Cancer Recovery Support

You made it through treatment—but healing doesn’t stop when the scans are clear. You may find you're not feel like yourself yet. After cancer care, many people are left feeling physically and emotionally drained. Fatigue, sleep issues, anxiety, digestive problems, hormonal changes, and lingering side effects from treatment are common with little in the way of resources on how to support this.

Surviving cancer is an incredible feat, but your body may feel unfamiliar. And emotionally? You might be trying to process everything all at once. This stage—the recovery—is often overlooked. You may have fewer appointments, less follow-up, and little guidance about how to rebuild your strength, regulate your body, and reclaim your sense of well-being.

That’s where we come in.

We offer gentle, supportive care to help your body recover and rebalance in the months and years after cancer treatment.


Common Post-Treatment Symptoms We Help With:

  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Poor sleep or circadian rhythm disruption
  • Mild neuropathy or lingering discomfort
  • Digestive upset or food reactivity
  • Hormonal imbalances (especially post-chemo or post-surgical)
  • Anxiety, low mood, or feeling emotionally "off"
  • Pain, stiffness, or loss of flexibility
  • Stress and nervous system dysregulation


Supporting the Whole Body, Gently and Intentionally

Your body has been through a lot—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Even when treatment is over, your systems may still be recovering from the effects of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, medications, or long-term stress.


Functional medicine helps guide the restoration process, looking at:

  • Gut health (often affected by medications or antibiotics)
  • Nutrient status and absorption
  • Detoxification and elimination pathways
  • Hormone shifts after treatment or medical menopause
  • Immune regulation and inflammation
  • Adrenal and stress response


Each person’s recovery is different. We tailor care to support what your body needs most and work to support your current care plan if you have one. 


How Acupuncture Supports Post-Cancer Recovery

Acupuncture is a safe, evidence-informed way to support the healing process after cancer treatment. It’s gentle but powerful—working with your nervous system to help the body regulate itself.

It may help with:

  • Reducing inflammation and pain
  • Easing mild neuropathy symptoms
  • Improving sleep quality
  • Calming anxiety or emotional reactivity
  • Enhancing energy and circulation
  • Supporting digestion and elimination


Acupuncture also helps activate the body’s parasympathetic (rest-and-repair) response, which is crucial during recovery—especially for people who have spent months or years in fight-or-flight mode.


We do not treat cancer itself. But we work with people who are in remission or have completed active treatment and are looking for ways to feel more like themselves again.

Acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing process. Functional medicine can guide you through restoring gut health, nutrient balance, and gentle detoxification—often disrupted by chemo, radiation, or long-term medications.


Your Recovery Matters

Post-cancer life can feel uncertain. You might look “fine” on paper but still not feel like yourself. That’s real—and valid.

We’re here to support your recovery with care that’s thoughtful, safe, and completely tailored to where you are now.


If you’re ready to rebuild, restore, and feel grounded in your body again, book your appointment today.
