The Benefits of Acupuncture and Massage Therapy for Cancer Survivors

Writer: Laurel Stuart Dr. AcLaurel Stuart Dr. Ac



At North West Vibrational Acupuncture and Massage, we understand the importance of holistic healing during cancer remission. In our North West Calgary clinic, you will find a unique treatment—acu-massage. Acu-massage combines the therapeutic effects of both acupuncture and massage therapy in one session. For those in cancer remission, this combined approach offers powerful benefits for pain relief, stress reduction, and overall well-being.

Pain Relief and Improved Mobility

Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, can often lead to muscle soreness, joint pain, and fatigue. The gentle pressure applied during massage therapy helps alleviate muscle tightness, promote circulation, and restore mobility, while acupuncture targets specific energy pathways in the body to address pain at a deeper level. Combining both modalities enhances the overall pain management process, providing much-needed relief for those dealing with lingering side effects from cancer treatments.

Stress Reduction and Emotional Support

The emotional toll of cancer and its treatments can be just as challenging as the physical effects. Remission doesn’t always mean the end of anxiety, stress, or emotional strain. Acupuncture, through its ability to stimulate the nervous system, helps reduce levels of stress hormones, promoting a relaxed state. Massage therapy also reduces physical and mental tension and enhances emotional well-being. Together, acu-massage creates a holistic treatment that nurtures both mind and body, offering a sense of peace during recovery.

Boosting the Immune System

Both acupuncture and massage therapy play significant roles in supporting the immune system—crucial for individuals in cancer remission. Acupuncture helps balance the body’s energy, stimulating specific points that are known to boost the immune response. Meanwhile, massage therapy improves lymphatic flow and enhances the body’s natural detoxification process. This combination aids in preventing illness and supports overall health as the body continues to heal and recover.
