Acupuncture is a safe and effective complementary therapy during chemotherapy, helping to minimize side effects and support patients in completing their recommended treatment course.
With just two acupuncture sessions per week, patients experience significant relief from nausea, aches, fatigue, dizziness, and neuropathy—often noticing improvements within the first 1 to 4 visits.
A standard chemotherapy regimen consists of six sessions spaced every 2 to 3 weeks. Regular acupuncture provides immediate relief from discomfort and accelerates recovery, ensuring patients are better prepared for the next round of treatment.
Even after completing chemotherapy, many individuals struggle with lingering symptoms such as neuropathy and persistent aches. Acupuncture can facilitate further healing, helping the body recover more fully.
For those on long-term estrogen-blocking medication, acupuncture effectively reduces hot flashes and night sweats, enhancing overall comfort and well-being.
Acupuncture is increasingly recognized as a valuable supportive therapy in cancer care. By promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and alleviating side effects, it helps patients feel more at ease—both physically and mentally. With improved well-being, reduced anxiety, and enhanced recovery, acupuncture empowers your body to heal itself, allowing you to focus on living life to the fullest.

Below is a red blood cell count, which remained stable even with continued chemotherapy. Before third chemotherapy, the count was 3.42, fourth was 3.3, and fifth was 3.58. Not only the patient felt better, the lab data verified the better state.
Patient Testimonial
Jay S
After being diagnosed with ovarian cancer and beginning chemotherapy, I began to experience hot flashes and night sweats. I was also suffering from neuropathy. After trying several medications to treat both [conditions] without much success, a friend recommended Dr. Lee. I have been coming to him for several months and no longer suffer from the hot flashes. His treatment has also reduced the pain from the neuropathy and I no longer need to take pain medication. Dr. Lee’s treatment has improved the quality of my daily life and I would recommend him.
