Chiropractic Care for
Cancer Recovery

Chiropractic care can be used as a supportive therapy to help manage side effects of cancer and reduce the risk of treatment delays. A chiropractic adjustment may help alleviate a variety of cancer-related symptoms and help to reduce stress and increase mobility, flexibility, strength, and function. Chiropractic techniques are designed to relieve pain and stiffness in the joints and muscles caused or intensified by surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Massage Therapy for
Cancer Recovery

One of the main reasons people with cancer use massage is because it helps them feel good. It is a way they feel they can help themselves during the recovery process. Generally, massage therapy can help lift your mood, improve your sleep and enhance your well-being. Massage is a natural way to help patients relax and cope with stress, anxiety, headaches, and pain. Massage therapy also works to improve physical symptoms, mproves coping, and enhances quality of life and well-being for patients undergoing cancer treatment.

Reiki for
Cancer Recovery

Reiki is a stress reduction and relaxation technique. The goal of Reiki treatments is to strengthen the flow of energy through blocked or disturbed pathways, thus decreasing pain and enhancing the body’s natural ability to fight illnesses and heal itself. For cancer patients, Reiki may be able to help reduce pain associated with the progression of the disease. It can also reduce some of the uncomfortable symptoms patients commonly experience during cancer treatment, such as anxiety, weakness, and nausea.
