Although we wish that chiropractic care could actually cure cancer, it can help with secondary conditions that cancer treatments can cause. Together with acupuncture and massage, Chiropractic Healing Center can help you deal with issues that arise from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Cancer therapies are known to cause increased stress on the neuromusculoskeletal system, and that stress can cause conditions like:
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Muscle tension
- Sciatica
- Nausea
- Fatigue
Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate these symptoms by improving blood flow and function in the nervous system. By doing this, your body is naturally empowered to improve healing as well as have better flexibility, mobility, strength and function.
If your oncologist has determined that your body is safely able to undergo chiropractic treatments, we can help with your symptoms by using:
- Ice
- Heat
- Spinal manipulations
- Massage
- Stretching
- Traction
- Electrical stimulation
- Nutritional counseling
Not all patients undergoing cancer treatment are candidates for chiropractic care, including those with bone metathesis or low platelet counts. That’s why we are happy to coordinate with your physician during your treatment to make sure chiropractic care will be beneficial to your recovery.
At Chiropractic Healing Center, we not only offer traditional chiropractic care but also other natural healing therapies like massage and acupuncture. Our team of licensed professionals will work together to help you feel better while your body is battling against cancer.
