Acupuncture for Cancer Care in Catonsville, MD — Relief from Chemo Side Effects, Pain & Fatigue
Cancer is one of the hardest battles you’ll ever face.
But often, it’s not just the disease itself that’s overwhelming — it’s the relentless side effects of treatment.
​
Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can save lives, but they often leave patients struggling with nausea, pain, fatigue, digestive problems, and emotional distress.
For many, medications meant to help either don’t work well enough — or cause their own unpleasant side effects.
​
At Sanare Acupuncture in Catonsville, Maryland, we specialize in helping cancer patients manage these challenges so they can stay strong through treatment and focus on healing.
Why Acupuncture Matters
During Cancer Treatment
Acupuncture is not a replacement for cancer treatment — it’s a way to help you feel well enough to complete your treatment plan.
​
This centuries-old therapy works by stimulating specific points on the body to:
​
-
Reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting
-
Ease cancer-related pain without adding more medication
-
Boost energy and reduce fatigue
-
Support immune function
-
Improve emotional well-being
By supporting your whole body, acupuncture helps you handle cancer treatment with greater comfort and resilience.
Common Cancer Treatment Side Effects We Help With
Nausea and Vomiting Relief
Chemotherapy-induced nausea can make it hard to eat or drink. Acupuncture has been shown in research to reduce nausea and vomiting without adding more side effects.
Patients often say:
“I can finally eat without gagging.”
Pain Management Without More Pills
Neuropathy from chemo, surgical pain, and tumor pressure can be exhausting. Acupuncture triggers your body’s natural pain-control systems, helping reduce discomfort without additional medication.
​
“The burning in my hands and feet stopped.”
Fatigue Recovery and Energy Restoration
Cancer fatigue is not just “being tired.” Acupuncture helps restore energy by balancing your nervous system and improving circulation. Many patients find they can participate in more daily activities again.
Neuropathy and Nerve Pain Relief
Tingling, numbness, and burning sensations from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy are common. Acupuncture improves blood flow to nerves, reduces inflammation, and supports nerve recovery.
Digestive Support During Chemo
Chemo often causes diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and stomach pain. Acupuncture helps regulate digestion, reduce inflammation, and improve nutrient absorption so you can stay nourished.
Emotional and Mental Wellness Support
Cancer impacts mental health just as much as physical health. Acupuncture calms the nervous system, reduces stress hormones, and promotes better sleep — helping you face treatment with greater emotional balance.
How Acupuncture Works for
Cancer Patients
Acupuncture stimulates points that:
​
-
Trigger endorphin release for natural pain relief
-
Regulate neurotransmitters involved in mood and nausea control
-
Improve blood flow to tissues and organs
-
Support immune system strength
-
Reduce inflammation throughout the body
This holistic approach means we’re not just masking symptoms — we’re helping your body recover and cope better during treatment.
