Acupuncture in Greeley | Breast Cancer & Acupuncture: What the Research Says
Breast cancer affects millions of women and families each year—and while medical treatment is essential, supportive care can make a profound difference. Acupuncture is increasingly recognized as a safe, effective way to ease side effects and improve quality of life during and after breast cancer treatment.
At Pins & Needles Acupuncture in Greeley, we’ve walked alongside patients through chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and recovery. We’ve seen firsthand how acupuncture can offer relief, comfort, and a sense of control in a time that often feels overwhelming.
What the Research Shows
Several studies have explored acupuncture’s role in breast cancer care. Here’s what the evidence tells us:
Hot Flashes & Hormonal Symptoms: Acupuncture has been shown to reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes in women undergoing hormone therapy or post-menopause.
Pain & Neuropathy: Research supports acupuncture’s ability to reduce joint pain and peripheral neuropathy caused by certain cancer medications.
Fatigue & Sleep: Acupuncture may improve sleep quality and reduce cancer-related fatigue, helping patients feel more rested and resilient.
Emotional Support: Studies suggest acupuncture can help regulate mood, reduce anxiety, and support emotional well-being during treatment.
These benefits are not just clinical—they’re deeply personal. Patients often describe acupuncture sessions as a moment of peace, a chance to reconnect with their bodies, and a gentle reminder that healing is possible.
