Acupuncture to Support Cancer Care in Brighton & Hove
Living with cancer or undergoing treatment can feel overwhelming. Many people look for safe, supportive ways to ease side effects and improve their quality of life. At my Brighton & Hove acupuncture clinic, I offer gentle treatments that work alongside your medical care, helping you feel calmer, more comfortable, and more in control.
A Safe, Gentle Option for Cancer-Related Side Effects
Acupuncture is not a treatment for cancer itself, but research shows it can help manage common side effects such as:
-
Nausea and vomiting (especially during chemotherapy)
-
Peripheral neuropathy (numbness or tingling in hands and feet)
-
Pain, including aromatase-inhibitor–related joint pain
-
Hot flushes and night sweats
-
Fatigue and insomnia
-
Stress and emotional wellbeing
What the Research Says About Acupuncture & Cancer Support
Clinical studies and international guidelines now recognise acupuncture as a safe and effective option for supportive cancer care. For example:
-
The Society for Integrative Oncology recommends acupuncture for pain and aromatase-inhibitor–related joint pain.
-
Reviews show acupuncture and acupressure can reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
-
Evidence suggests benefits for fatigue, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing.
How I Work With You at My Brighton & Hove Clinic
I create a calm, nurturing space where you can relax, de-stress, and let go. Treatments are always tailored to your needs and carried out with great care. Safety is my priority — I adapt needling techniques and follow oncology guidelines, especially if you have had surgery, radiotherapy, or are at risk of lymphoedema.
Alongside acupuncture, I may also offer reflexology for additional relaxation, and I can teach you simple acupressure points to use at home between sessions.
