What it is
Supportive care, guided by Dr. Tsai
Cancer treatment takes a real toll on the body - fatigue, nausea, neuropathy, sleep disturbance, appetite loss and emotional strain are common. Acupuncture is used as a complementary therapy to help ease these side effects and support quality of life before, during and after treatment.
Dr. Tsai works within, not around, your oncology team's plan. Acupuncture is never presented here as a treatment for cancer itself - it is supportive care for the person going through treatment.

How we approach cancer-related symptoms
Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery can bring fatigue, nausea, neuropathy, sleep disturbance, hormonal changes and emotional distress. These side effects are real and often affect quality of life as much as the disease itself.
Acupuncture does not treat cancer. It is used here strictly as complementary, supportive care - helping the body and mind cope with the demands of conventional treatment, always alongside your oncology team's guidance.
How treatment helps
Acupuncture is used only as a complement to your oncologist's treatment plan - never as a substitute for it.
- May help ease treatment-related fatigue
- May help reduce nausea and support appetite
- Supports comfort with treatment-related neuropathy
- Supports more restful sleep during treatment
- Helps calm stress and emotional strain during a difficult time

Does acupuncture treat or cure cancer?
No. Acupuncture is not a treatment for cancer and should never be used in place of the care recommended by your oncologist. It is used here strictly as complementary, supportive care for the side effects of conventional cancer treatment.
Is acupuncture safe during chemotherapy or radiation?
Acupuncture can often be safely used alongside chemotherapy or radiation when performed by an experienced practitioner and coordinated with your oncology team. Dr. Tsai will ask about your treatment schedule, blood counts and any precautions your oncologist has given before beginning.
Can acupuncture help with cancer-related pain or fatigue?
Many patients use acupuncture as complementary support for treatment-related fatigue, discomfort and low energy. Results vary by person, and acupuncture works alongside - not instead of - the pain and symptom management your oncology team provides.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your treatment stage and symptoms. Some patients notice easier days after a few sessions, while others use ongoing sessions timed around their treatment cycle. Dr. Tsai will discuss a realistic plan at your consultation.
Will acupuncture interfere with my medications or cancer treatment?
Acupuncture is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy and is not known to interfere with standard cancer treatments when properly coordinated. We will always ask about your current treatment and any concerns your oncology team has, and we encourage you to keep your care team informed.
Can acupuncture help with the emotional side of a cancer diagnosis?
Many patients find the calm, focused time of an acupuncture session helpful for stress and emotional strain during treatment. It is a complement to, not a substitute for, any counseling or mental health support recommended by your care team.
