Mitigating the Side Effects of Cancer Treatment
with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine
Jade Integrated Health presents a two-part workshop series for those undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation to treat cancer. This workshop will explore the basics of acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas and nutrition as a supplemental therapy to ease adverse reactions to cancer treatment. Patients will gain a deeper understanding of diet, movement and other usable home techniques which can diminish treatment side effects. During this personalized workshop, attendees will also be given the opportunity to have their specific questions answered by experts in the field. This will be the ideal opportunity to receive feedback about supplemental treatments and instruction for therapeutic movement.
Genevieve Sprinkle L.Ac and James Constantine DAIM, L.Ac, acupuncturists and herbalists at Jade Integrated Health, will give insight into how acupuncture works, what they do and expectations of complementary care. This series is an expansion on their popular lecture series with the Dempsey Center. Pre-registration is required as there are limited tickets available. Join us for one session or both!
Session #1 on September 22nd: Supporting Digestion
The first session will focus on digestion and dietary information. Participants will receive easy to follow instruction and “to-go” samples. Genevieve and James will also lead demonstration on self massage techniques that promote healing and digestive health. Handouts for easy reference will be supplied to attendees.
Session #2 on October 13th: Peripheral Neuropathy
The second session will focus on the debilitating side effect of cancer induced peripheral neuropathy and movement.
