Acupuncture for Cancer Support

Hi, I’m Dr. Amie Shimmel-Handa. As someone who has personally faced cancer, I understand the physical pain, emotional stress, and uncertainty that come with a diagnosis.

With over 37 years of experience as an Acupuncturist and Chiropractic Physician, my goal is to help patients restore balance, harmony, and vitality—supporting healing on every level: body, mind, and spirit.

How Acupuncture Can Help

According to the National Cancer Institute and Integrative Oncology Research, Acupuncture can safely and effectively ease many side effects of cancer and its treatments, including:

  • Nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy
  • Pain and inflammation
  • Peripheral neuropathy (numbness, tingling, or burning)
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Anxiety, stress, and depression
  • Dry mouth after radiation
  • Hot flashes from hormone therapy

Acupuncture is a gentle yet powerful way to support the body’s natural healing process—helping you feel calmer, stronger, and more in balance.

Because healing isn’t just about fighting disease—it’s about restoring wholeness and vitality.
