Oncology teams often prescribe chiropractic care as a complementary modality to help manage the physical and emotional side effects of cancer and its treatments. Chiropractic Care helps support cancer treatment by providing a range of significant benefits such as:

Pain Management
Chiropractic care can help reduce musculoskeletal pain, which is common among cancer patients, especially those with metastatic disease. Techniques like spinal adjustments can alleviate pressure points and reduce pain.

Improved Mobility and Strength
Cancer treatments can lead to decreased mobility and muscle strength. Chiropractic care, through targeted exercises and therapies, can help maintain or improve physical function, enabling patients to remain active and independent.

Alleviation of Treatment Side Effects
Some side effects of cancer treatment, such as neuropathy and joint stiffness, can be effectively managed with chiropractic care, improving patient comfort and overall well-being.

Enhanced Immune Function
Chiropractic care can support the immune system, which is crucial for cancer patients undergoing treatment.

Better Sleep and Stress Relief
Chiropractic treatments can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality, contributing to overall well-being.

Nervous System Support
The nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating immune function. Chiropractic care focuses on spinal health, which can enhance the communication between the nervous system and the rest of the body. Improved spinal alignment can lead to better nervous system function, thereby supporting immune health.

Enhanced Circulation
Chiropractic treatments can improve blood flow and circulation. Better circulation helps your immune system respond more effectively to threats.

Immune Modulation
Studies have shown that chiropractic care can influence levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), a key antibody in the immune system. Higher levels of IgA can enhance your body's ability to fight infections.

Get Help
Chiropractic care can be a transformative component of your comprehensive treatment plan. As with many complementary therapies, it works best when integrated into a holistic approach designed to enhance your overall wellness and optimize treatment outcomes.

Every patient's situation is unique, requiring thorough diagnosis and open communication with your entire healthcare team. It's important to note that chiropractic care may not be suitable for everyone such as patients with low platelet counts or bone metastasis. Always share your complete medical history and discuss all health concerns with your provider before beginning any treatment.
