Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves putting fine needles into the body at particular points. The needles stay in place for a short time. The practitioner then removes it. There is evidence that acupuncture may help with some symptoms and side effects of cancer and its treatment. For more information please email info@arccancersupport.ie or call 01 215 0250.
Manual Lymph Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage is a type of massage that can encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. It relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system.
