Healing Therapy

Cancer and cancer treatment can cause all kinds of discomfort—from tension and stress to pain and nausea. Memorial Cancer Institute is on your side with a team of healing professionals and a variety of therapeutic techniques to help ease your discomfort.

Acupuncture

The ancient Chinese medicinal technique of applying needles, heat or pressure to certain places on the skin, acupuncture is often used to relieve nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Acupuncture has also been shown to help control cancer pain, according to the National Cancer Institute. Memorial Cancer Institute is pleased to offer acupuncture therapy as part of our patient support services. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether acupuncture is right for you. Please call Memorial Cancer Institute at 954-265-4325 or email us to schedule an appointment.

Massage

Therapeutic massage can reduce tension, help you relax and relieve pain—including joint pain that comes from immobility. Memorial Cancer Institute offers free, 10-minute chair massages to patients and their caregivers during chemotherapy or radiation treatments. You remain fully clothed during these massages, and no appointments are necessary.
