We offer the following integrative therapies:

- Nutrition Education Classes
- Reiki
- Acupuncture/Acupressure

Benefits of Integrative Therapies
Integrative care is also known by other names, including complementary medicine, alternative medicine, complementary healing and adjunctive care.
These therapies have been proven in clinical research to be safe and effective for:
- Improving postoperative wound healing
- Promoting deep relaxation to boost the body's own power to heal
- Reducing the need for pain medication
- Reducing symptoms resulting from chemotherapy and radiation therapy
- Decreasing stress
- Improving clinical outcomes
Our staff consists of experienced, oncology-trained, certified and licensed practitioners, trained in safe, evidence-based complementary care practices but who also have thorough knowledge of conventional cancer treatment. This team works in collaboration with BCH physicians and other members of the health care team to obtain the best outcome for each individual.
