Integrative cancer care to complement conventional treatment

Many people living with cancer look to supplement their conventional treatments with some sort of complementary therapy. This is because complementary therapies can distinctively improve a patient’s quality of life by not only decreasing toxicity and side effects from conventional treatments, but also boosting the immune system and stimulating the body’s inherent healing capacity. At NCIM, our practitioners are committed to collaborating with our patient’s family doctors, oncologists, and surgeons to develop integrative programs for patients that help maintain physical and mental wellness during and after cancer treatment.

Some of our integrative cancer care services include:

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is based on the philosophies of treating the underlying source, or root, of the body’s disease and supporting the body’s inherent power to heal itself. Common practices in Naturopathic Medicine include homeopathy, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, and science-based diet and lifestyle planning. When you visit our clinic, one of our Naturopathic Doctors will work one-on-one with you to create a personalized wellness plan based on your structural, physiological, psychological, spiritual, social, and lifestyle needs.

Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine

Traditional Oriental Medicine (TOM), also referred to as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a broad set of medical practices based on over 2,500 years of ancient Chinese tradition. In modern times, Traditional Oriental Medicine has been adopted and regulated in many countries worldwide. Some common TOM practices include medical acupuncture, massage, botanical medicine, lifestyle guidance, and diet and exercise regimens.
