Integrative Medicine Services

Acupuncture, provided here by David Vavrinchik, LAc, is one of the many services offered through NorthShore's Integrative Medicine Program.

The Evanston and Highland Park Hospital Kellogg Cancer Centers and The Integrative Medicine Program have collaborated to offer the following integrative medicine services to patients during their visit.

Q: Who will benefit?
A: Acupuncture and integrative bodywork fit safely and effectively with conventional cancer care in primarily reducing fatique, nausea, pain, weight loss and neuropathy.  These therapies may also help reduce stress and anxiety. Interested patients should check with their oncologist or nurse to discuss whether this is an appropriate treatment option while at Kellogg.

Q: Where are the treatments performed?
A: Treatments are performed in a tranquil, private room at Kellogg on a massage table or in a chair, depending on what is most appropriate for the patient

"The acupuncture and bodywork therapies that I received through the NorthShore Integrative Medicine program provided my mind and body with some reprieve from the assault of chemotherapy.  It was a brief time to feel normal.  I encourage you to give it a try!"
