From blood pressure to cancer-related fatigue — evidence-based TCM for conditions that conventional medicine manages but does not always resolve.
Some of the most meaningful clinical work we do at AcuRodos falls into this category — supporting patients through cancer treatment, managing blood pressure, or helping people finally recover their energy after months or years of chronic fatigue. These are conditions where TCM's whole-body, root-cause approach makes a genuine difference.
For cancer support, acupuncture stimulates endorphin and serotonin release to manage pain and nausea, while regulating the immune and inflammatory responses dysregulated by chemotherapy. For hypertension, needling specific points activates the vagal pathway and reduces sympathetic tone. For fatigue conditions, acupuncture addresses the Kidney Qi and Jing deficiency that underlies most chronic energy depletion in TCM.
Cancer support (ASCO 2022 + Cleveland Clinic 2026) — ASCO and Society for Integrative Oncology joint guidelines recommend acupuncture for cancer pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea and cancer-related fatigue.
Hypertension — A 2020 Cochrane Review and multiple subsequent RCTs confirm acupuncture produces clinically meaningful reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure as an adjunct to standard care.
Chronic fatigue — Systematic reviews confirm acupuncture improves fatigue scores in CFS/ME, Long Covid and cancer-related fatigue.
We use the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Fatigue (FACT-F) for cancer patients, the Chalder Fatigue Scale for CFS/Long Covid, and standard blood pressure monitoring for hypertension patients.
