🧠 Acupuncture: A Lasting Boost for Cancer Survivors' Brain Health!

We often discuss acupuncture's role in managing side effects during cancer treatment, but did you know the cognitive benefits can be long-lasting?

A new study highlighted by Targeted Oncology shows that cancer survivors treated with acupuncture reported significant and sustained improvements in symptoms like:

- Foggy thinking

- Memory problems

- Difficulty concentrating (often called 'chemobrain')

These are common, frustrating issues that can persist long after treatment ends. Acupuncture offers a natural, non-pharmacological way to help clear the fog and regain mental sharpness.

Ready to experience clarity and lasting vitality?

Book your consultation today at Acurodos Clinic and see how specialized acupuncture can support your recovery and enhance your quality of life.

Did you know acupuncture could be a powerful solution in America's chronic pain crisis? A recent Penn LDI article highlights how this low-risk, non-addictive treatment is PROVEN effective for chronic pain conditions like back pain, osteoarthritis, and migraines. Yet, many patients can't access it due to insurance barriers and systemic challenges.

Those barriers don't exist in Ireland because all private insurances cover your acupuncture (VHI, Irish Life, Laya, HSF).

It's time to bridge the gap between evidence and access!

MIGRAINE ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND recommends Acupuncture for migraines!😮

I am pleased to announce that The Migraine Association of Ireland have now launched their updated website which now includes a really positive section on acupuncture.

Migraine is recognized as a major cause of disability, ranking as the second most disabling non-fatal medical condition worldwide and the fifth leading cause of disability in Ireland.

Migraines affect an estimated 12% to 16% of the general population in Ireland. This equates to between 500,000 and 750,000 individuals in the Republic of Ireland who suffer from the condition.

Migraines are approximately three times more common in women than in men, largely due to hormonal influences, primarily due to the significant influence of s*x hormones, particularly estrogen.

The condition also has a substantial economic burden, costing Irish businesses an estimated €252 million annually due to lost productivity.

It’s important to note that many people with migraines are not officially diagnosed or are not receiving appropriate treatment, which can lead to a significant impact on their personal, social, and professional lives.

Acupuncture has been used for centuries in China to treat Headaches/Migraine with impressive results. More recently modern research has been building to prove it’s safety & efficacy, and in 2016 two Cochrane Reviews (high level research) were published showing that it can be a useful therapy for Tension Headaches and in reducing the frequency of Migraines.
