A Holistic Approach to Comprehensive Cancer Management
Cancer is a complex and challenging disease that affects millions of people worldwide. While there are many traditional treatments available, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, these treatments often come with significant side effects and may not address the underlying causes of cancer.
At Fox Family DPC, we believe in taking a holistic approach to cancer management, focusing on not just treating the disease but also on supporting the overall health and well-being of our patients. Let’s explore the benefits of a holistic approach to cancer management and the services we offer at Fox Family DPC.
Understanding Cancer Management
Cancer management involves a range of treatments and strategies aimed at controlling the spread of cancer and improving the quality of life for patients. Traditional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, are often effective at killing cancer cells, but can also damage healthy cells and tissues in the process.
Cancer management encompasses a variety of treatment options and supportive care to address the disease and improve a patient's quality of life. The American Cancer Society offers a comprehensive resource on managing cancer.
The Benefits of a Holistic Approach
A holistic approach to cancer management takes into account the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health. This approach focuses on supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself and includes a variety of treatments and therapies aimed at improving overall well-being.
1. Integrative Cancer Therapies
Integrative cancer therapies combine traditional cancer treatments with complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and meditation. These therapies can help reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance the body's ability to heal.
2. Nutritional Support
Proper nutrition is essential for cancer patients, as it can help support the immune system and improve energy levels. A holistic approach to cancer management includes dietary counseling and nutritional supplements to ensure patients are getting the nutrients they need to heal. Here at Fox Family DPC we partner closely with a local Nutritionist, Leana, to guide care and support along the way.
3. Emotional Support
A cancer diagnosis can be emotionally challenging, and many patients experience feelings of fear, anxiety, and depression. Holistic cancer management includes counseling and support groups to help patients cope with the emotional aspects of cancer. Our team includes Licensed Counselor and Therapist, Michele Kielty, PhD., who has over 20 years of experience to help assist patients and families throughout their journey.
4. Pain Management
Pain is a common symptom of cancer and cancer treatments. Holistic pain management techniques, such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and relaxation techniques, can help reduce pain and improve quality of life for cancer patients.
