Yong Kang Clinic is delighted to offer free acupuncture treatments to cancer patients currently undergoing traditional Western treatment. Read on for the details:
Why:
Because there are not enough options for people in the St Louis area who are enduring the debilitating side effects of cancer treatments.
Because acupuncture helps with the nausea, fatigue, headache and malaise that comes with chemotherapy and radiation.
Because insurance companies here (unlike in some coastal cities) do not cover acupuncture.
Because I’ve heard from too many patients, or their loved ones, that acupuncture is what helped to make life more bearable in unbearable times.
Because I’m deeply frustrated that highly esteemed cancer centers here do not make better use of complementary healing methods such as acupuncture, which has a track record of safety and effectiveness.
Most importantly, we are doing this because it can make a positive difference in difficult times.

Yong Kang Chinese Medicine Clinic, 103 North Taylor, Suite B, in Kirkwood.
