Integrative Care

Aviva Cancer Centre recognizes that cancer treatment can be physically and emotionally challenging, and that patients may benefit from complementary therapies to support their overall well-being. That's why the centre offers a range of integrative care services to complement conventional cancer treatment and improve the quality of life for cancer patients.

The integrative care services at Aviva Cancer Centre include:

​

1. Nutrition Therapy

The centre has a team of experienced dietitians who can provide personalized nutrition advice and support to help patients maintain a healthy diet during cancer treatment. They also offer nutritional supplements to address any deficiencies and improve immune function.

​

2. Mind-Body Therapy

The centre offers various mind-body therapies, such as yoga, meditation, and relaxation techniques, to help patients manage stress, anxiety, and depression. These therapies can also improve sleep quality, reduce pain and fatigue, and enhance overall well-being.

 

3. Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body's natural healing process. This therapy helps to manage cancer-related symptoms, such as pain, nausea, and fatigue.

 

4. Exercise Therapy

The centre has a team of certified physiotherapists who can develop personalized exercise programs to help patients maintain physical function and reduce the risk of treatment-related side effects, such as muscle weakness and fatigue.​
