Complementary Alternative Medicine Therapies

CTCA also provides evidence-based complementary therapies to ease the side effects of conventional therapies and help patients continue with their treatment regime with fewer interruptions. This results in an enhanced quality of life throughout treatment.

Nutrition Therapy

Dietitians provide personal meal plans, menus and recipes, vitamin and mineral supplementation and nutritional support. Dietitians work with oncologists to keep patients nourished, prevent malnutrition, rebuild body tissue, support immune function and enhance overall well-being.

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopaths assist physicians to provide clinical nutrition, botanical medicine (e.g., herbs, minerals, vitamins), homeopathy, hydrotherapy, classical Chinese medicine (e.g., acupressure) and manipulative therapy.
Naturopaths work with oncologists to provide safe, natural therapies—alongside conventional treatments—to help support normal metabolism, boost the immune system and alleviate treatment-related side effects, such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea and fatigue.

Mind-Body Medicine (Psychoneuroimmunology)

Mind-body therapists provide individual, group and family counseling, support groups, stress management techniques, relaxation and guided imagery training, laughter/humor therapy, cognitive reframing and energy therapies.
Mind-body therapists work with other clinicians to help patients cope with the emotional effects of cancer as well as treatment-related side effects, such as nausea, difficulty sleeping, energy loss, depression, stress and muscle tension.

Survivor Support Services

Specialists help patients hope with the emotional and physical effects of cancer treatment after their primary treatment concludes

Pain Management

Pain specialists provide pharmacological pain control, behavioral techniques, neurological and neurosurgical interventions and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS).
Pain specialists collaborate with surgeons and radiologists to find appropriate pain control methods to help improve patients’ eating, sleeping, activity, mood, concentration and overall quality of life.

Oncology Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation therapists provide physical therapies, occupational therapies, speech and language pathology, lymphedema prevention and treatment, auriculotherapy and manual therapies.
Rehabilitation therapists help patients build strength and endurance, improve mobility, balance, coordination and cognition, and reduce treatment-related side effects, such as nausea, dry mouth, hiccups, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, dizziness and fatigue.

Spiritual Support

Chaplains work within patients’ belief systems to provide individual and group prayer, family consultations, weekly interfaith worship and communion services, crisis intervention, patient rights issues, 24/7 on-call visitation, prayer and counseling.
Chaplains strive to nurture patients’ spiritual well-being to help carry them through difficult times, reduce stress, anxiety and depression, and provide patients with a source of peace, purpose and comfort.
