Can i have acupuncture after mastectomy?

Yes: Of course you can. But what is the reason for doing it?

Yes: Yes you can. Go to a provider that you trust. Some acupuncturists may be reluctant to treat you if you had lymph nodes removed with your mastectomy, but this should cause no problems if sterile technique is used.

Certainly.: Yes. This is not a contra-indication. If your mastectomy or conditions associated with it have been traumatic 7 dragons may be beneficial. If you need to be centered - 5 gates or kaufman's cocktail may help. Acupuncture can also help to expedite wound healing - discuss this with your surgeon. Take care.
