theconnectionsnj.com HEALTH & WELLNESS PAGE 43 If you have ever been told ‘you have cancer’, you know how quickly those three little words can change your life. One moment you are ne and the next you are in survival mode. We are here to help you Reclaim Your Life After Cancer. Whether you have recently been diagnosed or have been a survivor for several years, our holistic wellness programs can help you get stronger and support you with your long-term health and wellness. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation have side effects that can be debilitating for many patients. Those effects generally leave one feeling frail and weak. And because of this, being afraid to exercise after these treatments is quite common. It is well advised that cancer survivors start exercising under the expert supervision of clinicians who understand their speci c limitations related to their cancer treatment and who can safely progress them. Physical therapy will help improve muscle strength, mobility, balance and breathing to help you return to activities that you enjoy safely. Exercise will not only help regain your strength and endurance; it is also helpful in tempering stress. Whether you are currently ghting cancer or ghting to stay in remission, there will likely be times where you may feel stressed and overwhelmed. Learning stress reduction techniques can be helpful in getting you through a dif cult procedure or to help you de-stress and relax at the end of the day for a more peaceful sleep. Biofeedback therapy not only helps with stress management, by teaching ways to change your body’s response to stress, it is also an effective and drug-free way to help manage pain. Our holistic approach and drug-free services such as acupuncture and chiropractic care are provided to help you experience fewer headaches, less pain, better mobility, and more energy. Nutrition plays a huge role in healing, recovery and regaining strength. Unfortunately, many times it is met with much confusion and uncertainty by the patient. Learning better eating habits, particularly to reduce in ammation and toxic burden, will be bene cial to improving your recovery and provides lifelong bene ts. Some secondary side effects to cancer and its treatment include signi cant fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle tightness, joint stiffness and pain. Muscle tightness, joint stiffness and scar tissue after surgery can impact your ability to breathe correctly which in turn decreases the oxygen going into your tissues including your brain. This alone can be one cause of fatigue. At times there is scar tissue that forms at sites where radiation was performed. This can cause an inability to move your limbs and perform your daily activities. With pelvic and abdominal surgery, as well as chemotherapy and radiation, the abdominal and pelvic oor can become dysfunctional, creating disabling incontinence, urgency, and pain. Natural Medicine & Rehabilitation is uniquely equipped to address all aspects of reclaiming your health after cancer in a functional and holistic approach. Our teams of highly trained clinicians work seamlessly together for the bene t of the patient’s longterm wellness.
