"Breast Health at The Berkley Center for Women's Health

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can help open the flow of qi and blood in the chest and breast area,  increasing circulation and helping to alleviate common ailments of the breast.   Western medicine has little to offer in the treatment of such conditions, which are often benign in nature but can still  result in severe discomfort.   Acupuncture and Herbs can help to effectively reduce, possibly even eliminate, benign breast pain and tenderness in a natural and holistic way.  At the Berkley Center we work with some of New York City's leading breast health specialists to ensure that the symptoms you feel do not mean something more serious that requires medical treatment.  Such conditions include:

• Breast Pain or Tenderness
• Fibrocystic/Fibroadenoma Discomfort
• Swollen Breasts, often related with the menstrual cycle
• Insufficient Lactation or Lactation Cessation

In addition, we offer complimentary care to breast cancer patients and breast cancer survivors at various stages in their western treatment plans.  We work with your primary care providers to give you a holistic treatment plan throughout your entire journey:

• Alleviating side-effects from Chemo & Radiation Therapy (such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, headaches, hot flashes, and others)
• Addressing the mind-body connection, calming anxiety and stress reduction throughout the physical and emotional challenges that arise once diagnosed with Breast Cancer
• Follow-up care to help prevent recurrence, and to promote optimum breast and whole-body health.
