Acupuncture may be used for the side effects of conventional cancer treatment and for some of the symptoms of cancer, but it is not used to address the cancer itself.
Practitioner
Derek Climpson has worked at a London hospice since 2010 using Acupuncture to treat outpatients who are cancer survivors and inpatients who are receiving palliative care.
Examples of What People Say
Breast Cancer survivor recommended by her local hospice
As a recovering cancer sufferer, it was recommended to me that I have (traditional) acupuncture to help with my rehabilitation. The treatment I received from Derek has been of the highest quality and has definitely helped with my recovery. This also included successful acupuncture treatment on my lower back, knee, thumb, arm and shoulder.

Colon Cancer – Chemotherapy
Half way through a course of NHS chemotherapy for colon cancer, I was experiencing numbness and tingling in my hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy), fatigue and low mood.
I decided to try traditional acupuncture with Derek Climpson. The acupuncture has greatly improved my symptoms and helped me regain a feeling of control and wellbeing.
