Program areas at Karuna Precision Wellness
Physical health - through exercise, acupuncture, and massage, Karuna Precision Wellness Center addresses physical health. Karuna Precision Wellness Center provides individualized prescription exercise as part of the recovery from Cancer treatment-related symptoms. Studies have demonstrated exercise to be an effective treatment for neuropathy, a common side effect of Cancer treatment. Recent advances in acupuncture clinical research suggest that acupuncture may provide clinical benefit for Cancer patients with treatment-related side effects such as nausea and vomiting, post-operative pain, Cancer related pain, chemotherapy-induced leukopenia, post-chemotherapy fatigue, xerostomia, and possibly insomnia, anxiety, and quality of life. Massage also helps improve mood and quality of life. A diagnosis of Cancer often increases anxiety, and depression. Anxiety over the possibility of recurrence is also common. Regular massage can reduce anxiety and help create a prolonged sense of well-being, improving a client's overall mood.
Nutrition - at the initial consult, goals, health history, current health status, lifestyle, and diet, tastes and preferences are explored. With this information, a unique nutrition and Wellness plan is created for an individualized plan toward Wellness.
Mental health - depression, anxiety, and stress can increase your risk of physical illness by increasing levels of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Depression can also affect the immune system, making it harder for your body to fight infection. We address mental health following the diagnosis and treatment of Cancer.
