About

For oncology-trained acupuncture in Encinitas, Annie Boyd, Licensed Acupuncturist brings clinical experience treating chemotherapy and radiation side effects developed at UCSD Moore's Cancer Center to a practice on North El Camino Real. The clinic's capacity to manage treatment side effects during complex medical protocols extends to patients undergoing intensive assisted-reproduction cycles, a caseload that intersects with the fertility services coordinated through California Center For Reproductive Medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostics guide each session, with pulse and tongue assessment determining point prescriptions tailored to the patient's current treatment phase and symptom profile. Oncology-focused acupuncture addresses chemotherapy-induced nausea, neuropathy, fatigue, and immune suppression through specific point combinations along the Stomach, Spleen, and Kidney meridians. The psychoemotional dimension of cancer treatment connects the clinic's Shen-calming acupuncture protocols to the broader mental health support network, including the psychiatric care available at Alison Trexler, Psychiatrist in Encinitas. Treatment protocols for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy target the Baxie and Bafeng extra points in the hands and feet alongside distal needling of the Large Intestine and Liver channels.
