Children’s Integrated Oncology, also called Integrated Paediatric Cancer Care, is the study and treatment of cancer in children by a combination of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ methods. Cancer and related illnesses are always difficult, but they are particularly tragic for young patients and their families.
At Wellbeing Medical Group, we seek to use integrated medicine to support traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy techniques. These are areas where Western medicine truly excels, but these treatments still have substantial limitations, drawbacks and side effects.
Perhaps equally importantly, we seek to improve the wellbeing of the entire family, not just the patient. Parents, siblings and other family members can be equally devastated by a cancer diagnosis as the patient, and our holistic and psychological treatments seek to improve the mental and physical health of the entire family, improving the quality of life for all.
Is integrated medicine right for you? Quite possibly. Many of our patients feel that western medicine alone has failed them, or at least has not managed to address all of their problems. Other are satisfied with the primary effects western medicine, but are troubled by the side effects and other issues that come from a non-holistic approach to health.
