Public lecture ZIO Glarus / Tuesday, March 26:
Acupuncture during cancer treatment

Acupuncture / Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
|
|
|
Improving quality of life through 2000 years of empirical medicine from the Far East
As part of holistic cancer treatment, acupuncture / TCM is a complementary and effective form of therapy. It can make conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, with all their accompanying symptoms and side effects, more tolerable. The focus is on the quality of life of the affected patients, which should be maintained, stabilized or improved wherever possible. In TCM, illness or discomfort is seen as an imbalance of energy in the body that needs to be balanced. Symptoms such as tiredness, pain, loss of appetite or sleep disorders can be treated with appropriate needling techniques.

Palliative care
|
|
|
|
Palliative care is an internationally recognized, comprehensive concept for advising, supporting and caring for people of all ages with serious or life-threatening illnesses. Its aim is to improve quality of life and alleviate symptoms. Palliative care takes a holistic approach and attempts to bring together the skills of the treating doctors, therapists, nurses and social workers.
|
"Palliative care is an approach to improving the quality of life of patients and their families who are confronted with problems associated with a life-threatening illness. This is done through the prevention and alleviation of suffering, early detection, careful assessment and treatment of pain and other physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems."

New: Social counseling and biography work at the ZIO
|
|
|
The ZIO's services are designed to support patients and their relatives and make their lives easier. The ZIO now offers even more support: social counseling and various biography work services are now available. These focus on the respective life situation and development of those affected and can be adapted to the different needs and possibilities of the clients. Social counseling is intended to help avoid precarious life situations due to cancer. The various offers in biography work help to develop a way of dealing with the current life situation as well as scope for action and to (re)find the "red thread of life".
