Someone in the last class had asked about lymphadema post mastectomy. Here is Dr. Ma’s response:
After breast mastectomy, patients have swelling around the surgical cuts and axillary pit area even the whole arm, dry needling is very effective. Use hafl-inch needles around the cut on the chest area,
use 1 inch needles in axillary pit and arm area, two sessions a week. Even patients are having radiation or chemotherapy, needles really help. See 1997 NIH Pannel on acupuncture that proved needling helps
cancer patients with Radiation and chemo therapy. Be careful when needling the chest area about the pneumothorax.
