Natural support for people with cancer and the whole family
Hillgreen Oncology Acupuncture & Herbs provides Traditional Chinese Medicine and related health services, with a special focus on supporting people through cancer treatment and recovery. We also treat non-cancer patients with various health conditions. With our exceptionally-trained staff, we often treat complex conditions that cannot be handled by the average acupuncture clinic. Our approach includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, acupressure, massage, cupping, moxibustion, mindfulness, and more.
With two locations in the Greater Toronto area and one in Northumberland County, we provide high-quality, affordable, wheelchair-accessible, trauma-informed and 2SLGBTQ+ positive services.
