Each year, more and more studies show the benefits of Acupuncture and Chinese herbs in helping manage symptoms for patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Studies have shown that acupuncture has the ability to block pain signals, reduce inflammation, release healing chemicals in the brain, send messages through the nervous system, and increase blood circulation.
Dr. Vang has a passion for supporting patients diagnosed with cancer in their healing journey. He is a certified Oncology Acupuncturist who utilizes a significant amount of Chinese manual therapy and Chinese herbs to support patients with their lymphatic system, immune system and symptoms associated with conventional cancer treatments.
Naturopathic Oncology is a specialized field within naturopathic medicine that focuses on supporting cancer patients using natural and integrative therapies. It aims to enhance conventional cancer treatments (such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation) while minimizing side effects, improving quality of life, and supporting long-term health.

Oncology Acupuncturists are licensed Acupuncturists who receive specialized training in Oncology care. They are trained to build safe, effective treatment plans, diagnose early signs of cancer and improve patients’ quality of life. In addition, they learn Acupuncture points and protocols to reduce the side effects of conventional cancer care. Finally, they are trained to communicate effectively with patients and medical staff.
The risks of acupuncture are low when it is done by a licensed, experienced acupuncturist. The needles used in each treatment are sterile and single-use. In general, most patients who get acupuncture do not have problems during their treatment.
Common side effects may include soreness and minor bleeding or bruising where the needles were put in. Dr. Vang will go over your medical history and labs before each treatment to decide if acupuncture is right for you.
Dr. Vang will ask if you have:
Low white blood cell count
Low platelet count
Pacemakers or other implanted devices
Lymphedema (buildup of fluid under your skin)

“I had major surgery which left a lot of nerve damage to my left leg that restricted my range of motion. After one session with Dr. David Vang and through his acupuncture treatment, I had much better blood flow through my leg and my range of motion increased almost immediately. Thankful for this and the service he provided! I was struggling with restlessness all night and went a few weeks barely sleeping. I was recommended to Dr. David for acupuncture to help combat the restlessness. He gave me some herbs to take to help me sleep better. By the second night after my session, I was able to sleep straight through the night, and my sleep has been great since. I would highly recommend him.”
“Acupuncture has been a very important part of my life for several years. More than two of these years of better health was solely due to the expert care and concern I received from David Vang. He is the most caring Acupuncturist I have ever met. He not only addressed my concerns but let me know other issues acupuncture can remedy. I have told David how grateful I am as he has improved my health and outlook on non-invasive medical procedures. He is also very knowledgeable of all natural herbs that have helped with my health. Anyone wanting to learn about better health should contact David Vang.”
“Dr Vang is amazing! From start to finish he has always been polite, professional, thorough and gets right to the source of the issue that I am dealing with. The atmosphere is relaxing and I always leave feeling better than when I got there. After 30 plus years of lifting and competing in powerlifting I’ve put my body through the ringer but Dr. Vang is helping me to stay healthy!”
“Dr. Vang is the best! He’s very kind and personable at each visit. When I had COVID, I lost my sense of smell for 9 months. I went to Dr. Vang for acupuncture and I was able to smell again within a month! I left every session feeling relaxed and refreshed. It’s very peaceful at Restoration Center Chicago. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vang and his services!”
“Dr. Vang is fantastic. I would recommend him to everyone. Not only was he attentive and compassionate about my care, but he truly helped me. He took the time to understand what it was that I needed and then provided me with not only options, but fantastic care. As an acupuncturist, his technique was gentle, yet effective. I could literally feel my muscle tension melt away during treatment. This was what made me a believer, in terms of stress management. I gave Dr. Vang a try and do not regret it. My only wish is that I could see him more often, preferably every day!”
“After many years of praying and trying to figure out what to do with what God had spoken to me years earlier, I connected with Rachel Jumpa. Once she became my Life Coach, she helped me sort out my spiritual longings and gave me direction. Through her guidance, I developed a plan to write the book that Jesus wanted me to write for the past 20 years. Rachel inspires me by her walk with God and her honesty. With her counsel, my time spent with God and reading the Bible began to change, and my spiritual gifts accelerated. I consider Rachel a personal friend and a gift from God!”
Maryse G.
“My consultation sessions with Rachel have been truly powerful! Because of her intimacy with the Holy Spirit, she has been able to call out and help me grow in the identity and authority that God has given me. She has been an integral part of helping me to clarify my next steps in business ventures while adding prophetic “surprises” that solidified what I was hearing from God. I love how relatable she is, how she carries the Father’s heart for others and how her words are grounded in scripture. I can’t recommend her services enough! You will be blown away by what is produced.”
Sherrie B.
“I have been seeing Rachel for about two years and she has significantly changed my life. She has guided me in problem solving challenges I encounter in my life and finding solutions that fit with what I feel comfortable with. Rachel has not only helped me work through my current problems but has helped me build a “tool box” that I can use to face future difficulties. One significant change is that I didn’t drive before I started seeing her, never got my drivers license, within 8 months I had my license. She has been very encouraging and keeps me accountable for reaching personal goals we set together, she really motivates me.”
Liz F.
“Even after years of ministry and healthy soul work, Rachel helped me discern lies that I was still believing and thought patterns that were holding me back from being all that God created me to be. I was healthy, happy and content in many ways, but what Rachel helped me see is that there is ALWAYS more.”
Amy W.
“For such a time as this couldn’t be a more perfect phrase to describe my sessions with Rachel. The gift she carries brought clarity and hope during my season of transition, young mommyhood, wife, and ministry.”
Angel A.
“Rachel is one in a million! Her keen insight and wisdom proved invaluable at a crucial time in my life – both professionally and personally. In a word, priceless.”
Nancy B
“I’m from Belfast in Ireland and I met Rachel when she was here on a trip and I had an instant connection with her. When I later discovered she worked as coach, I contacted her regarding some online coaching, I had tried other face to face coaches in the past and I never felt connected with them so I was hoping we could arrange something online. I was delighted that Rachel was able to accommodate me. I worked with her every week during a difficult and transitional time and she gave me tools to navigate the season and helped me explore all the parts of me that were lost or hidden. I am now walking in the things that were only dreams at one stage, including playing the guitar! I look forward to working with Rachel again in the future.”
Toni M.
“I had a wonderful experience. Ivory made sure I was well prepared and made me feel completely comfortable. Each step of the process was very intentional and specific to me. I came in with no expectations and I personally would do it again. I would recommend anyone who is seeking peace or revelation to go through a session. I had a sweet encounter with the Lord as Ivory prayed over me. The Lord gave me such peace over a situation from a few years ago. I believe that moment brought upon healing over a wound that I had completely forgotten about. I was encouraged throughout the session by the words that were being spoken over me by God. Not only was it healing, but also refreshing in my walk with King Jesus.”
“Ivory swept away something on my left shoulder. The left shoulder is where a gray cloud left my mind. I think it was not from God and during the prayer it disappeared as she swept it off my shoulder.”
“Ivory’s hands were very warm as she touched and prayed over my throat, eyes, head, ears, stomach, knees and feet. I felt the presence of the Lord restoring each body part as we prayed. My session was powerful because Ivory followed the Lord’s prompting and helped me release shame and guilt.”
“I honestly did not know what to expect as I came into the session. I knew that the Lord was going to do something special. Overall it was a powerful experience and I left the session humbled and grateful.”
