As a chiropractor, working with an acupuncturist is all about learning new things. Like you, I am often completely unaware of what acupuncture can and can't do. When talking with Dr. Joanie I was completely amazed to learn that acupuncture is a really effective way to stop smoking. Sure you can try medication and nicotine replacements but, why not try a drug free way. Those trying to quit smoking often experience a lot of symptoms like; sleep disturbances, weight gain, increased appetite, irritability, headaches, difficulty concentrating, the list goes on. Acupuncture can help with all of these symptoms.  Acupuncture in combination with Chinese medicine (Dr. Joanie's specialty) can help control your cravings and more over diminish your withdrawal symptoms.  So if your interested in learning more about how to quit call the office an make an appointment with Dr. Joanie.
