Are you trying to quit smoking? Are you having trouble sticking with it? Do you need help staying motivated? Well look no further. Dr. Michelle Marcoux is offering a unique Smoking Cessation Acupuncture Support Program at True Potential Health Services for the New Year.
How will acupuncture help me stop smoking?
The acupuncture points that will be used to help you stop smoking are well researched and have been shown to increase the odds of quitting when combined with other smoking cessation aids such as education, support, nicotine gum, patches, etc. The goal of the acupuncture treatments is to help reduce cravings and increase your overall sense of well-being during the withdrawal period.
How will the program work?
Once weekly for 4 weeks you will receive a half hour acupuncture treatment. You will relax in a luxurious reclining chair in a small, quiet group environment. Dr. Marcoux will insert approximately 10 needles into various acupuncture points located in your hands, wrists, and head. Dr. Marcoux will also use small seeds to do some acupuncture in your ears. Acupuncture needles are very fine and produce very little pain sensation. The ear seeds are attached with a small sticker and are pressed on to the ear without breaking the skin. You will relax with the needles in for about 30 minutes. Dr. Marcoux will check in on you periodically to see how you’re doing. The ear seeds will stay on your ears so that you can press on them anytime you have a craving throughout the week.
The first visit will include a 10 minute check in so that Dr. Marcoux can review your treatment goals and provide some take home materials. An additional 10 minute follow up is provided at the completion of the program so that you can discuss your progress and determine your next step.
When does it start?
Dr. Marcoux is available on Saturday mornings for the stop smoking program. The four acupuncture sessions begin on Saturday January 23, and will continue weekly, ending on February 13th. Appointments start at 9:00am and will last approximately 45 minutes.
How much does it cost?
Regular acupuncture sessions at True Potential Health Services are $90.00 per 45 minute session. This package is being offered at $180 for 4 weekly acupuncture sessions. That’s a 50% discount!
