Auricular Therapy for Quitting Smoking in St. Louis, MO

Nearly seven out of ten smokers wish they could quit. If you’re one of those seven, you are to be congratulated. No matter what your reason for wanting to quit, stopping smoking is one of the smartest, most effective ways to improve your health and well-being.

At Mattingly Chiropractic, we know quitting on your own can be a nightmare both physically and emotionally. That’s why we offer auricular therapy in St. Louis, MO in the form of our Stop Smoking program—to help you quit smoking for good.

Escaping Nicotine Withdrawal with Auricular Therapy

The biggest hurdle to overcome in quitting smoking is the onset of nicotine withdrawal symptoms. If you’ve tried to quit before, you’ve likely experienced symptoms such as:

 Anxiety or jumpiness

 Low moods or sadness

 Trouble sleeping

 Anger

 Feeling grumpy, grouchy or irritable

 Increased hunger

 Weight gain

 Foggy thinking

 Poor concentration

And, of course, the big one: intense cravings for tobacco products. To help our patients break free from tobacco, we support them with our Stop Smoking program. This program utilizes auricular acupuncture to improve our patients’ rate of success.

Auricular Acupuncture in St Louis MO

The word “auricular” means “relating to the ear.” There are specific ear acupuncture points that help reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to quit smoking. Dr. Dusty treats these points with a low-level laser, also known as a “cold” laser, that mimics an auricular acupuncturist. This painless treatment stimulates these acupuncture points to ease withdrawal symptoms and help a person through the difficult first week or so. When withdrawal symptoms are mild or non-existent, it’s so much easier to begin a new, tobacco-free life.

Acupuncture for quitting smoking has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Dusty trained on this method of treatment so he could bring its benefits to patients struggling with quitting smoking. A cold laser can also be beneficial for patients suffering from pain related to injury, inflammation or neuropathy.

Dr. Dusty’s auricular acupuncture results have been so remarkable that some patients fly in from out of town to get his help while they quit smoking
