Brooklyn, Ny (PressExposure) December 16, 2010 -- Smoking cessation programs in New York City target those individuals addicted to smoking, and wish to get rid of this habit. Multi-specialty healthcare centers have the best doctors and staff to offer quality smoking cessation treatment.
Loss of appetite, stamina and shortness of breath are just some of the early warning signs that the body conveys to a regular or chain smoker. The good news is that there is still hope for those who are determined to nip the habit for good.
Auriculotherapy - Found to be Highly Effective
Auriculotherapy is a unique therapeutic treatment that has been in use for over 35 years; it has been found to be highly effective in stopping the body's craving for cigarette, cigar or pipe smoking altogether. The treatment works by stimulating the auricle of the external ear with very low intensity electrical energy. The concept behind the treatment is very simple. Electrical impulses stabilize the chemical imbalance by releasing endorphins and block the signals sent by the brain when the level of nicotine drops.
Patients prefer this treatment because it is non-invasive and least painful. Moreover, there are no withdrawal symptoms or side effects that can cause discomfort. The stimulation also helps relieve tension, increase blood circulation and relax the body.
Quick and Comfortable Treatment Program
Auriculotherapy has been approved by the FDA and widely accepted by the World Health Organization. This is because it is one of the very few smoking cessation treatments that not only reduces the addiction cycle of smoking but actually helps the person to quit.
Only in rare cases do patients require more than one session. Treatment and orientation takes only about an hour or less at popular health centers. Smoking cessation programs in New York City are carefully formulated according to the needs of each patient to ensure that the treatment doesn't fail.
