Progressive Chiropractic Assists New Year's Resolutions with Smoking Cessation Acupuncture

With the beginning of a new year, many people make resolutions to lose weight, get in shape, stick to a budget, and quit smoking.

Chicago, IL (prHWY.com) January 24, 2012 - With the beginning of a new year, many people make resolutions to lose weight, get in shape, stick to a budget, and quit smoking. Progressive Chiropractic Wellness Center in Chicago understands the difficulty that these resolutions can present and is committed to assisting those who are trying to quit smoking with smoking cessation acupuncture.

According to Dr Richard Ezgur, founder and director of Progressive Chiropractic Wellness Center and licensed chiropractic physician, acupuncturist, and homeopath, acupuncture significantly reduces cigarette cravings by 50-80% in people who have made the decision to quit. Dr Ezgur adds that there is a difference between someone who is trying to quit and someone who has decided to quit. When someone has made the decision to quit, Progressive Chiropractic can help to develop a strategy for quitting that incorporates acupuncture stimulation.

Health care professionals all agree that avoiding or eliminating smoking triggers is essential to the successful cessation of smoking. The Wellness Center works with patients to help them identify triggers such as certain times of day, activities, environments and situations, or friends and co-workers. Once these triggers are identified, a plan can be put in place so that patients can remove or replace the triggers.

Dr. Ezgur says that he has also had success with some short-term herbal and homeopathic supports such as kava-kava, which is used in traditional medicines to reduce stress and anxiety. He has also had patients use the homeopathic remedy of Nico-end to help reduce cravings.

Quitting for good requires the patient to be committed to the considerable lifestyle changes that will occur. Acupuncture is most effective when the patient understands that it will not eliminate the urge to ever smoke again, but that it should help to make the process easier. If and when a patient understands this and is ready to begin treatments, Progressive Chiropractic Wellness Center will schedule acupuncture point stimulation two to four times per week for 2-4 weeks. During that time, the Wellness Center will continue to monitor symptoms and progress, making adjustments where necessary.

As Chicago residents make their way into the new year, many are discovering that those bold resolutions of January 1 have already fallen by the wayside. The patient-focused care of Progressive Chiropractic Wellness Center, with its emphasis on change in lifestyle and positive decision-making with the help of acupuncture treatments is one way to get back on the resolution track.
