Stop Smoking Laser Therapy in Indianapolis, IN
Millions of Americans try to stop smoking each year. It is not easy as smoking addiction is caused by nicotine, which increases production of endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers), leaving smokers dependent on high levels of this chemical.
Throughout his career, Dr. Greg Chernoff has researched the therapeutic benefits of laser therapy. Laser beams have been used for a number of years and provide a variety of therapeutic treatments, including stopping the urge to smoke. A soft laser light is used to stimulate acupuncture points on the ear, face and hands in order to treat the addiction. This low-level therapy uses a comfortable, relaxing treatment protocol that is painless, drug-free and safe.
How Does The Laser Therapy Work To Stop Smoking?
When applied to specific points along the central nervous system, the Stop Smoking Laser stimulates the production of endorphins, which are natural chemical pain suppressors produced by your body. The increased production of this chemical will suppress your urge for nicotine and help keep you calm and relaxed. This makes it easier to cope with the addiction, withdrawal symptoms and cravings that arise from giving up nicotine.
Prior to any treatment or procedure, Dr. Chernoff or one of our trained and certified Health Care Providers determine if you are a candidate, review the risk and benefits, and provide all possible treatment alternatives.
What Is The Treatment Process?
Treatment points are those that involve craving, withdrawal, anxiety, as well as a number of appetite suppression points to avoid overeating or transferring addiction to food. A treatment session generally lasts approximately 30 minutes.
