Respiratory

I stopped smoking from going to Raleigh Acupuncture.  The treatments were comfortable.  They put needles in my ears that took away the cravings.  I went from 10 cigarettes a day to 2 in the first week. It took another week to go to zero cigarettes.  There’s no way I could have stopped without this.  I tried the patch and welbutrin before, but it didn’t work.  The acupuncture actually made the cigarettes taste bad to me.  I never thought that would happen.  These guys are good.  If you’re a smoker and can’t quit, try acupuncture with them.  It really works.

I was smoking a pack a day when I started acupuncture.  Within two weeks I was down to a single cigarette in the morning.  I told them I didn’t want to give up the last cigarette and they said, no problem.  It’s been three months and I’m still just smoking one cigarette a day.  I can live with that.  They didn’t try to push me or make me feel bad.  They just met me where I was.  I appreciate that.  I recommend Raleigh Acupuncture as a practice.  They are good.

My treatments for asthma at Raleigh Acupuncture were successful. I’ve had asthma my whole life. It was typically triggered when I played sports or physically exerted myself. I was using an inhaler (Advair) for years, but wanted to try acupuncture to see if I could stop using it.

My research on acupuncture treating asthma showed mixed results, but the doctor at the acupuncture office encouraged me to try their treatment. I received 12 treatments total. After the first six treatments I was noticing a positive difference. I didn’t have to use my inhaler as often. After the 12 visits I was needing the inhaler even less frequently.

I can tell that my lungs are stronger now. I get less winded, wheeze much less frequently, and have more stamina. I will continue the acupuncture on a maintenance basis to keep up the benefits. I recommend them for treating asthma.
