OTHER INJECTABLE THERAPIES
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a therapeutic method based on traditional Chinese medicine. It was developed 4,000 years ago in China and introduced to Europe 160 years ago. Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique involving the painless placement of needles at specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points. The aim of acupuncture is to correct dysfunctions or imbalances in the body’s energy flow, which passes through various channels called meridians. Acupuncture has a low likelihood of side effects, is a painless method, and does not interfere with medication. It treats acute and chronic pain (such as cervical syndrome, low back pain, and degenerative spinal diseases).

Many studies related to substance dependence report that acupuncture increases the need for positive action, creates vitality and euphoria, strengthens willpower, and helps the mind think clearly and control cravings. Especially for smoking, by placing needles at specific points, a large number of endogenous substances are transported through the bloodstream, cerebrospinal fluid, and nerve fibers to specific target cells in brain areas related to addiction and pleasure. Smoking is a strong and complex addiction. Quitting is not easy. Acupuncture is an important tool to address the physical and emotional symptoms that accompany every attempt to quit.
