A powerful, safe solution for opioid addiction
If you suffer from opioid addiction in Cypress, TX, acupuncture can help!
Acupuncture plays two important roles as an alternative treatment to opioid medications. First, it is proven to alleviate chronic pain without any negative side effects or the risk of becoming chemically dependent, providing a possible replacement therapy to opioids. Second, acupuncture has been shown to help those recovering from an opioid addiction by decreasing the severity of withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

“... one of the oldest pain relief techniques (acupuncture) ... could find a central place in the management of acute care settings.”
In 2016, research published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine found acupuncture was significantly more effective than intravenous morphine to address patients’ pain. The study looked at 300 patients who reported to an emergency hospital in Tunisia with acute pain. Notably, the study also showed acupuncture worked faster and caused fewer adverse side effects.
While this study specifically looked at acupuncture for acute pain in the emergency-room setting, subsequent studies, including research analyzing the results from over 20,000 patients published in the Journal of Pain, have shown acupuncture is also effective in the treatment of chronic pain.
It’s a natural treatment
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses completely natural treatment methods that leverage ancient herbal remedies and your body’s innate healing processes. It does not introduce any synthetic or harmful substances into your body or put you at risk of negative side effects.
Access your body’s natural healing processes
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins – the body’s natural painkiller. The stimulation also releases other chemicals that either change how the body experiences pain or triggers the release of other chemicals that activate the body’s internal regulating system. This process has a normalizing effect on nerves and hormones. By bringing the body into better biochemical balance, acupuncture promotes physical and emotional well-being and supports the body’s natural ability to heal, combat pain and reduce dependency on opioids.
