Laser Therapy to Quit Smoking

Get Assistance in Quitting Smoking in Ottawa | Physiocare Physiotherapy & Rehab Centre

Laser therapy to quit smoking is a painless and safe treatment for reducing nicotine cravings.

Based on auricular therapy and medical acupuncture, low intensity laser is applied to specific acupoints on the face, head, ears, arms and legs in order to stimulate the pleasure centres of the brain to release neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins – which help to break the addiction cycle to nicotine. 

The end goal is to drastically reduce nicotine cravings, giving you an edge over all other options to quit smoking for good.
