NADA protocol / Detox acupuncture

At Pittsburgh Community Acupuncture we understand how the hustle and bustle of everyday life can consume someone's time. That's why we established a fast technique that consists of needling five points on each ear and having the patient sit for a half an hour. The technique employed is known as the NADA Protocol or National Acupuncture Detox Protocol. Founded at Lincoln Hospital in Harlem, New York, the protocol was used treat drug addicts and alcoholics. Since then, the protocol has been used for victims during Hurricane Katrina and veterans who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. At Pittsburgh Community Acupuncture, we offer the protocol for $15/treatment or a monthly unlimited package for $275/month*.

Though the protocol is effective, there are some down-sides. Patients who choose the protocol will not have the same results as typical treatment; there are no diagnosis nor examination, thus making the protocol effective for relaxation, smoking cessation, post traumatic strees disorder, drug and alocohol abuse.


*The monthly unlimited auricular acupuncture package for $275/month is only good for 30 days. Days when the clinic is closed do not count as days in the 30-day period; expiration will be suited for the purchase. Package cannot be used more than once a day and does not count as a regular treatment.
