I recommend everyone I know to Dr. Todd – he’s the best! Been going to him since I moved to Westfield 9 years ago, and he has treated me throughout all 3 pregnancies too.*

Most people associate acupuncture with pain relief or relaxation, however, acupuncture can actually be used to help people to quit smoking! There are specific acupuncture points located near the wrist that can be targeted to effectively reduce cigarette cravings by actually changing the way cigarettes taste to the person. This acupuncture point is known as “Tim Mee” and is very powerful.
Acupuncture can also help people to quit smoking in a number of other ways such as reducing cravings, stopping jitters associate with withdrawl and aiding in cleansing the body.
Studies have proven the beneficial effect acupuncture can have on those looking to quit smoking. Specifically, one study assessed more than 800 patients trying to quit smoking and found that acupuncture and hypnotherapy were effective means of smoking cessation.
One of the most powerful benefits of an acupuncture session is the way it calms your mind and eases anxiety. People often smoke to mask feelings they don’t wish to feel or face. Acupuncture helps to safely move these feelings out of the body. People comment that they have more restful sleep, fall asleep easier and sleep longer after acupuncture.
Finally, acupuncture helps to physically remove tar and nicotine residue from the body. This allows the lungs to feel lighter, the voice less gravely, helps stop coughing and improves digestion. There are helpful herbal formulas that your acupuncturist can prescribe for helping heal the lungs and refrain from smoking. One formula that all smokers, ex-smokers and those working on quitting should take is called ‘Yang Yin Qing Fei’. This formula is a perfect balance of herbs to clear out the lungs and stop coughing while moistening the dryness of the lungs and sore throats that many smokers experience.

You are the best Dr. Todd.*
AMAZING SERVICE.they make me feel so comfortable and every visit is like a relaxing vacation! Definitely recommend.*
I have 2 health issues…IBD & an arthritic neck with some bad discs; probably too much time in front of a computer screen, and perhaps age too, although hate to admit that part. The first I cannot control – it comes and goes – but my neck belongs to this unit 100%…a caring, professional, diligent and most importantly, results-oriented group! Starting with my exercise routine, followed by the magic fingers of my physical therapist, and finally my session with Dr. Todd allows me to walk out of there, amazed with full motion in my neck. Tucked away in my bag, I have a new stretch band and a new series of exercises to keep me from locking up again. Highly recommended as this group stays ahead of the curve on the latest pain management technology and practices, keeping me a step ahead of my pain!*
This is a one stop wellness center. Dr Todd is outstanding. They now offer acupuncture ( I was a skeptic…no longer). Their physical therapist is excellent. As needed you can get an appointment with several pain management specialists. The office staff is friendly and will try their best to make appointments to fit the lives of the busy man or woman. They have the spinal decompression which will offer tremendous relieve to lower back pain, bulging discs, herniated disc, and sciatica…and I am a walking testament to that. I highly recommend this Doctor and the entire staff.*
Dr. Todd helped me get through my first and only marathon. Not being a runner, he helped me with all of the aches and pains associated with the pounding on the back and joints!*
I am a patient of Dr. Carnucci’s as are my husband and 2 children. He is an excellent chiropractor and the staff at Westfield Health & Rehab are wonderful! Highly recommend!*
My husband and 3 boys are all patients. I highly recommend and trust Dr. Todd Carnucci.*
