The Atlantic Center for Acupuncture Launches Ride for Opiate Awareness Relief

(Newswire.net — July 30, 2018) Neptune, NJ — Rob Balko, a board-certified by the National Certification Commissioner on Acupuncture And Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and of The Atlantic Center for Acupuncture, launches a cross-country motorcycle ride to raise awareness of how Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture can help stem the tide on the opiate epidemic.

It is no secret the United States faces a national opioid epidemic. The abuses continue to escalate beyond any other drug abuse in modern times. Clearly, U.S. medical systems need non-pharmacologic approaches that can lessen the public’s opioid dependence. Rob Balko, of The Atlantic Center for Acupuncture, effectively treats people from pain and is also detoxing them from opiates or other drugs. The Atlantic Center for Acupuncture is an evidence-based, cost-effective, safe and powerful treatment suitable to meet this growing need.

Rob Balko, who is licensed to practice acupuncture in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, stated, “We all need to raise awareness of the opiate epidemic that is devastating people and families across the country. With 22,000 people dying every year, this is a horrible scourge, and Chinese Medicine can help. Acupuncture has a proven track record of natural pain relief and helping to get people off opioids and returning them to health.”

If you think Acupuncture is a bit “woo-woo” you might be surprised to know, the Veterans Administration and several branches of the U.S. Military utilize this treatment. For thousands of years, acupuncture has been documented to treat acute pain. There are also several federal regulatory agencies that mandate healthcare systems and providers to offer non-pharmacologic treatment options to avoid development of an opioid addiction; that’s not only costly but can also lead to a fatal overdose.

A client from The Atlantic Center for Acupuncture, C.B. said, “I was using every day, and OD’d twice, once in front of my children. I had reached the end of my rope and just waited to die. My partner got me into Rob Balko’s acupuncture office. I went through the addiction/detox program, and now I have my life back.”

There is developing research evidence to advocate the efficacy and effectiveness of acupuncture for the remedy of several types of pain, specifically chronic pain. The most definite proof coming forth for osteoarthritis, chronic headache, back pain, shoulder pain, and neck pain.

Balko will be stopping off at medium and small cities in the Northwestern United States during his motorcycle ride to help bring awareness and natural options for people. He’s launched a campaign where 100% of the proceeds will go to help those in need.
