Acupuncture in Greeley | AcuDetox: Ear Acupuncture for Stress, Trauma, and Recovery
At Pins & Needles Acupuncture in Greeley, we believe healing should be accessible, compassionate, and holistic. One of the most powerful tools we use is AcuDetox, a specialized ear acupuncture protocol designed to support recovery from stress, trauma, and addiction.
AcuDetox with the NADA protocol.
What Is AcuDetox?
AcuDetox is based on the NADA protocol, developed in the 1970s to help people struggling with substance use and trauma. It involves placing tiny needles in five specific points on the ear, each corresponding to areas of the body and emotions:
Sympathetic point: Calms the nervous system
Shen Men (“Spirit Gate”): Reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation
Kidney point: Supports resilience and energy
Liver point: Helps with detoxification and emotional regulation
Lung point: Supports grief release and breathing
Together, these points create a calming, restorative effect that helps patients feel more grounded and supported.
Where AcuDetox Is Used
The NADA protocol is used worldwide in:
Addiction recovery programs
Veteran and trauma support clinics
Disaster relief settings
Community wellness centers
It’s valued for being simple, effective, and accessible — often offered in group settings to foster connection and healing.
Benefits of AcuDetox
Patients often report:
Reduced cravings and withdrawal symptoms
Improved sleep and emotional balance

Research shows that AcuDetox can help regulate the nervous system, reduce cortisol, and support emotional resilience — making it a valuable adjunct to counseling, medical care, and community support.
