What Is Auricular Acupuncture?
Auricular acupuncture is a type of acupuncture that stimulates external points on the ear. This treatment has many health benefits, including improved heart health. Dr. Elain uses acupuncture in conjunction with nerve block and trigger point injection therapy for the treatment of pain and non-pain disorders.
Why Are Needles Inserted Into the Ear?
It is thought that the outer ears contain a “map” of the whole body and that specific points on this map match up with certain parts of the body.
What Are the Benefits?
Auricular acupuncture, when combined with pain management injections, can relieve chronic pain. Used alone, this treatment can help with stress and anxiety.
