An Auriculotherapy treatment can take 10–20 minutes. You will be lying on your side or back with a comfortable pillow to support your neck. The practitioner will be running a small battery-powered micro-current device around your ear. You will hear a quiet, high-pitch noise coming from the Stimplus. When the practitioner treats an active reflex point that he/she has located, you may feel a sensation of a pulse or a pin-prick: This sensation will only last 30–60 seconds for each point treated.

Micro-current is used in preference to needles, acupressure, laser and other forms of current (e.g. TENS), as this best matches the natural frequencies of the nerves being treated. Hence Micro-current is attempting to normalize abnormal nerve activities. The advanced design of the instrument utilized has the additional advantage of being able to locate the active reflex points, as well as treat.

There are no known contraindications or dangers of Auriculotherapy. (For ultra-safety it has been recommend not to have this treatment if you have a pacemaker or are in the first trimester of pregnancy.)

The number and regularity of Auriculotherapy sessions will depend on the severity and complexity of the health problems being treated and the severity and number of active reflex points located upon examination.

Auriculotherapy can be used as a “stand-alone” treatment, but has also found to be extremely effective and complementary when combined with the modern Chiropractic techniques such as TRT.
