Auriculotherapy

Auriculotherapy is an non-invasive form of electical stimulation to the external ear for the releif of pain and addictive behaviors.  While the the original basis of auriculotherapy is in ancient Chinese acupuncture, the late Dr. Paul Nogier developed the current methods in France utilizing painless stimulation without needles.

Conditions commonly treated by acupuncure are: neuralgias, trigeminal, neuralgia, tics, spams, muscular reumantisms, neuralgia of the shoulder and arm, tennis elbow, osteoarthritis, ulcers, stomach problems, diarrhea, hepatitis, asthma, bronchitis, shortness of breath, coughs, certain types of heart trouble, abnormal blood pressure, impotence, weak eyesight, hay fever, loss of smell, tonsillitis, loss of hearing, skin conditions, and even nervous or psychiatiric factors based on the fact that often mental problems arise from physical disorders.

An average of 8 out of 10 patients have favorable results.  Those adverse to needles will find the electrical stimulation of the outer ear to be a very positive therapy.
