Find Out How Dr. Reizer Can Help

Auriculotherapy is a technique that uses points on the outer ear (auricle) to treat pain and other conditions of the body. Endorsed by the World Health Organization,practitioners all over the world use auriculotherapy to treat pain, internal disorders, and addictions with excellent results. Whether used in conjunction with another treatment or by itself, auriculotherapy is often effective when other treatments have failed. Best of all, it is safe, non-invasive and virtually free of side effects.

 

How does auriculotherapy work?
Specific points on the ear are treated by micro-current electrical stimulation to help balance and/or normalize a range of physiological and psychological functions. This gentle electrical stimulation of the external ear is used to alleviate health conditions in other parts of the body.

What should I expect during treatment?
Your practitioner will begin by inspecting certain points that may be related to your problem on one or both of your ears. The ears will be checked by visual inspection, palpation or by electrical testing. When therapeutically active points are located, they will be treated by several different methods. At Carolina Chiropractic, our method is by micro-current electrical stimulation. In addition, sometimes a tiny seed or tack is taped to the point to provide continued stimulation.

What can auriculotherapy treat?
Auriculotherapy is most commonly used for pain control, addictions and cravings, weight loss, and help with mental or emotional problems. Protocols exist for the treatment of many internal disorders as well. Because auriculotherapy can address any part of the body, nearly any problem can be treated by auriculotherapy as a primary or complementary form of care.

How quickly can I expect relief?
Auriculotherapy often produces very rapid effects. Some treatments take effect immediately, while others are cumulative in nature, becoming increasingly effective with more treatments.
