Ear Acupuncture Q & A

What is ear acupuncture?
Ear acupuncture, also called auricular acupuncture, involves inserting tiny acupuncture needles around your ears to relieve pain and restore your health and wellness on all levels: body, mind and spirit. Each needle targets a specific acupoint to stimulate nerve endings and promote the body’s natural healing response.

There are more than 200 acupoints in the ear. As a licensed acupuncturist, Janis can develop a individualized ear acupuncture and wellness plan to support your body’s self-healing process.

Janis has received extensive training to perform ear acupuncture. Since the ears are highly sensitive, choosing an acupuncturist with specific training in this area is very important.

What can ear acupuncture address to improve wellness?
Ear acupuncture is a safe, minimally invasive option for many health ailments, and when performed by a skilled acupuncturist like Janis, ear acupuncture can promote many holistic benefits such as:

Pain Relief
Ear acupuncture may help relieve back and neck pain, headaches, migraines, menstrual cramps, and post-surgical pain.

Reduced Stress and Anxiety
Ear acupuncture can help calm and regulate the nervous system and reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression.

Addiction Management
Studies show that ear acupuncture can complement addiction management treatments by alleviating withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, cravings, restlessness, anxiety and insomnia.

Improved Digestion
Stimulation of certain acupuncture points in the ears can help improve digestion and relieve digestive issues such as nausea, bloating, and constipation.

Better Sleep
Ear acupuncture can help improve sleep quality and alleviate sleep-related disorders such as insomnia and restlessness.

Wellness Care
Research shows that ear acupuncture can help support healthy weight management, smoking cessation, stress reduction and disease prevention.

What can I expect from ear acupuncture for wellness?
Ear acupuncture is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. During your initial consultation, we encourage you to discuss your symptoms and reasons for visiting; we will consider your overall health history before developing your personalized treatment plan.

How many ear acupuncture treatments will I need?
Most people need multiple treatments before they experience lasting relief from ear acupuncture and periodic appointments to maintain your state of health is highly recommended.
