Auricular Acupuncture in Clearwater, FL
The entire body treated through the neuro-active map of the ear.
The external ear contains a dense, neuro-active map of the entire body. Auricular acupuncture uses short, hair-thin needles at specific ear points to normalize function throughout the body.
It is widely used for addiction recovery (NADA protocol), anxiety, PTSD, sleep, and pain. It is often paired with body acupuncture but can also stand alone.

How it works
The ear map lets us influence organs and systems throughout the body from a single site.
Ear seeds or press-tacks can extend the effect between visits.
