SANTA POLA AURICULOTHERAPY

SANTA POLA AURICULOTHERAPY TREATMENT

Auriculotherapy is a technique within the field of painless alternative medicine. It was initially created to treat stress and anxiety, but its study has now advanced and encompasses the treatment of dozens of pathologies, and is currently a widely used technique within physiotherapy.

What is Auriculotherapy?

This alternative therapy originates from traditional Chinese medicine, but it was in France that Dr. Nogier first demonstrated its effectiveness. He demonstrated that the ear is a micromap of our entire body, appearing in the shape of a fetus in the womb; therefore, each part of our body is represented by a specific point on the ear. By stimulating a point on the ear, we simultaneously stimulate various nerve endings that affect the organ associated with that point.

Therefore, auriculotherapy is not only used to treat but also helps diagnose, since by pressing the points depending on whether they are painful or not, they will inform us if there is dysfunction.

Types of Auriculotherapy applications:

First, we’ll assess the symptoms and identify the affected areas, identifying the most appropriate points. To begin the new treatment, we’ll apply pressure to the points using:

  • Filiform needles: applied to the points for 10-30 min.
  • Intradermal needles: These are placed under the skin for approximately 7 days.
  • Seed patches: These are stuck to the skin for 5 days.

In what cases can we apply it?

  • Muscle pain, sprains or fractures.
  • Sciatica.
  • Joint pain.
  • Digestive problems.
  • Vertigo.
  • Facial paralysis.
  • Emotional problems: stress, anxiety and/or depression.

When can it not be applied?

When the skin of the ear is red or irritated and during pregnancy.
