Auricular acupuncture is acupuncture done on the ear. The ear is thought to contain a myriad of important and potentially therapeutic acupuncture points. Many of us think of the ear as being mostly cartilage, but the ear is also rich with nervous tissue, and by needling specific points, a connection is made with the brain so that the central nervous system responds to help relieve symptoms.
 

This safe and effective technique works by eliminating hyperactive muscle fibers that send pain through nerve, muscle, and connective tissue in predictable patterns. Dry needling entails the insertion of very fine acupuncture needles into hypersensitive muscle and soft tissue trigger points. Studies show that dry needling relieves pain by promoting local tissue repair and stimulating healing mechanisms in muscle and connective tissues. When trigger points are deactivated, they become less irritable and maintain higher pain and inflammatory thresholds.

Therapeutic massage is the manipulation of the muscles and superficial tissues of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort and stress. Most therapeutic massage combine various techniques suited to the needs of each individual patient and condition.
