What it does:

Auricular acupuncture, sometimes called ear acupuncture or auriculotherapy, involves stimulating specific points on the external ear using needles, seeds, or pressure-based methods. It is commonly used as an adjunctive therapy for pain management, stress reduction, anxiety support, sleep concerns, and selected recovery goals. Systematic reviews suggest it may help reduce pain in some settings, though the strength of evidence varies by condition.

​

Good candidates:

Good candidates include patients seeking adjunctive pain support, those interested in non-drug options for stress or nervous system regulation, and people who respond well to integrative or complementary therapies as part of a larger recovery plan. It may also appeal to patients who want a low-risk adjunct to conventional care.

​

Why it may be a good choice:

Auricular acupuncture may be a good option because it is relatively low burden, can be paired with other therapies, and may help some patients feel calmer, more regulated, or more comfortable while addressing pain or stress-related symptoms.
