Acupressure and Auricular Therapy
Both acupressure and auricular therapy are based on Oriental theories of medicine.
Oriental medicine postulates that there are lines of electrical force that run in certain and specific patterns throughout the body. Each of these electrical lines of force, known as meridians, run through different organs and produce effects on different systems of the body.
Each meridian has several points along its path where a therapeutic intervention can be made. This can be accomplished by the use of acupuncture needles or by pressure on the point. We do not do acupuncture or use needles in our office. We do occasionally use acupressure, non-piercing ear pellets, and magnets on certain of these points to produce balancing and healing effects.
All of the body’s organs and systems are represented in points found on the auricle of the ear. Dr. Casey has frequently used the auricular points to complement other methods of healing. For example, a client who was helped to stop smoking simply with the use of ear pellets said that, of all the things he had ever tried, the auricular therapy was the most effective. In a case such as this, auricular therapy plus guided imagery, plus massage for relaxation, plus nutritional and herbal support could be a really well rounded approach. This is an example of the many ways we can combine different therapies to produce the very best results for you.
