Low Light Therapy Acupuncture and Microcurrent Acupuncture or No Needle Acupuncture
Low Light Therapy Acupuncture and Microcurrent Acupuncture is often described as a bit like TENS therapy but using a tiny electrical current. Low Light Therapy Acupuncture, Microcurrent Acupuncture, and Ear Seed Therapy treatments are perfect in situations where needle acupuncture may not be suitable:
There are many advantages during the treatment session too:
These treatments have been shown to be as effective as needle acupuncture, have a broad range of applications and have documented success in treating a range of conditions:
- patients don’t want needle acupuncture.
- patients are sensitive to or unable to tolerate needle acupuncture.
- patients for whom it’s not safe or who have other co-existing health conditions where acupuncture would not be suitable.
- treating specific acupuncture points with needles would be unsafe or very uncomfortable for the patient.
- for elderly or frail patients.
- for young children.
There are many advantages during the treatment session too:
- It is very safe – treatments penetrate the skin without piercing or puncturing the skin.
- minimal/no infection risk.
- It is painless – patients don’t usually feel anything during the treatment.
- Easy to perform and quick – treatment on each point with low light or microcurrent can be from 3 seconds to 60 seconds.

Acupuncture and no needle acupuncture both stimulate the nerves in skin and muscle and can produce a variety of effects. We know that it increases the body's release of natural painkillers - endorphin and serotonin - in the pain pathways of both the spinal cord and the brain. This modifies the way pain signals are received.
But acupuncture does much more than reduce pain and has a beneficial effect on health. Patients often notice an improved sense of well-being after treatment.
Modern research shows that acupuncture treatments can affect most of the body's systems - the nervous system, muscle tone, hormone outputs, circulation, antibody production and allergic responses, as well as the respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. I've written a short blog post if you'd like to learn more about laser acupuncture. You'll find it here.
Prior to your treatment a full assessment will be carried out and treatment will be tailored to your specific needs; so it is impossible to give more than a general idea of what treatment might involve.

Auriculotherapy - Low Light, Microcurrent and Ear Seed Therapy
Auriculotherapy is a specialised form of acupuncture that is commonly used to treat and help alleviate symptoms associated with stress, pain and addictions - for example drug and alcohol addiction. Based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and also incorporating elements of Western Auriculotherapy, the treatment has also been used to successfully help with the detoxification process, helping reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as depression, insomnia, agitation and anxiety and promote deep relaxation.
As well as helping with stress, detox and addictions Auriculotherapy is a powerfully effective therapy that can help most general health conditions as well as musculoskeletal pain. Small magnets and/or seeds are also used which are worn between treatments to support the healing process. The treatment is easy, quick and effective - very often dramatic results are achieved in just one treatment session, and free from side effects! Your treatment may also involve specific dietary advice based on Traditional Chinese Medicine which will further support and encourage the healing process.
Here are some of the ways this treatment can help:
Auriculotherapy can be a very effective and powerful therapy and I have seen amazing results being achieved - even with chronic conditions - in relatively short time periods - often in just one session. As well as helping with stress, pain and addictions, auricular acupuncture can also help support those wanting to stop smoking and lose weight.
Here are some of the ways this treatment can help:
- Calms the heart and mind
- Reduces hyperactivity
- Reduces inflammation
- Regulates and strengthens kidney and adrenal function
- Regulates and facilitates lung function and relaxes the chest
- Regulates the functioning of the heart and circulation of blood
- Regulates the activity of the sympathetic nervous system (that’s the one that helps you cope with stressful situations)
- Relaxes spasms of internal organs and can alleviate pain
- Promotes excretion of urine and toxins
- Regulates skin function and sweat glands

How many sessions will you need?
The number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated. Long term or chronic conditions may require weekly or twice weekly treatments, then at longer intervals as the condition responds. Treatment sessions last between 30 minutes -1 hour. A typical course of treatment lasts 5 to 8 sessions.
