Auriculotherapy
The Stewart Healing System
"In 1989 the World Health Organization declared auriculotherapy to be a viable medical therapy."
Dr. Stewart is a Certified Auriculortherapist and has found this procedure to be particularly effective for pain management, compulsive disorders and addictions.
Developed by a French Neurologist in the 1950's and its roots in ancient Chinese medicine, modern research has expanded auriculotherapy's effectiveness across a number of patient problems.
Dr. Paul Nogier, a neurologist, laid out an intricate map of points on the ear that correspond to the organs and processes in the body.
Research has shown that auriculotherpy can be effective for back pain, headaches, bursitis, shoulder pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, neuro-sensory deafness, addictions and weight control.
After a thorough initial exam and interview, Dr. Stewart will determine if this therapy fits your particular situation. He may employ several auriculotherapy techniques, such as acupuncture and bioconductive therapy as non-invasive and painless procedures, depending on your individual needs.
The UCLA School of Medicine has found that Auricular acupuncture has proved effective for the treatment of chronic pain, narcotic withdrawal, smoking, weight control and hearing loss.
