Direct-care Methods in Auricular Stimulation: Evidence-based Practice for APPs and Allied Health Professionals

With the advance of neuro-auricular research, the outer ear shows proven potential in the treatment of various complex and chronic conditions. Direct-care methods (neurofunctional acupuncture) enable efficient access to neuromodulation throughout the continuum of care.

APPs and Allied Health Professionals are the backbone of care, and their use of direct-care methods of auricular stimulation, offer practical benefits to clinics focused on person-centered care.
