Scalp Acupuncture |
| |
|
Scalp Acupuncture is a modern acupuncture technique that combines Chinese needling methods with western medical knowledge of representative areas of the cerebral cortex, including anatomy, physiology, pathology and neurology. During a treatment, very short, fine needles are placed between the scalp and the cranium to achieve the desired therapeutic effects.
The use of Scalp Acupuncture is exceptional for its fast effects – it is not uncommon for a client to notice an improvement after the first treatment. These positive responses can continue for a couple of days, but to obtain the best results, it may be necessary to repeat the treatment.
Scalp Acupuncture treats the same range of conditions as body acupuncture. Notably, it is most effective in the treatment of acute conditions, pain, nerve system disorders, and psychological and psychosomatic disorders. |
Paul trained with Dr. Jason Ji-shun Hao in New Mexico. Dr Hao has been practicing and researching Scalp Acupuncture for over thirty years. He is a published author and has had great success in treating Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Since his time in New Mexico, Paul feels moved to expanding his practice of Scalp Acupuncture – the results he has achieved so far has been most encouraging.
Scalp Acupuncture can be used to treat the following:
Neurological disorders: acute and chronic paralysis, motor and sensory impairments, muscle atrophies.
Pain: acute and chronic pain due to musculoskeletal, neurological, organic, or psychological origin.
Rare and difficult conditions: unknown or undiagnosed conditions, as well as permanent or long-term disabilities that have not responded fully to traditional treatment.
Complementary urgent care: emergencies where acupuncture intervention may play a life supporting role in protecting the body from further damages, and boosting the self-healing process.

Auricular Therapy Medicine |

A couple of years ago Paul felt moved to offer his healing capabilities to those who are most vulnerable in society; he decided to work with homeless people in Dublin. At the homeless centre in Dublin Paul found he was getting exceptional results when using auricular therapy, or ear acupuncture, to treat those who were suffering from addiction and depression. So much so that he set out to learn more about exactly why this was the case – he just knew there was something special about the ear.
In his research he came across Auriculotherapy Medicine, the work of Dr Paul Nogier. Nogier is considered the father of Auricular therapy, a form of alternative medicine based on the notion that the outer portion of the ear is a microsystem of the entire body. In 1951, after extensive experimentation, Nogier established a map of the ear – the points of which closely resembles the image of an inverted foetus. Each of these points or zones on the ear corresponds to an organ or a body system.

Auriculotherapy Medicine is an extension of Auriculotherapy insofar as it incorporates the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS) Nogier developed when he noticed that Auriculotherapy had little effect on some diseases. Based on his experience with acupuncture, he began to take his patients' pulse while examining their ears. He discovered that when he touched different zones of the ear, the pulse would vary.
According to Nader Soliman MD, under healthy, non-stressful conditions, the electromagnetic field, or the "aura" of the ear, extends laterally to a maximum distance of one centimetre from the surface of the ear. An aura extending more than the one centimetre would suggest energetic stress; in other words the energetic disturbance of any organ can project as a stressed electromagnetic field of the ear.
Dr Nogier, through his discovery of the VAS, was able to pinpoint the exact organ responsible for such change of the electromagnetic field position.
Extending his research on the pulse even further, he tested many forms of stimulation (magnets, colours, various substances, etc.), and showed that the body is sensitive to seven frequencies. These Nogier frequencies represent the information received or released by the body.
Paul learnt that even surgical scars – something most of us never give a second thought – can cause strains in the connective tissue network deep within the body. When this happens, tension patterns form and create a cascade of effects that may present far from their sources. The body then has to compensate for these abnormal points of tension; this chronic irritation invariably gives way to functional and structural problems. Paul gets really animated when working with scars; for him it is a matter of “break the seal and lose the warranty”. The healing that can take place from treating scars with VAS is impressive!
Since introducing VAS in his practice Paul has received profound results with some of his clients. Every time this happens it astounds him – he has no logical explanation for the outcomes. |
