Semi Permanent Needles - SMP
Semi Permanent Needle is an acupuncture needle that was developed especially for Ear (Auricular) Acupuncture.
​
It has a plastic applicator that nudges a small metal 'dart' into the skin of the ear.
​
The reason we use SMP needles is because it is so effective for chronic conditions.
​
Some of the neurological holding pattern that we are trying to shift in the clients nervous system needs a consistent stimulation of the ear to affect the brain.
The average time for an SMP needle to stay in the ear is around 7 days.
While the needle is in it might be sensitive but you can wash your hair and be active, just try not to scratch the needle off when you are sleeping.
​
If the needle falls and the specific needle needs to stay in for more time, you can come back and Nir will re-insert the needle for you - one time for free.
The 2nd re-insert will be $10 for time spend and for the needles as well.
​
Treatments that usually need an SMP - is clearing trauma from the body, where it takes time for the body to process the emotions gradually.
