What is 5 Needle Protocol
5 Needle Protocol, or 5NP, is an evidence-informed form of ear acupuncture that uses up to five small, sterile, single-use needles in each ear.
Treatments are done while you rest comfortably in a shared space. There’s no complicated intake and no need to talk through what brought you in. You can simply settle in and receive care.
5NP can be used as supplemental support for people experiencing:
Stress & anxiety
Trauma & PTSD
Sleep difficulties
Recovery & withdrawal support
Cravings
Emotional overwhelm
5NP is supplemental care. It is not intended to replace medical care, mental health treatment, substance use treatment, withdrawal management, or other support you may already be receiving.
No Need to Explain Why You Are Here
One of the things that makes 5NP different is that it’s non-verbal. You don’t need to tell us your diagnosis, share your history, or explain what you’re working through.
You can simply come in, get comfortable, and receive care.
