ABSTRACT:
A special acupuncture needle and a method and apparatus for inserting the needle. The needle is adapted for placement in a selected region, especially in the external ear, and consists of a pair of opposed curved pointed sections which can be pressed together to effect insertion of the needle. An inserting device is provided for pressing the needle into the proper position while pressing the aforementioned opposed curved portions together, thereby to fix the needle in place. The needle has a portion which is exposed when the needle is implanted and which exposed portion has a handle, or the like, connected thereto for movement of the needle to stimulate the region in which the needle is implanted, thereby permitting the individual in whose external ear the needle is implanted effectively to carry out self-treatment merely by manipulating the handle on the exposed portion of the needle.
