We are located within our beautiful purpose built clinic @ 31 Ashgrove Ave, Ashgrove, QLD, Australia.

Before your treatment: we recommend the following: ensure you are hydrated, don’t eat a huge meal before hand, try and ensure you can relax afterwards, bring in any relevant scans, blood work or basal body temperature charts, aim to be on time to ensure a relaxing start to your treatment.

 

To ensure you feel your most comfortable and get the most out of your treatment, we recommend you wear loose fitting pants or a skirt that can easily go above you knee and a bra that undoes at the back so that all your back points can be reached easily. Don’t worry, if you forget we can always work around whatever you are wearing.

At Happy Halthy Clinic we utilise the transcutaneous auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) method to stimulate the Vagus Nerve non-invasively.

  • Transcutaneous = passing, entering or made by penetration through the skin. In the case of taVNS you will place clips on the ear that then provide stimulation through a TENS machine.  The TENS provides a very small electrical current, this electrical current is considered to be ‘penetrating’ the skin.
  • Auricular = relating to the ear
  • Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) = refers to any technique that stimulates the vagus nerve, including manual or electrical stimulation

At Vagus Nerve™ we stimulate and support the tone of the Vagus Nerve through the use of a TENS machine

  • Two ear clips are placed in each ear, on high Vagus Nerve innervation points.
  • The clips are then attached to a TENS machine which delivers a mild electrical current to these points. This mild electrical current provides stimulation to the nerve which helps support the tone or re-invigorate the dysfunctional Vagus Nerve.
  • The sensation of the TENS machine is similar to a pleasant tapping sensation. Different settings provide different sensations.  Some settings are a more definite tap, while others can feel more like a tingling or fast tapping sensation.
  • Vagus Nerve Stimulation should always feel pleasant
