Daith Medical Ltd is the only UK Company that is set up for treating, migraine, anxiety and PTSD related issues using the medical daith piercing.
Breakthrough – for the last 18 months I have been refining a unique pre-testing method. Together we will find the best piercing spot for you, and after agreement we will continue with the treatment.
Current data shows (Jan 2021) a 74% success rate at achieving between a 50% to 100% reduction in migraine and headache issues. This is from data recorded at 3 months after the piercing which I will ask you to do voluntarily, using the emails survey.
Book your consultation now. Choose your time, date and venue.
Taking away the luck factor and replacing this with facts, figures and testing eliminates the “missing the spot”. The consultation is 75 mins in Harley Street, London (just off Oxford Street) or 90 mins in Burgess Hill (5 mins off the A23 M23 10 miles north of Brighton with free parking)
First you will be tested to find out: 1) How much stimulation is available 2) To pinpoint the exact spot to pierce, for maximum stimulation.
You may need one or two piercings based on the test results. (Subject to risk assessment) There is no extra cost for 2 piercings. See what happens at the appointment.
How does this migraine piercing work ?
This is powerful nerve stimulation via the auricular vagus branch from the nerve endings in the daith. It deals with many neurological disorders. See how It works.
Can it help with other things such as anxiety ?
This is the medical daith piercing. It can help with anxiety, vertigo, depression, Irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the symptoms of fibromyalgia, epilepsy, dysphagia and many other neurological disorders.
What types of Migraine does this deal with ?
This daith piercing is transforming the lives of many of the worst migraine sufferers. It is not unusual to find people whose lives have been blighted by chronic migraine for 20 or 30 plus years. The search for a migraine treatment to escape this horrid condition brings many people to our clinics in Sussex & London. The type of migraine does not seem to matter, it deals with most types to the same degree.
My services encompass a thorough consultation addressing various disorders, extending beyond migraines. This consultation often reveals unexpected connections, potentially alleviated through daith piercing. Following this, I perform an examination to identify and stimulate your most receptive points, optimizing vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) near the ear’s helix crux. This action promotes an increase parasympathetic activity and decrease excessive sympathetic activity in the region, resulting in a decrease in vascular events that surround migraine headaches and other neurological disorders.
Innovative Technique for Optimal Results
My method, a fusion of acupuncture techniques developed over years, sets the stage for remarkable outcomes. These successes are documented in my Google reviews. and Doctify reviews. This unparalleled approach offers insight into your potential results even before the daith piercing procedure.
A Holistic Approach to Treatment
Should daith piercing be the chosen path, I personally administer the piercing, drawing from Traditional Chinese medicine and extensive experience. As a qualified and fully insured complementary medical practitioner, I prioritize medical outcomes. I am not a body piercer.
Guidance and Follow-Up for Lasting Relief
Post-piercing, I provide recommendations and guidance to propel your journey towards resolution. To track treatment efficacy, I request completion of email surveys at two weeks, three months, and six months after treatment. Your input contributes to one of the world’s largest data sources on daith piercing and its impact.
Transformative Results for Various Conditions
Daith piercing has exhibited remarkable effectiveness in addressing a multitude of conditions, including:

What Our Clients Say - Google reviews
Amazing experience and so happy with everything! I saw Richard at Daith Medical after being referred by a friend. He was so knowledge about migraines, headaches and tension and made me feel at ease about the whole experience. I learnt so much and Richard gave me minor lifestyle changes to help manage my headaches/migraines, however since having the piercing I have not had any! The piercing did not hurt at all and looks beautiful too. The aftercare given by Richard is great as I can stay in contact if I have any issues, and the follow up surveys really show that he cares about the effect of the piercing and our experience.I am so happy with Richard as a consultant and the consultation as a whole and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who experiences migraines looking for a remedy!
My experience at the Daith appointment was very positive. Richard explained everything in detail you need to know about everything we spoke about. Richard was also very friendly and calm. The numbing cream for the piercing worked exceptionally well! The acupuncture of the ear immediately made me feel relaxed! The Daith clinic was extremely clean and sterile. I was greeted and seen to straight away with no wait time. Overall it was a really great experience.
I booked an appointment with Richard as I suffer with Migraines/Tension headaches. I found him to be very knowledgeable on this subject and felt at ease throughout my appointment. I was treated in a thoroughly professional way and was surprised that my headaches could be caused from other muscles. I had two Daith piercings which didn't hurt at all and was given exercises to do to help relax muscles that have become tense. I came away feeling a lot more relaxed and totally happy with my experience. I would highly recommend Richard.
Highly recommend Richard for anyone experiencing migraines. His consultation was thorough and extremely helpful. I have quite a complex case of chronic migraine so I’m yet to see if the daith piercing will benefit me, but hopefully I’ll see improvements in a couple of weeks!Richard provided lots of helpful information for how to manage my migraines going forward and has been incredibly responsive post-piercing to any queries I have. He has also given me helpful exercises to help with my posture.
For start to finish all was great.Was seen before my appointment time and appointment was actually shorter than estimated but without being rushed.Everything explained properly, all questions and answers given while appointment happening, all very clean and professional.Richard was easy going and did put me at ease, lots of advice given and email followed promptly after appointment.Aftercare provided and demonstrated.Very good assessment so, definitely 5 stars, would highly recommend.
I saw Richard only 3 days ago and my symptoms have improved already. The head fog has finally lifted! As a Radiographer with over 20 years experience of seeing patients for scans suffering from migraines/headaches I am well versed in the traditional drug therapies and their side effects. Richard certainly knows his subject well and put me at ease quickly. I suffer from low Blood pressure, am prone to fainting and am a needlephobic but despite this I managed to have both Daith piercings in one appointment as this is what I clearly needed after Richards assessment and tests with the accupuncture needles. After the second piercing I was overcome with emotions which was quite surprise to me, but Richard reassured me that this was not an uncommon reaction and to let the emotions go. Richard was so kind and patient with me and I certainly left as a different person to the one who arrived! I will be seeing an osteopath soon about my back issues which I hope will further improve my symptoms Following Richards recommendations. Thank you Richard!
Richard is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He kindly fitted me in at short notice for which I am very grateful. He took his time to explain everything thoroughly and it is a very clean medical setting. He took his time to put me as at ease as possible. I am a chronic migraine sufferer and have tried numerous avenues to try and relieve them. I am trying to avoid more medication and Richard did acupunture and 2 daith piercings. It was a very interesting process and whilst I still have a headache, I am optimistic about what the future holds. I felt some relief initially after the piercing. I would recommend Richard to anyone who is looking for help with their migraines.
I been Northampton Marian,was very helpfully very kind and very professional in her job and very respectful.I can recommend for everybody for any Daith Piersing and any therapy.
Amazing!!! So thorough! And not as painful as I thought it would be! Some fab advice! Keeping fingers crossed it works and my migraines get better! Thanks Richard.
Richard is incredibly knowledgeable and answered all my random questions. He puts you at ease too. The piercing is amazing and haven’t had a headache since. Anxiety has reduced and hold far less tension. I would recommend Daith UK to anyone looking for a medication free solution for migraines/headaches, anxiety, etc. Thanks so much Richard, it’s been a life changer.
Richard was very knowledgeable and thorough throughout the appointment. He explained everything he was going to do in detail and also gave me lots of helpful information and tips on exercises to follow up. A very in depth and helpful appointment ending in my Daith piercing.I highly recommend Richard for anyone needing migraine/pain relief.
I thought I'd already left a Google review as well as elsewhere - apologies, Richard!I'm two months on from a daith piercing on both sides at Richard's Burgess Hill clinic, and I couldn't be happier. I went into this with the attitude "worst that can happen is I end up with one or two cool new piercings", so anything on top of that was always going to be a bonus.Richard took his time in the appointment, and the consultation was very thorough indeed. I had my first migraine at the age of 9, and they have been getting progressively worse to the point of a chronic diagnosis for the past decade, reaching the stage where I was waking up with head pain of some description every day.I've had 9 migraines since I had my daiths pierced. That might sound like a lot, but in two months I could usually expect at least 20-25, and possibly even more. The migraines I have had have been mild, and quickly responded to medication - I've only had to go back to bed for a nap once (and then I was back about my normal day). I have no constant background headache (I didn't even realise I had one until I didn't any longer). I can even enjoy the occasional glass of wine!The piercings are healing well - I had a helix piercing last week and the piercer said that they were almost ready for a jewellery change (I do heal freakishly fast, so be guided on how YOU are healing!).The daith piercing does hurt a bit, but Richard will put you at your ease, and they will calm down in a few days. He will take you through aftercare and give you a kit, so follow the instructions carefully.
I was really impressed with how much time Richard spent in consultation and evaluation of my sister and I. It was fascinating to feel the difference made with the accupuncture prior to the piercing on my anxiety. I felt my face and mouth muscles relax, as well as the relaxing of the muscles in my hands. I felt calmer. I was pleasantly surprised when offered numbing cream prior to the piercing, and even more surprised at how the piercing was only mildly painful. Richard was very thorough and shared his extensive knowledge on many subjects including how to improve posture to avoid tight neck and shoulder muscles, and how to counteract the effects of use of mobile devices and computer work. I am thankful to Richard for helping to tone down my excessive levels of anxiousness. Blessings on you Richard!
After a nightmare journey down from Surrey, making me very late for my appointment, Richard was kind to stay late for me.He didn't cut the consultation short, took his time to explain everything and mercifully the piercing was over with quickly.I will be back for the other side next year.
I had my ear pierced by Richard about a year ago and it really did change my life. I have only had a handful of migraines since and they haven't been nearly as severe as they used to be. He was fantastic and so knowledgeable. It felt amazing to talk to someone who just knew and understood everything I was going through. He knew more than any of the doctors or neurologists I had seen! I couldn't believe the instant effects I felt when he put the acupuncture needle in my ear- both to my head fog and dizziness and also my vision. I have been recommending daith piercing ever since my visit. Thank you so much Richard.
Had both Daiths pierced nine days ago. Richard was very informative, knowledgable and professional. Having suffered migraines and headaches for the past thirty years the immediate relief of the “head fog” was unreal. I haven’t woken with a headache since having the piercings. Had a previous cosmetic Daith piercing and I felt zero affect! Hopeful for the future going forward… Game changer!! Thank you!!!** Update**Two months after piercing and no head fog, no headache and no full blown migraine!!! Amazed and soo very grateful!
I was really impressed with how thorough the consultation was with Richard, and I felt really listened to. I appreciated all the additional advice about posture and other factors contributing to my migraines. The daith piercings (both ears) have been easy to take care of using the aftercare kit, and although I'm only a few weeks into the healing, my migraines are almost non-existent. I regret not doing this years ago.
UPDATE - September 2023:These 2 piercings have changed my life and I don’t make that statement lightly! After having either a headache or a migraine virtually every day, I have literally just had a couple of mild headaches which have mainly been in relation to a recent tooth abscess and just 1 migraine brought about due to holiday stress! My healing did take longer than I thought in one of my ears, but nothing I couldn’t cope with and had plenty of product provided at my appointment to keep them clean.My 2 teenage girls have also had theirs done a couple of months ago - 1 has not had any headaches at all and she had been diagnosed with familial hemiplegic migraines, so wow! My younger 16 year old has had a significant reduction; still has a few headaches but she does also suffer from tummy migraines so we were told it would take a bit longer to settle down. She has also had lots of stress with exams and starting at Uni, so overall we are all very very impressed and pleased we have had them done.Pity I didn’t get it done years ago, but my girls will benefit for all of their adult lives.Thanks Richard so much for a great service and after care. Have even recommended you to my dentist & his hygienist wife!Original review:Visited with my Aunty over Easter - we have both had migraines and bad headaches on an almost daily basis for over 40 years, along with other issues - for me it’s also been fibromyalgia, numbness down left side, numbness, tightness & tingles in left side of jaw, a feeling of being as tight as a corset from top of back to middle of back meaning I couldn’t lift my arms up hardly at all. So not great and enough was enough 😏Within a minute my numb left side of mouth had gone - reappeared when needle was removed - and gradually other needles added to ensure that all of my aches on the day had gone! Richard gave us careful demonstrations of exercises to work towards improving my sloping shoulder and slight curve of my shoulders. Along with my 2 piercings I left a very happy lady, able to lift my arms quite away up! Not had a single headache since leaving. Yes my ears are sore after the piercings in both my ears but that is nothing in comparison to the years and years of pain I’ve had. So very pleased I went to Richard who was very thorough in dealing with us both, checking we knew what would happen and explain this is not magic, I may still have some headaches and or neck tension in the future but hopefully I will experience less of them and with less intensity. I am looking at getting this done for my 2 teenage girls who both already suffer from bad headaches with my eldest at just 18, suffering a familial hemiplegic migraine but was initially treated as having a stroke as so severe…she never wants another and if having a ‘daith’ means they both don’t go through what I’ve done for at least 40 years, they would be mad not to. Can’t recommend Richard enough. A**
I was suffering from chronic migraines.(That was my main problem) I’m also struggling with anxiety, depression and insomnia.A lot of people suggested to me to do the daith piercing.I did my research as I didn’t want to go to a tattoo shop and I found Richard. Honestly I can’t thank him enough!Richard gave me my life back! It’s been almost 3 weeks now and I’m migraine free ( I used to have twice a week).The piercings healed up very quickly and now I can move on with my life.Richard thank you so so much, you gave me my life back! 😊Highly recommend!!!!!
What an amazing experience. Mr Richard Soper was very calming from the moment I walked through the door. He is very knowledgable and defintely very professional. He explained what Daith Piercing was, what it involved and the aftercare. It definately worked with my anxiety almost immediately, time will tell with the migraine management. I stopped taking my medication the day after my piercings for both migraine and anxiety and haven't experienced an attack of either yet. Would definitely recommend this clinic for Daith Piercing
I had a piercing done in both ears because I suffered with 3/6 migraines per month. After 3 months I have no had a single migraine
I had both my daiths pierced by Richard a couple of weeks ago after having a 2 week long migraine that faded into a tension headache/ head fog that just wouldn’t budge. A colleague of mine recommended I see Richard as she had this done when she was in the middle of a horrendous migraine in 2017 and said almost instantly after having them done she felt pretty much back to normal again- she actually hasn’t had one since!Firstly, Richard’s consultation was very informative. I came away not only understanding more about migraines themselves but it was also eye opening in other areas, such as my posture issues which wouldn’t have been helping my symptoms. I was given lots of advice and exercises to try at home to improve this over time.The acupuncture section was also really interesting. As each needle was placed it was explained what it was connected to in the body. Within minutes of having the needles in, my shoulders and jaw felt less tense as well as feeling far more relaxed in general. I can honestly say my anxiety levels have been so much better since also. I’m no longer waking up every day worrying about whether I’ll start to feel rubbish again and overall just not feeling as anxious as I was which is great for a constant worrier like me!When it came to the piercings themselves I couldn’t believe how quickly they were done. As someone who’s had a cosmetic daith done before I knew what to expect but it was done so swiftly, both the piercing itself and jewellery being put in, absolutely no complaints there.The healing has also been great! The aftercare advice Richard gives is very thorough as well as the leaflet. I was told I can contact him if I have any concerns, which I haven’t had, but it’s clear he’d be more than willing to help if needed.All in all Richard is very knowledgeable and friendly and you’ll definitely leave feeling informed. I’d recommend anyone to book in and get this done if you’ve been thinking about it.
I had my piercing with Richard about a month ago and I honestly can’t believe the result I’ve had. I suffered with chronic migraines getting 3-4 a month being as debilitating as they possibly could. Since seeing Richard a month ago I haven’t had one since. I have had manageable headaches but that’s all. It’s honestly amazing I now can plan to do things and not worry that I may end up bed bound .I can’t thank you enough it’s truly amazing and I highly recommend this treatment to anyone who is suffering from migraines.
I had my daith piercing done today after over 15 years of migraines, constant headaches and anxiety. Richard explained everything that he was doing in detail. He completed various tests to see whether I would benefit from one piercing or two and also recommended exercises to help correct my posture.I was really nervous about the piercing but it was really quick and hardly hurt, I felt the immediate effects as my headache disappeared completely and has not returned all day - I can't remember the last time I didn't have one!I would highly recommend this and wish I had had it done sooner!

A colleague of mine recommended I see Richard as she had this done when she was in the middle of a horrendous migraine in 2017 and said almost instantly after having them done she felt pretty much back to normal again- she actually hasn’t had one since!Firstly, Richard’s consultation was very informative. I came away not only understanding more about migraines themselves but it was also eye opening in other areas, such as my posture issues which wouldn’t have been helping my symptoms. I was given lots of advice and exercises to try at home to improve this over time.The acupuncture section was also really interesting. As each needle was placed it was explained what it was connected to in the body. Within minutes of having the needles in, my shoulders and jaw felt less tense as well as feeling far more relaxed in general. I can honestly say my anxiety levels have been so much better since also. I’m no longer waking up every day worrying about whether I’ll start to feel rubbish again and overall just not feeling as anxious as I was which is great for a constant worrier like me!When it came to the piercings themselves I couldn’t believe how quickly they were done. As someone who’s had a cosmetic daith done before I knew what to expect but it was done so swiftly, both the piercing itself and jewellery being put in, absolutely no complaints there.The healing has also been great! The aftercare advice Richard gives is very thorough as well as the leaflet. I was told I can contact him if I have any concerns, which I haven’t had, but it’s clear he’d be more than willing to help if needed.All in all Richard is very knowledgeable and friendly and you’ll definitely leave feeling informed. I’d recommend anyone to book in and get this done if you’ve been thinking about it.
I had my piercing with Richard about a month ago and I honestly can’t believe the result I’ve had. I suffered with chronic migraines getting 3-4 a month being as debilitating as they possibly could. Since seeing Richard a month ago I haven’t had one since. I have had manageable headaches but that’s all. It’s honestly amazing I now can plan to do things and not worry that I may end up bed bound .I can’t thank you enough it’s truly amazing and I highly recommend this treatment to anyone who is suffering from migraines.
I had my daith piercing done today after over 15 years of migraines, constant headaches and anxiety. Richard explained everything that he was doing in detail. He completed various tests to see whether I would benefit from one piercing or two and also recommended exercises to help correct my posture.I was really nervous about the piercing but it was really quick and hardly hurt, I felt the immediate effects as my headache disappeared completely and has not returned all day – I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have one!I would highly recommend this and wish I had had it done sooner!
