About

Mr Richard Soper is a qualified auricular acupuncturist and CEO of Daith Medical Ltd in West Sussex. He is a specialist in the practice and research of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and holds qualifications from the London College of Auricular Acupuncture and The Homewood School of Reflexology. He also holds professional memberships with the Microsystems Acupuncture Society and The Complementary Medical Association.

Daith Medical Ltd specialises in holistic therapy that stimulates the vagus nerve (fight or flight nerve), helping with ailments such as anxiety, migraines, bi-polar, depression, tinnitus and dysphagia, among others. Mr Soper works alongside his team to provide comprehensive and successful results.

Mr Soper began piercing after enrolling on a piercing course at the International School of Body Piercing in 1997. He is fully insured to perform Daith Piercing as a complimentary medical procedure and has specialised in Daith Piercing and auricular acupuncture for migraines and associated disorders since 2008. Mr Soper pioneered a method of piercing using a pre-testing technique. Data from this technique has been used by doctors across the UK to help their research in the field of complementary medicine. Having worked on his technique for a number of years, Mr Soper is confident in his statement that "Daith Medical Ltd is the most professional and successful and possibly the only true “Medical Daith Piercing you can get".

Richard was extremely thorough and answered all my questions. He genuinely cares about helping the patient and made lots of suggestions to improve the body as a whole, and didn't solely focus on migraines. He is very empathetic and I felt very comfortable with him. He made the procedures as painless as possible.

I was extremely impressed with Richard’s ability to put me at ease, and to explain the procedure and aftercare clearly. The piercing process itself was straightforward, and the discomfort minimal. I felt that he was extremely thorough and took time to learn about how migraine affected me personally - there’s no “one size fits all” approach here! I arrived at the appointment with a migraine. I left without one. Fantastic.

Dr Soper was so so calming, I was abit scared of getting these piercings done, but after the very in depth consultation I was ok and I just went for it without any hesitation. I went in with a fuzzy headache but after a while it had got better. It’s been so so hard for me with these headaches that I thought I would give it ago. Hope it works for everyone who gets these piercings done.

My daith piercing experience was exceptionally positive! From the moment I walked in, Richard made me feel comfortable and informed about the process. The procedure itself was quick and painless. I'm thrilled with the result – the piercings looks fantastic. I highly recommend this studio for anyone considering a piercing.

Richard and the treatment came highly recommended to me following a particularly bad couple of migraines. I understood a bit of what it was all about but got a far better explanation during my appointment and the whole experience was very thorough but not at all rushed or overwhelming. It's not just a piercing or two, he also provided me with exercises, aftercare and recommendations of other treatments to try to help me with my issues. Very happy with the whole experience.
