Neuro-Acupuncture
Neuro-acupuncture is a specialized acupuncture treatment that combines modern understanding of the nervous system with traditional acupuncture techniques. It stimulates and improves neurological functions in the brain, spinal cord, and body.
Different areas of the brain and nervous system control corresponding neurological functions, including movement, sensation, pain, circulation, sweating, temperature, vision, speech, hearing, balance and hormonal functions. Most neurological conditions can be improved by stimulating specific nerves in the body using neuro-acupuncture.
How Does Neuro-Acupuncture Work?
- Generates impulses that travel through the nervous system to the brain and body stimulating a healing and regulating response
- Increases nerve conduction
- Improves connectivity and neuroplasticity in the brain and body
- Increases blood flow to brain and body regions
- Provides pain relief by regulating your body's natural pain relieving opioid and non-opioid neuropeptides including serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, cytokines, nitric oxide, GABA, substance P and CGRP
- Decreases Inflammation
- Stimulates deep relaxation and calm by activating the rest, digest and healing (parasympathetic) division of the nervous system
