What is Neuro-Acupuncture?


Neuro-acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture that targets the nervous system to address neurological conditions. It combines a deep understanding of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with traditional Chinese medicine principles. By inserting thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body, neuro-acupuncture stimulates nerve pathways, revealing your body's own natural and powerful healing mechanisms.

Unlike general acupuncture, neuro-acupuncture focuses directly on stimulating the brain and body nerves. The effects from this type of nerve stimulation can often be felt immediately. This tailored approach makes it particularly effective for treating conditions that involve nerve dysfunction or damage.

How Neuro-Acupuncture Supports Neurological Health


Stimulating Neuroplasticity: Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new connections, plays a vital role in recovery from injuries such as strokes or traumatic brain injuries. Neuro-acupuncture enhances this process by activating specific areas of the brain and promoting functional recovery.

Pain Modulation: Neuro-acupuncture has been shown to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters, that act as the body’s natural pain controls, modulating pain signals within the nervous system. This makes it an effective treatment for conditions like migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, and sciatica.

Reducing Inflammation: Chronic inflammation plays a role in many neurological conditions. Neuro-acupuncture can help reduce systemic and localized inflammation, alleviating symptoms and potentially slowing disease progression in conditions like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.

Improving Circulation: Enhanced blood flow to the brain, spinal cord and body nerves supports healing and provides the nutrients necessary for nerve repair. This is particularly beneficial for stroke rehabilitation and peripheral neuropathy.

Balancing the Autonomic Nervous System: Neuro-acupuncture helps regulate the balance between the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous systems. Strengthening the healing and relaxation response, which is crucial for conditions like functional neurological disorder (FND), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
