People searching for relief from acute or chronic pain, or central nervous system and psycho-emotional disorders, including PTSD and ADHD, may benefit from a lesser-known acupuncture subspecialty known as NeuroAcupuncture.
This advanced, evidence-based technique integrates traditional Chinese needling with Western scientific knowledge of neurology, anatomy and rehabilitation. Patients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and post-stroke recovery have also shown improvement from NeuroAcupuncture treatment in conjunction with medical care through a neurologist, or as an adjunct to physical therapy.
During treatment, sterile, single-use needles are placed on the scalp to stimulate underlying neural pathways. The technique is well tolerated even by individuals who fear needles.
