A Specialized Approach to Neurological Wellness
As a proud certified practitioner through the Neuro‑Acupuncture Institute, I offer Neuroacupuncture, an advanced technique that bridges Traditional Chinese Medicine with cutting‑edge neurological science.
What Is Neuroacupuncture?
Neuroacupuncture—also known as scalp acupuncture—integrates traditional TCM methods with Western neurology, neuroscience, and rehabilitation principles. This modern approach is especially effective for treating both acute and chronic central nervous system conditions with minimal needling, often achieving remarkable outcomes.
Conditions We Support
With roots spanning over 50 years in East Asia and growing adoption in the U.S. and Europe, Neuroacupuncture is applied in treating a wide range of neurological conditions, such as:
- Stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury
- Neurological and functional concerns like paralysis, aphasia, autism, PTSD, phantom pain, balance issues, complex regional pain syndrome, restless leg syndrome, and more
Research highlights suggest that acupuncture can promote adult neurogenesis—supporting brain repair and recovery—through the regulation of growth factors and various neurochemicals. Numerous case reports underscore positive results in neurological disorders.
My Certification & Expertise
Completing NAI’s Comprehensive Training in Neuroacupuncture Program (CTNP) involved progressing through three rigorous levels, covering:
- The history and techniques of scalp acupuncture
- Neuroanatomy, neurological assessments, and relevant Western medical knowledge
- Integrative approaches including cranial therapy, nutrition, herbal medicine, psychotherapeutic methods, and practitioner self-development
This specialized certification ensures I bring both depth and precision to care for intricate neurological issues.
Why Neuroacupuncture Stands Out
- Evidence-Based: Informed by decades of clinical use and evolving scientific understanding
- Efficient & Focused: Achieves significant improvements often with minimal needle placements.
- Holistic & Integrative: Combines TCM fundamentals with modern neuroscience and mind–body healing.
- Unique Specialist Status: This certification sets me apart, offering a focused expertise in neurological acupuncture not commonly found in general practice.
If you or a loved one are navigating neurological challenges—whether it’s recovery after stroke, managing Parkinson’s, improving balance, or addressing cognitive and emotional symptoms—I’d be honored to explore how Neuroacupuncture can support your healing journey.
