Neurofunctional Acupuncture is a modern, evidence-informed approach that blends traditional acupuncture with contemporary neuroscience and anatomy. Unlike traditional acupuncture, which is based on meridian theory, neurofunctional acupuncture focuses on how the nervous system, muscles and connective tissues interact.
Using fine, sterile needles, your practitioners targets specific nerves, motor points, or trigger points to help restore normal function, relieve pain, and improve performance. Tiny electrical impulses are also applied to the needles to stimulate the nerves and enhance the treatment effect.
How Does It Help?
Neurofunctional acupuncture can help:
• Reduce acute or chronic pain
• Improve muscle activation and strength
• Restore movement patterns
• Release tension in tight or overworked muscles
• Support recovery from injuiries
• Enhance athletic performance and mobility
It’s commonly used to treat conditions like headaches, neck and back pain, sports injuries, nerve entrapments and muscle imbalances.
What to Expect
Treatments are typically comfortable. You may feel a mild ache, twitch, or gentle tingling sensation where the needles are placed. Most people feel relaxed during and after their session.
Your practitioner may combine neurofunctional acupuncture with other hands-on therapies and corrective exercises to help you achieve the best results.
