Kitcho Neurofunctional & advanced Acupuncture

 

This treatment is designed following the tenets of best evidence practice (evidence-based medicine),

and the topics of the curriculum include

 

the latest contemporary scientific medical knowledge

about the treatment of pain and dysfunction

 using neurofunctional acupuncture and electro acupuncture.

 

 

 

Contemporary Acupuncture aims to bridge the

 gap between classical acupuncture therapy

and contemporary medicine to achieve their ultimate integration.

 

Quite often you will see this technique referred to as, Neurofunctional Acupuncture because it is

rooted on current concepts of

neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and pathophysiology.

 

 Its primary benefit is to restore proper function of the nervous system by either the up-regulation

or down-regulation of specific cellular functions.

 

 To put it simply, if the nervous system is hyper-active

 as seen in stress and chronic pain cases

or hypo-active as seen in muscle inhibition

 and weakness, we need to bring it back to normal,

optimal level of function by either turning it down or

turning it up respectively. Essentially, we are

adjusting the "dimmer" switch you would use

in a home for controlling the level of light output.

 

 

It involves a comfortable insertion of small

solid single-use disposable needles at relevant

points on the body in combination with manual needle stimulation or electrical stimulation.

 

Our practitioners have completed the Contemporary Acupuncture program, which focuses on the science

 based application of acupuncture.
