Neuro-Acupuncture is a contemporary acupuncture technique which integrates classical Chinese needling with neuroscience. It is also referred to as scalp acupuncture because specific areas of the scalp are needled to stimulate the underlying brain cells. 

Neuro-Acupuncture is extremely safe and effective. It requires very few needles and effects are often seen immediately. Most commonly used for post-stroke recovery, Neuro-Acupuncture in fact treats many other neurological problems: Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, phantom pain, PTSD, Autism, anxiety, and pain.

Neuro-Acupuncture is based on the latest scientific understanding of brain area functioning and neuroplasticity. By stimulating areas associated with motor, sensory or other functional impairment, brain cells are induced to make new connections and surrounding neurons are recruited to reform circuitry and restore the lost abilities.

At Needles of Hope we practice both Jiao style scalp acupuncture as taught by Dr Jason and Linda Hao (more information can be found at the Neuro-Acupuncture Institute’s website), as well as Zhu’s scalp acupuncture as taught by Dr. Mingqing Zhu and more recently by Dr. James Lu at HOPE Neuroacupuncture Rehab.

Here are some videos to give you a feel for what neuro-acupuncture is, and how it works. The first is a special report from Global Dragon TV on Neuro-Acupuncture.

The second video, put out by Dr. Jason Hao’s Neuro-Acupuncture Institute, interviews patients suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injury.

Neuroacupuncture can transform the lives of people who suffer from PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury / Concussion! Focusing primarily on the treatment of central nervous system disorder, Neuroacupuncture produces remarkable results in the treatment of PTSD and TBI, Concussion, and many other CNS disorders.
