“Neuropuncture gives the acupuncturist the tools to not only perform evidence-based treatments to patients in need, but also understand the neuroscience of how acupuncture works. I can finally say that I am comfortable and confident in treating many conditions not because of my 4 yr training in the traditional energetic model, but because I studied Neuropuncture.”
