Dr. Michael D. Corradino is a pioneer and leader in the field of neuroscience acupuncture, a system that integrates 21st-century medical sciences with classical acupuncture. He is the founder and president of Neuropuncture, Inc., an organization that conducts research and provides education on neuroscience acupuncture. He is also a board member of the California Acupuncture Board, an international speaker, a published author, and a doctorate degree holder in acupuncture and oriental medicine.

Dr. Corradino has developed a unique acupuncture system that combines traditional Chinese medical philosophy with Western medical scientific analysis in the area of neuroscience and biochemistry. He has created and researched new treatment prescriptions of electric acupuncture that are evidence-based and reproducible in a clinical setting. He has applied his system successfully to treat various conditions, such as pain management, neuromuscular disorders, internal medicine, and general well-being.

Dr. Corradino has over 30 years of clinical experience in hospital settings and multi-disciplinary medical centers. He has taught Neuropuncture all over the world, including Israel, New Zealand, Australia, Denmark, Belgium, China, and North America. He has also offered Neuropuncture human cadaver lab training at medical surgical centers to expose practitioners to the highest level of medical training. He has published several books on Neuropuncture neuroscience acupuncture and multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals.

Dr. Corradino’s passion is to bring acupuncture into the center of mainstream medicine and bridge the gap between Western and Eastern medical paradigms. He is currently involved in groundbreaking research in electro-acupuncture in the area of neurodegenerative diseases, spinal cord injury, stem cell proliferation, and opioid receptors and addiction. He is committed to offering the best quality of integrated, scientific, traditional Chinese medicine to the public and uplifting the standards of acupuncture training in the world.

Dr. Corradino is honored to be the second graduate of Neuropuncture’s Doctor of Neuroscience Acupuncture (DNA).

Brian Lau, AP, C.SMA has 15 years of experience in movement therapy, structural therapy and acupuncture. He began in 1998 with study in tai chi, qigong, liu he ba fa and other internal Taoist arts, which produced such profound changes in his structure and alignment that it propelled his existing interest in health into fulltime professional study. After becoming certified in structural integration (the body of work developed by Dr. Ida Rolf), he went on to study Biomechanics with advanced rolfer Liz Gaggini and fascial connections with advanced rolfer and KMI director Tom Myers. Having developed a focus on internal movement of organs from his Taoist internal practice, Brian also studied visceral manipulation, first with Liz Gaggini and later with the Barral Institute.

While Brian found these manual practices to be powerful tools to effect change in his patients, he noted that internal organ function was often the driving force in patient pathology. He therefore intensified his training by studying Traditional Chinese Medicine. While TCM greatly increased his scope of practice, he did not find it expanded on his previous work so much as it offered another system to use. The Sports Medicine Acupuncture Certification program offered a methodology that bridged the gap between structural theory and the medicine of TCM; Brian entered SMAC intent on fully integrating TCM with his background in structural integration and Taoist internal practices.
