Unlock the Power of Neuropuncture:
Discover the Intersection of Neuroscience and Acupuncture
This Neuropuncture 2-Day Workshop is an immersive, hands-on workshop designed to advance clinical skills in neuroscience electro-acupuncture neuromodulation. This event is open to licensed acupuncture professionals and final year senior students looking to integrate cutting-edge neuroscience-based electro-acupuncture techniques into their practice.
MASTER TARGETED TREATMENTS FOR
Internal Medicine Conditions
Apply evidence-based Neuropuncture prescriptions for complex conditions like Parkinson’s, AFib, Hypertension, and Type II Diabetes, while gaining the neuroscientific language necessary to communicate your clinical results to patients and medical professionals with absolute confidence.
Master Electro-Acupuncture
Learn evidence-based Neuropuncture strategies, techniques, and prescriptions grounded in neuroscience that you can implement in your practice immediately to address internal medicine conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, hypertension, atrial fibrillation (AFib), and Type II diabetes.
WHY ATTEND
The Professional Gap
Many practitioners struggle to explain how acupuncture works to skeptical patients and Western MDs, often falling back on abstract concepts that don’t translate in a medical setting. This lack of biological clarity can lead to inconsistent clinical results and “referral anxiety.”
End Clinical Uncertainty
Stop wondering if your points will “fire” correctly. Gain hands-on mastery of Neuropuncture prescriptions designed to produce predictable, repeatable biological responses. You won’t just learn where to needle—you’ll learn exactly which neural pathways you are modulating.
Speak the Language of Modern Medicine
Traditional TCM is beautiful, but it can leave you isolated from the broader healthcare system. We provide the 21st-century neuroscientific insights you need to communicate your value to neurologists and cardiologists, positioning you as an essential specialist in internal medicine.
Master Complex Internal Cases
Internal medicine cases—like Parkinson’s, Diabetes, and Hypertension—can be intimidating. Elevate your practice from basic pain management to high-level clinical excellence by mastering evidence-based prescriptions that target the root neurological dysfunctions of these conditions.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This workshop is designed to elevate the clinical "biological" reasoning of the entire acupuncture profession.
Veteran Practitioners
Refine your existing expertise with a modern, scientific layer to boost patient retention and referrals.
Recent Graduates
Bridge the gap between school and private practice with “Monday-morning-ready” skills that yield immediate results.

“Learning Neuropuncture has been a definite game changer for me as an Acupuncture Physician. The alliance of Neuropuncture, scalp acupuncture, electric auriculotherapy with the western medical knowledge of neuroscience and neurological rehabilitation produce remarkable results with just a few needles and bears no comparison with practicing solely traditional acupuncture.”
