Neurological with acupcunture and low level laser

While many neurological diseases, for instance stroke, require immediate life saving treatment by western medicine, the chronic long term effects of this and other debilitating neurological disease is less well dealt with by western medicine. 

However, specialist neurological physiotherapy is one treatment that is essential for recovery for lost function. Along side this, acupuncture has shown very positive effects on the alleviation of symptoms for a variety of conditions. 

The systems I use at the clinic was discovered by Dr. Zhu Ming Qing (Zhu Style Scalp Acupuncture) and Dr Jiao Shunfa (Jiao Style Scalp Acupuncture), who both is world famous for their work in helping stroke patients and patient who suffers from neurological disorders in their recovery. 

By combining Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and western anatomy, points along the scalp are used to stimulate the brain and increase blood flow to the affected area. This technique is now being call Neuroacupuncture . In short neuroaupuncture is a contemporary acupuncture technique integrating traditional Chinese needling methods and scalp acupuncture with western medical knowledge of neurology, neuroscience, and neurological rehabilitation. 

Neuroacupuncture is an advanced skill, most effective in the treatment of acute and chronic central nervous system disorders, often producing remarkable results with just a few needles. 

How does Scalp Acupuncture (Neuroacupuncture) work?

Through the central nervous and endocrine systems, the structural, metabolic, hormonal and energetic functions of the brain are accessible at specific areas of the scalp surface.  By stimulating these reflex areas within the scalp, through special manipulation, we can regulate and harmonise the functional activities of the brain and body.  

Scalp Acupuncture is most commonly used for post-stroke and neurological issues. 

How safe is scalp (Neuroacupuncture) acupuncture?

Acupuncture in general is very safe when performed by a qualified professional.  Though the scalp is uniquely innervated and highly vascularized there is no major risk of heavy bleeding.  I use sterile, single-use needles and always follow antiseptic protocols so there is limited risk of infection.
