How It Works
Very fine, sterile needles are placed in specific areas of the body to help stimulate the nervous system and reduce pain signals.
This may help:
- Reduce pain sensitivity
- Improve muscle function
- Support tissue recovery
- Improve mobility and movement
In some cases, mild electrical stimulation may be used. Needles are typically left in place for 10 to 15 minutes.
What It Helps With
Neurofunctional acupuncture may help with:
- Neck and back pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatica and nerve pain
- Muscle tightness and joint pain
- Sports injuries
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Chronic or persistent pain
What to Expect
Treatment is generally well tolerated and adjusted to your comfort level.
Your chiropractor will assess your condition to determine whether neurofunctional acupuncture is appropriate and whether it should be combined with other treatments such as adjustments, soft tissue therapy, or rehabilitation exercises.
Is This the Same as Traditional Acupuncture?
No. Neurofunctional acupuncture used in chiropractic care is based on modern neuroscience and clinical anatomy. It is different from Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture, which is based on meridian and energy theory.
