Neurofunctional Acupuncture is a contemporary method that targets the nervous system to restore balance to nerves, muscles and joints. Neurofunctional Acupuncture is a stimulation of the peripheral nervous system, central nervous system and supraspinal modulation using acupuncture and electric stimulation for therapeutic purposes. These treatments are performed to induce analgesia in muscles and joints by: stimulating an increase of blood flow, and activation of endogenous pain inhibitory systems. Simply put this treatment has the potential to break the pain pathway and reduce pain associated with irritation of various nerves, correct muscle imbalances/dysfunction, and decrease inflammation of local tissue structures
