The Efficacy of Scalp Acupuncture

Scalp acupuncture: the process

Alternatively known as neuroacupuncture, this treatment combines knowledge of TCM, traditional acupuncture needling and neurology; thus, it requires a certified practitioner who is versed in the use of acupuncture for neurological conditions. At our new facility in Park Slope, you will meet with a fully-certified neuroacupuncture practitioner, in a dedicated acupuncture room, who will walk you through the process and answer all questions and reservations you may have.

At a basic level, neuroacupuncture is effective because it directly stimulates the brain cells which correspond to your impairment. It helps to restore function and stimulate aid to the brain cells which are misfiring and encourages a general realignment of the brain system in support of your condition. As for the actual process, acupuncture needles are inserted into thin layer of tissue under your scalp that protects the skull. 

If you are interested in finding out more about neuroacupuncture and its role in treating brain injuries, give our office in Park Slope a call to schedule an appointment today.
