Neurofunctional Acupuncture

*Neurofunctional Sports Performance Acupuncture can be considered to be the treatment of pain, movement disorders and common disturbances of the autonomic and central Nervous Systems, visceral and systemic regulation as well as neuromodulation of nociception.

To restore neuromotor function as well as modulate the function of the nervous system in order to enhance and optimize performance, Neurofunctional Acupuncture utilizes a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique, in which fine solid needles (acupuncture needles) are inserted into anatomically defined neurofunctional sites, and stimulated manually or with electricity for the therapeutic purpose of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system and/or the endocrine, exocrine and immune systems, in pain syndromes, functional problems, and any diseases in which these modulatory mechanisms are available. Neuromodulation occurs through neurological and neurohumoral mechanisms at multiple levels, namely: peripheral nerves, spinal cord, brain stem, brain and cerebellum.

*Neurofunctional Sports Performance Acupuncture is taught by Dr. Alejandro Elorriaga Claraco at the McMaster Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program and the Neurofunctional Sports Performance Practitioner and Specialist Programs.
