Neurofunctional Acupuncture at Sinar Treatments

How acupuncture works

An ancient practice, applied with modern precision.

As an ancient Chinese medicinal practice, acupuncture directly targets imbalances in the body’s Qi (or energy flow) by applying pressure to specific points across the body. Using ultra-thin needles, our orthopedic-trained acupuncturists insert needles into specific pressure points based on your diagnosis, discomfort, and health goals.

Once inserted, these needles interrupt the current flow of your Qi and trigger your central nervous system to release endorphins, the chemical in your body that is a natural pain reliever and mood booster to your muscles, brain, and spinal cord. Your body has 2,000 acupuncture points that can trigger biochemical changes and tap into your body’s internal ability to self-heal.

Medical Acupuncture

Medical / neurofunctional acupuncture is a precise technique that involves manual or electronic stimulation of the needles, administered at specific neuro-reactive sites with the purpose of neuromodulation — the influence of the nervous system to regulate itself in response to both internal and external stimuli.

A neurofunctional approach is tailored to the most common dysfunctions and injuries associated with pain: biomechanical, neurological, muscular, and psychoemotional. It is meant to allow the nervous system to self-regulate, which then promotes positive change at a neurological, cellular, and metabolic level.
