Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is
an effective and simple treatment approach based on current concepts of
neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and pathophysiology. Insertion of solid needles
and use of electrical stimulation are the foundation of this approach.

Acupuncture effects on humans
include muscle relaxation, pain modulation, changes in autonomic activity
(vasomotor tone, cardiac rhythm, peristalsis), diverse neuroendocrine and
immune responses, general relaxation, and a feeling of psychophysical well
being.

 

A health professional finishing this
course will be able to design effective and safe acupuncture treatments for
musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, and common states of disregulation.

 

These courses are exclusive for DCs,
MDs, OTs, PTs, NDs, RMTs and RNs. 

Registration does not necessarily
mean acceptance to course, all applicants must first be approved by a Credentials
Committee.

Dates are
