About NeuroMeridian Acupuncture:
This groundbreaking program uniquely combines today's advanced biomedical knowledge with the rich traditions of classical acupuncture. This allows acupuncturists to increase their skills in a scientifically supported manner with advanced techniques in the field of neurostimulation and DeQi sensation.
The teaching program provided by Poney Chiang, PhD, provides an in-depth understanding of neuroanatomy and applies this knowledge directly to acupuncture through advanced techniques such as electro-neuromodulation of acupuncture points. These methods are particularly aimed at treating conditions affecting the peripheral and central nervous systems, providing a robust framework for practitioners to enhance their therapeutic skills.
The focus of this program is on hands-on practical training, allowing participants to gain direct experience with these advanced techniques, ensuring that attendees not only understand the theoretical underpinnings of the methods taught but are also able to apply them effectively in their own practices. The theoretical part of this course discusses neuroanatomy, MRI research and what the dissection of cadaver acupoints has revealed regarding the physiological mechanisms behind acupuncture points and meridians.
Modern Scientific East-West Integration
What also makes this program unique is the integration of classical acupuncture wisdom with the neuromyofascial structures. Poney Chiang has been able to integrate both thanks to his deep understanding of the NeiJing, his deciphering of the channel theory, his practical skills regarding palpation and needling techniques and his extensive biomedical and anatomical knowledge through original research. This well-thought-out mix of contemporary scientific research and age-old traditional knowledge ensures that participants receive a broadly oriented, well-structured training and that they occupy a unique place in the acupuncture field.
Program topics for the Certification Program
Poney Chiang’s unique training program integrates the following traditional and biomedical acupuncture paradigms and methodologies:
• Channel Plucking/Neuro-Palpation
• Modern Point Drifting: Re-anchored Classical Locations
• Channel Sinew Neuromyofascial Anatomy
• Acupoint Neuroanatomy
• Ashi/Trigger Point & Motor Point
• Electro-Neuromodulation
• Segmental Acupuncture
• Auricular Acupuncture for ANS & CNS Stimulation
• MRI-verified Scalp Acupuncture System
How You Will Benefit:
• Elevate your practice with intensive training in three core skill sets:
- Trigger point & motor points needling
- Peripheral nerve palpation and electro-modulation
- Central nervous system stimulation
• Hands-on clinical skills practicum through supervised group practices
• Analyze passages from TCM classics relevant to pain, channel theory, and needle technique
• All techniques taught are evidence-based and proven to effectively treat pain and neurological conditions
What You Will Learn:
• Refine muscle, tendon, trigger point, and neuro-palpation skills
• Hone advanced needling skills: elicit local twitch response, de-irritate cutaneous nerves, de-inhibit motor nerve trunks, predict and confirm the correct DeQi sensation for individual acupoints
• Communicate the inter-relationship between the channel system and neurovascular system
• Explain the cause-and-effect between trigger points, nerve entrapment, and channel pathways
• Learn to design patient-centered prescriptions using the S.M.A.R.T guideline to address sensory, motor, autonomic, radicular, and trigger points
• Obtain consistent clinical results using our protocols for orthopedic and neurological conditions
You will therefore not only acquire new skills but also understand the science behind acupuncture, thereby elevating the practice from an art to a science-based discipline. This aspect is particularly appealing to practitioners who value evidence-based approaches but also respect the historical and cultural significance of traditional Chinese medicine.
