The Neurology of Acupuncture for Stroke, Insomnia, Mood Imbalances, Hypertension, Parkinson's & Alzheimer's

Course overview

This course builds on foundational knowledge to explore acupuncture's clinical role in treating specific neurological conditions. This advanced course examines stroke recovery, insomnia, Parkinson's disease, hypertension, psychiatric illness, and Alzheimer's disease through both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles and modern neuroscience. Each module reviews neurophysiological mechanisms, key neurotransmitters, and research-backed protocols to enhance treatment effectiveness. Learners will gain insight into acupuncture's ability to promote neuroplasticity, regulate neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and acetylcholine, and balance the autonomic nervous system. Clinical trials and neuroimaging studies are analyzed to support integration into modern practice. This course is designed for licensed acupuncturists and TCM professionals looking to elevate their understanding of neurological care. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to apply acupuncture safely and effectively across a range of neurological conditions.
