Neuro-Meridian Integrative Acupuncture: Upper Extremity - Update

Course overview

This one of a kind program preserves the core values unique to Eastern and Western Medicine by analyzing Chinese medical classics while citing peer reviewed biomedical research articles. The classical point location taught here is based on descriptions from the Ling Shu and Jia Yi Jing Systematic Classic, which often differs from modern TCM standardized locations. This program will reveal the seamless overlap between classical point locations and the detailed location of peripheral nerve trunks and its branches, whereas many modern locations have drifted away from peripheral nerves as point targets. Together we will rediscover the original intention behind the LingShu and Jia Yi Jing as detailed records of precise locations for stimulating specific nerve branches. Learning the peripheral neuroanatomy of classical point locations deepens ones understanding of channel theory. By developing an appreciation for an integrative NeuroMeridians concept, students learn to apply an integrative strategy to treat a wide variety of neuromuscular dysfunctions commonly seen in clinical practice.
