The basic idea about Neuro-Acupuncture is easy to describe and understand.

Neural regulation operates through a binary system consisting of two primary types of signals: excitatory and inhibitory.

  • Excitatory signals work to depolarize the neuron, which increases the probability that it will fire an electrical impulse known as an action potential.

  • Inhibitory signals act as a biological "brake" by hyperpolarizing the neuron, making it less likely to fire.

The interplay between these two opposing forces is what allows for the complex regulation of neural circuits throughout the nervous system.

Using traditional acupuncture techniques, needles are inserted in the scalp and stimulated in specific ways to cause a response in nearby brain cells. Brain cells in different areas of the brain control functions in different parts of the body. Needles are stimulated to modulate the excitatory response or inhibitory response. Based on an understanding of the neurological problem and the area of the brain that regulates it, Neuro-Acupuncture creates its therapeutic effects.
