Neuropuncture™
What is Neuropuncture™?
Neuropuncture™ is a modern acupuncture technique that integrates the principles of 21st-century neuroscience with traditional Chinese acupuncture practices. The goal is to enhance the therapeutic effects of acupuncture by targeting specific nerve pathways to regulate, rehabilitate and modulate the nervous system to restore homeostasis, balance, and health.
Unlike traditional manual acupuncture, Neuropuncture™ incorporates electrical stimulation, passing a mild electric current through the acupuncture needles to enhance the effects on the nervous system. The frequency and intensity of the electrical stimulation are adjusted to target specific treatment outcomes.
Dr. Joel de Vera Moncada is a certified neuropuncturist. As one of the only certified in neuropuncturists in California, he has received intense PhD level training focused on the human nervous system, the neuroscience of acupuncture and its clinical applications.
Your Ritual Neuropuncturist will select acupuncture points based on their location near nerves that are involved with your specific condition and focus on healing and repairing the cause of your condition.
Neuropuncture™ aims to modulate the nervous system by influencing the release of neurotransmitters, altering pain perception, and promoting neuroplasticity. By targeting specific nerve pathways, it seeks to provide more precise and effective treatments for various conditions.
Neuropuncture can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Chronic Pain: By targeting specific neural pathways involved in pain perception, Neuropuncture can help reduce chronic pain from arthritis, back pain and migraines.
- Neurological Disorders: Conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, stroke rehabilitation and multiple sclerosis may benefit from Neuropuncture through modulation of nerve function and reduced inflammation. Studies report that Neuropuncture is an effective treatment for tinnitus and hearing loss.
- Mental Health: Neuropuncture may assist in treating anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress-related disorders by influencing neurotransmitter balance and neural regulation.
- Musculoskeletal Injuries: Condition such as tendonitis, muscle spasms and sports injuries can benefit from Neuropuncture.
- Digestive Issues: Such as irritable bowel syndrome and other GI disorders
By integrating modern neuroscience with traditional practices, Neuropuncture™ offers a more precise approach to acupuncture, which provides a more targeted and effective approach to treatment which can lead to better therapeutic outcomes. The use of electrical stimulation can enhance the effects of traditional acupuncture, providing additional therapeutic benefits. Neuropuncture™ ability to target specific neurological pathways makes it suitable for a wider range of conditions, including those that may not respond well to traditional acupuncture alone.
By utilizing electrical stimulation and a deep understanding of the nervous system, Neuropuncture™ aims to modulate pain, promote healing, and improve overall neurological function. This innovative approach provides a valuable addition to the range of therapeutic options available for various medical conditions.
