The Neuro-Meridian approach to acupuncture suits practitioners who aspire to enhance their clinical effectiveness and become leaders in the emerging field of acupuncture neurology. Learn how to diagnose, assess, and treat pain using novel integrated techniques for the modern clinical practice. 

Dr. Poney Chiang, Professor at York University

The Neuro-Meridian Acupuncture Certification Program is a post-graduate advanced training modeled after the Professional Practice Certificate program offered at York University. The certification program covers how to treat pain and neurological dysfunction informed by a neuroanatomical understanding of the body while adhering to Classical Chinese Medicine theories to provide patient-centered care.  

It includes 78 contact hours of lecture, practical training, demonstration, clinical hands-on skills practicum, and cadaver/anatomy lab. It will be conveniently delivered in three (3) modules. Each module is held over four (4) consecutive days. 

Learning Outcomes: 

1. Interpret the neurovascular system as the Jing-Mai system to understand the anatomical basis of point functions. 

2. Gain proficiency in electro-modulating various branches of the sensory, motor, and autonomic nervous system. 

3. Perfect the practitioner’s skill in neuro-meridian plucking, obtaining the correct De Qi sensation unique to each point through the knowledge of neuro-anatomy and channel theory.
