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.
