Neurofunctional Electroacupuncture: Science-based secrets to the treatment of "Pain with Movement" disorders
1 hour
Overview:
This one-hour webinar introduces participants to the science-based principles of Neurofunctional Electroacupuncture, a contemporary, neuroanatomy-driven approach to peripheral nerve stimulation for the management of the pervasive "Pain with Movement" disorders that form the core of any physiotherapy practice. This neurophysiology-based treatment approach complements physiotherapists’ current frameworks of practice by enhancing results on the areas of autonomic nervous system modulation, neuromotor control, and nociception & pain modulation.
