Description

This course is designed for modern acupuncture clinicians who want to integrate advanced, evidence-based neurological examination techniques into their practice. Participants will learn to assess central and peripheral nervous system function with a focus on the brain’s lobes, cerebellum, brainstem, and the autonomic nervous system. Through practical, functional assessments, acupuncturists will gain the skills needed to better understand their patients’ neurological status and enhance clinical outcomes. Developed by the Carrick Institute, this program prepares the acupuncturist of the future for a brain-based, systems-oriented practice.

What you’ll learn:

  • Understand the structure and functional roles of the brain lobes, cerebellum, brainstem, and autonomic nervous system.
  • Perform functional assessments of the cortex, cerebellum, brainstem, and autonomic systems.
  • Evaluate the relationship between peripheral nervous system function and central nervous system health.
  • Integrate neurological exam techniques into acupuncture clinical practice for better diagnostic accuracy.
