Neurological conditions can significantly affect quality of life, mobility, cognition, and emotional wellbeing. Acupuncture is increasingly used as a supportive, integrative therapy alongside conventional medical care.
From a neurological perspective, acupuncture influences neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganise. By stimulating specific sensory pathways, acupuncture may help regulate nervous system activity, improve circulation to the brain, and support functional recovery.
Conditions commonly supported include:
• Migraines and chronic headaches
• Post-stroke recovery and rehabilitation
• ADHD and attention difficulties
• Autism spectrum support
• Parkinson’s disease
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
In Chinese medicine, the brain is closely related to the Kidney, Heart, and Liver systems. Neurological symptoms are often associated with deficiencies, internal wind, or disharmony affecting these systems. Treatment focuses on calming the nervous system, nourishing vital substances, and restoring internal balance.
While acupuncture does not replace medical treatment, acupuncture is beneficial for symptom management, functional improvement, and overall wellbeing when used as part of a coordinated care approach.
