Why Neuropuncture Exists
Neuropuncture was developed specifically because traditional acupuncture, while valuable, wasn't designed for complex neurological conditions. Dr. Michael Corradino created Neuropuncture as a neuroanatomically-targeted system — selecting treatment points based on neuroscience, not meridian theory. It's designed for conditions where precise neural pathway targeting makes the difference.
Dr. VJ is the only Certified Neuropuncturist practising in the United Kingdom. Combined with his Doctorate in Neuroscience, this makes him uniquely qualified to treat neurological disorders with acupuncture.
Neurological Conditions We Treat
Bell's Palsy
Facial nerve paralysis. Early treatment significantly improves recovery. Targets CN VII pathways, promotes nerve regeneration, and stimulates paralysed facial muscles with electroacupuncture.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Severe facial pain along the trigeminal nerve. Neuroscience acupuncture modulates trigeminal nucleus excitability and activates descending pain inhibition. Often effective when medication fails.
Parkinson's Disease
Symptom management for tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and non-motor symptoms. Targets dopaminergic pathways and reduces neuroinflammation through vagal protocols.
Stroke Recovery
Post-stroke rehabilitation using scalp acupuncture and Neuropuncture. Promotes neuroplasticity, supports motor recovery, and addresses post-stroke pain and spasticity.
Paralysis & Nerve Injury
Peripheral nerve injuries, radiculopathies, and partial paralysis. Electroacupuncture stimulates nerve regeneration and muscle re-education.
Neurodegenerative Disorders
MS, motor neuron disease, and other degenerative conditions. Focus on symptom management, quality of life, and slowing functional decline through neuroprotective protocols.
PTSD & Trauma
Post-traumatic stress through autonomic nervous system regulation. Vagus nerve protocols shift from sympathetic dominance to parasympathetic safety.
Autism Spectrum
Supportive treatment for sensory processing, anxiety, and sleep in autistic individuals. Gentle protocols adapted to sensory sensitivities.
The Neuropuncture Approach
Neuroanatomical Targeting
Every needle placement is based on neuroanatomy — targeting specific nerves, dermatomes, myotomes, and neural pathways rather than traditional meridian points. This produces consistent, replicable outcomes.
Frequency-Specific Electroacupuncture
Different frequencies trigger different neurochemicals: 2Hz → endorphins, 4Hz → vagal anti-inflammatory, 10Hz → melatonin, 15Hz → serotonin, 40Hz → GABA, 100Hz → dynorphin. Dr. VJ selects frequencies based on the neurological target.
Neuroplasticity Promotion
Acupuncture increases BDNF and other neurotrophic factors that support the brain's ability to reorganise — crucial for stroke recovery, nerve regeneration, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Vagus Nerve Protocols
Cymba concha auricular stimulation at 4Hz activates the vagus nerve's anti-inflammatory pathway. This addresses the neuroinflammation underlying many neurological conditions.
Neurological Disorders & Acupuncture — FAQ
Can acupuncture help neurological conditions?
Yes. Neuropuncture was specifically developed for neurological disorders. Dr. VJ is the UK's only Certified Neuropuncturist, with expertise in Parkinson's, Bell's palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, stroke recovery, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Can acupuncture help Bell's palsy?
Yes — particularly with early treatment. Neuroscience acupuncture targets facial nerve pathways, promotes nerve regeneration, and uses electroacupuncture to stimulate paralysed muscles. Research shows significantly improved recovery rates.
Can acupuncture help Parkinson's disease?
It can help manage symptoms including tremor, rigidity, sleep disturbance, and constipation. Treatment targets dopaminergic pathways and reduces neuroinflammation. It's safe alongside Parkinson's medications.
Is this safe alongside my neurologist's treatment?
Yes. Neuroscience acupuncture is complementary — it works alongside neurological medications and treatments without interaction. Dr. VJ can coordinate with your neurologist for optimal care.
