  Our structural, neuro-anatomically and patho-physiologically defined medical acupuncture system greatly facilitates your learning process and clinical practice.
  The Biomedical Acupuncture for Pain Management is a novel model defined by neuroanatomy and neurophysiology and characterized by clinical reproducibility, predictability and standardization while still maintaining all the benefits of the Classical Acupuncture Model. The Biomedical Acupuncture Model is based on biomedical research and clinical evidence collected over the past 40 years.
  "I've taken both the UCLA course in medical acupuncture and the Harvard course and in my opinion your course in Biomedical Acupuncture for Pain Management was the most user-friendly, practical and easiest to implement in clinical practice. The day after the course ended I was able to treat musculoskeletal patients with your techniques with confidence." Dayton Haigney, MD
  Biomedical Acupuncture is a clinical modality for pain management and permits you to implement medical acupuncture in an unprecedented short time in your daily practice in the context of your biomedical knowledge.
  The underlying neuro-immuno-endocrino-cardial mechanisms triggered by needling that enable the body to activate the self-healing capacity of the living system are part of built-in survival mechanisms in biological systems. These mechanisms are what have enabled the longevity of acupuncture over centuries.
  Our Biomedical Acupuncture Model clinically and theoretically represents these biomedical mechanisms. Biomedical Acupuncture will help you to better understand and incorporate medical acupuncture as an adjunct or complimentary therapy into your daily practice without undergoing the complex and time-consuming process of learning antiquated procedures of the empirical model of classical acupuncture.
