Neuro-Meridian Acupuncture

Neuro-Meridian Acupuncture CE program taught by Poney Chiang integrating Chinese classics with modern research to treat pain and neurological diseases.

Training is available in Toronto, Montreal, New York, Australia, and Netherlands. Most patients seek acupuncture mainly for neuro-muscular pain conditions.Yet the typical TCM acupuncture curriculum emphasizes internal medicine at the expense of physical medicine skills. This continuing education program aspires to fill this void in clinical training. Eastern medicine reveres ancient canons as the highest authority whereas Western medicine esteems peer-reviewed journals as the gold standard.Therefore we integrated medical canons with scientific research to create a program that preserves the core values unique to each system. This is an advanced program that trains clinicians to possess the critical and manual skills to treat a wide variety of neuro-muscular pain conditions.Our mission is to prepare acupuncture clinicians to become experts in integrative pain medicine. Program Highlights

-Learn pre-TCM point locations from the first acupuncture manual
-Line-by-line textual analysis of canonical chapters concerned with pain
-Learn to palpate anatomical structures described in the canons
-Learn nerve block needling techniques used in anesthesiology
-Learn needle electromyography (EMG) points used in physiatry
-Clinical case studies demonstrate the application of integrative acupuncture

Excited to be teaching Entrapment & Neuropathy in Irvington in the fall. And looking forward to learning Jing Fang from Dr. Wong

The journey of self-realization is an ongoing pursuit to understand your essence and your purpose in life. The path is often arduous, tiring, and lonely, which can sometimes quell your motivation to undertake this exploration.

First time lecturing in Chinese. On 7/23 I gave a 2 hour presentation for TCM medical residents at China Medical University in TaiChung Taiwan. Thanks to Professor Peter Mayer 馬培德 for making the necessary arrangements. Hope this is the first of many more teaching in Chinese for me in South East Asia. Dr Liu Zheng from Madrid who happened to be taking TCM students from Spain to shadow in the affiliated hospitals, came to introduce himself and show his support. One little step closer to bringing my contribution back to the heartland of Chinese Medicine. 飲水思源

“If I have seen further than others, it is only because I was standing on the shoulder of giants”. Sir Isaac Newton. Preparing slides for a lecture I am giving to TCM residents and faculty at China Medical School in Taiwan 🇹🇼 in two weeks. Summarizing 15 years of research and development into 60 minutes is not easy. Reflecting on how much research, knowledge and skills I’ve contributed to our profession, I take a step back to acknowledge that it would not be possible without the experience and knowledge of my mentor and their mentors. Grateful to call Toronto home, where I was able to be at the right place to bask in the glory of NeuroAnatomical and NeuroFunctional acupuncture.

Taught Module 1 upper extremity, head & neck module in Melbourne June 11-14. Long way to go from Toronto. But when students are willing, I will go the distance. Thanks to Dr Scott Ling for building a following for in the southern hemisphere. Thanks to Anthony Liddell for following me around the world to master my course content so that you have become a competent TA to my workshops in Australia. 🇦🇺. Looking forward to capping off my Australian teaching with module 3 in Tasmania. It will mark the 8th and final time I go to Australian for the near future.

Started the first of 4 workshops series for a new group in Montreal Canada (April 16-19,2026). Thanks for the teaching assistants Isabel P,
Dorathee S, Karl N, Stephan P and Jean-Michel P who provided lots of support during the practical section. Students especially like the cadaver anatomy practical at McGuill University School of Medicine. Thanks to the overseas students for coming, D***y Calor from Netherlands, Pedro Matos from Portugal, Fabio Athayde from Brazil. Always a pleasure to share my research, insight and techniques with integrative minded practitioners from around the world. Last but not least, big thanks for Julie Yew-Hin for organizing, translating and hosting me. Without her support none of this would be possible.

Check out this interesting video by Corey Dillow on the parallel between Dry Needling with classical anatomy, ashi palpation, pain referral and needle technique. This is a good am******on to debunk the myth that dry needling is not acupuncture.
