Neurofunctional Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that uses acupuncture needles or other modalities of biophysical stimulation to produce somatic neuromodulatory effects.

To do so, any neuroreactive zone of the human body can be the target of the interventions whereas it is related previously to a diagnosis of neural sensitization, whether on local, segmental or suprasegmental levels.

The choice and the depth of the places to be stimulated depend, overall, on the neurophisiological proprieties of the structures that are being stimulated and the predictable effects about the organic dysfunction diagnosed.
