Target Migraine Pain: Dr Poney Chiang's Treatment Strategies
Dr Poney Chiang explores a Neuro-Meridian approach to migraine — the trigeminal nerve branches involved, precise point location, and clinical case examples. Hosted by Dr Scott Ling. Presented live on 16 June 2024.
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM AEST
Is This Webinar For You?
This session explored the Neuro-Meridian Acupuncture approach to migraine. Dr Poney Chiang worked through the selection of specific Acupuncture points, the neuroanatomical pathways involved, and how these are applied in real clinical scenarios.
Particular attention went to the branches of the trigeminal nerve and the precise location of relevant points, alongside case examples drawn from Dr Chiang's practice.
Whether experienced with migraine cases or newer to the area, attendees came away with a clearer framework for clinical reasoning. The session was conducted in English and closed with a live Q&A.
