In June, we hosted Dr. Ayla Wolf, DAOM, L.Ac. Dipl. OM (NCCAOM) from Acupuncture Neurology for her free webinar, Vagal Nerve Stimulation: How, Where, & Why.

About This Webinar:

Vagal Nerve Stimulation is a medical treatment that is gaining more and more attention for the treatment of many disorders including depression, migraines, chronic pain, opiate addiction, epilepsy, and chronic stress. In this webinar, Ayla Wolf will describe the neuroanatomy involved in the vagus nerve and its associated structures and central projections in the brain. She will cover what parasympathetic tone is, how a loss of parasympathetic tone manifests clinically, and highlight recent research on electro-acupuncture vagal nerve stimulation, and parameters for providing vagal nerve stimulation in clinical practice.
