Traditional Chinese Acupuncture.
The Chinese have a very mythical and poetic explanation of acupuncture's empirical use. It is based on the principal of a flow of energy around the body in channels called meridians. When a person is ill, this flow of energy (Chi) is thrown into a state of imbalance. Inserting acupuncture needles into acupuncture points on the meridians attempts to re-establish harmony, in an effort to restore the patient to health.
Traditional acupuncture uses these meridians and points although they can not be demonstrated in a scientific way. We were certainly not developed millions of years ago with acupuncture points waiting for someone to discover them.
The laws of traditional acupuncture are indeed ancient. Much use is made of pulse and tongue diagnosis. These, and the laws of the five elements i.e. Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood, Yin and Yang form the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Many of the laws of traditional acupuncture actually contradict themselves, making them very difficult to use.
Despite this, and not because of this, traditional acupuncture does work well, but will not work at all if the nerve supplying the area stimulated by an acupuncture needle is not intact.
Although, the meridians can not be demonstrated in any scientific way, observation shows that they all lie over the top of the major nerves of the peripheral nervous system.

Neuro Acupuncture.
Neuro acupuncture uses the nervous system itself. 
Placing needles, painlessly and accurately, close to nerve roots and nerve bifurcations, causes the body to respond immediately, stimulating the autonomic nervous system into creating homeostasis. In other words, its best natural environment.                                      The system is called neuronyxis.
Tracing peripheral nerves into the spinal cord often through autonomic plexuses and then on to their ultimate destination in the brain, allows us control over what stimulation of that nerve, or combination of nerves, will achieve. The treatment of visceral problems is a much more accurate procedure as internal organs can be precisely targeted.
By carefully and painlessly inserting acupuncture needles into specific combinations of these important points, points that are not taught in any acupuncture school or college, the results achieved by Dr. Landale are outstanding.
There are areas of the body where the cranial nerves can be affected, enabling us to control many conditions previously thought impossible. 
There are far less 'rules' in Neuro Acupuncture but a much deeper detailed
knowledge of anatomy and an even greater knowledge of neurology is required in order to use it safely. It is also essential of course, if good results are to be obtained, that the practitioner is also conversant with the use of traditional acupuncture.
Although traditional acupuncture can be used for pain relief, it is usually of short duration. With Neuro acupuncture one obtains greater relief and it is sustained over longer periods of time. Far fewer treatments are required to get the patient back to normal health.
