This is a term used by the Canadian McMasters University - Health Sciences where they define it as 'Neurofunctional Treatment of Pain and Dysfunction'  More specifically they write 'it is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique, in which fine solid needles (acupuncture needles) are inserted into anatomically defined neurofunctional sites, and stimulated manually or with electricity for the therapeutic purpose of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system and/or the endocrine, exocrine and immune systems, in pain syndromes, functional problems, and any diseases in which these modulatory mechanisms are available. Neuromodulation occurs through neurological and neurohumoral mechanisms at multiple levels, namely: peripheral nerves, spinal cord, brain stem, brain and cerebellum'

The majority of Western Medical Acupuncture practitioners do not believe in the holistic traditional acupuncture concepts but regard Western Medical, Modern, Contemporary and Neurofunctional Acupuncture as part of orthodox medicine.
