Neoclassical Acupuncture

After a couple of years of practicing NCA, I want to say that this system is a life changer! I've seen miracles that never saw with other styles.  I dare to say that NCA is right now the best acupuncture technique worldwide. Thank you Slate Burris for making this possible! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

"Learning Neoclassical Acupuncture has been the most transformative journey for my acupuncture practice. This system has reignited my love for acupuncture, and all of my patients who I've transitioned over to this style are absolutely loving the results. This is how I always imagined acupuncture should be practiced - the patient's body is the guide and the feedback is instantaneous! I have completed the Foundations, Advanced, and Masterclass with Slate, and all of the classes have been absolutely outstanding. Slate has created a brilliant production for teaching the online classes while forming personal connections with all of the students, and then the in-person Masterclasses really solidifies what you've learnt online while forming a deeper connection with Slate and your peers. Slate attracts truly wonderful humans to his classes and has brilliantly created a supportive Neoclassical community among the students. I am so deeply grateful to Slate for his years of dedication and passion to unearth all of this magnificence and sharing it with us all. His warmth, sense of humor, and ability to connect with his students is a beautiful thing, and I consider myself lucky to be a part of the Neoclassical community. Thank you, Slate!"

My world of acupuncture was completely changed after learning Neoclassical Acupuncture.  Dr. Slate Burris is a Genius! Now I know how to treat complex cases with confidence.  The results are like magic I highly recommend to all acupuncturists to master NCA and fall in love with acupuncture all over again.

My practice has changed in that I see incredible results, not just with pain but other concerns practicing NCA and I really appreciate the palpatory nature of the style…… One of the most profound aspects of practicing NCA is the immediate feedback that happens- a pain or tension will exist in the abdomen or legs indicating a deeper imbalance and after the needle is inserted and the point found, the pain/tension dissipates almost immediately. That part never gets old and it is great watching the patient's surprise at the immediacy….My practice is feeling more and more like what I have dreamed of and envisioned; why I went to school to become an acupuncturist in the first place. People are reporting massive changes- things like 'this is the best my feet have felt in years, I feel like I have my life back' or a level 9/10 disc herniation pain goes down to zero in 5 treatments, or after one treatment shoulder pain gone completely and still gone six months later. 

I am still surprised with the results that I have with this system! When I went to acupuncture school, I hoped for something that would make a difference in other people’s lives. I was soon disillusioned. Thanks to your sharing your method I have regained my confidence and happiness. My life changed because you shared your method with others. It has really changed my view about how potent our medicine can be.

After my medical degree I pursued a Master in Science and Phd. at Nanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine University. After completing I wanted to further my studies in acupuncture, and in that search I found Slate Burris. I studied with him for a year and discovered that his research in neoclassical Chinese acupuncture is groundbreaking. The method which he invented is based on ancient texts, however you cannot find his methods anywhere around. When I learned his system of acupuncture, I realized that it can be applied to any condition with astounding immediate clinical improvement. I firmly believe that his method is nothing short of revolutionary in the acupuncture field.

Teaching is amazing! The energy of the lecturer is transmitted through the screen! This is happiness and a real discovery. I have been studying TCM for 14 years in various schools; Tan and Tung styles were also serious breakthroughs for my practice, but what I saw in this training was unbelievable! I understand what the highest professionalism is behind all this and that simplicity here is also a reflection deep knowledge and skills that our teacher possesses. This course is a real treasure and this unique knowledge is presented with great love.

After practicing with NCA for the last 10 months, the results are outstanding. This is the most amazing method of Acupuncture l have ever learnt in 27 years of practice.
I have been fortunate to have done all the courses that Dr Slate Burris a modern day master, teaches and would highly recommend you do them, so that your practice just goes to another level,
Would give 10 stars if it was possible.

This course is what I’ve been waiting for since I graduated nearly 6 years ago. I’ve loved every minute. Exciting to be a part of the future of acupuncture.

These courses opened up completely new horizons for me, a doctor with 35 years of experience in acupuncture. I was always in search of the most optimal and acceptable approaches. I studied in China many times in different places from Harbin to Guangzhou, but I always felt that I didn’t know something important. And now everything has fallen into place, the results are simply amazing.

The Neoclassical system, developed by Dr. Burris is based on ancient Chinese texts but with clear differences from the techniques commonly taught here in North America. Dr. Burris has developed a system with which almost all patients see drastic decrease in symptomatic complaints from the moment of needle insertion.

I have been familiar with acupuncture for a long time.  I studied it under the guidance of Vietnamese masters!  But meeting Slate Burris completely changed my ideas about this science! Everything fell into place:  a coherent system, the logic of needle manipulation and feedback, and most importantly amazing results!  I am very grateful to Master Slate Burris for his brainchild, Neoclassical Acupuncture.  A wonderful teacher and just a good person.  With deep respect. 

This is an original system and extremely effective. The course is the creme of acupuncture without a bunch of beating around the bush. Students get a shift in paradigm of what they previously thought of acupuncture. With this training my life has taken an enormous turn.

Dr. Slate Burris’s Neoclassical Acupuncture is the most out of this planet, amazing method of acupuncture. With minimal needling, the treatment is able to clear stubborn and persistent symptoms. I love being an acupuncturist.. but I think now I love it a million times more. Thanks so much Dr. Burris for your adventurous spirit.
