Acquire the basic skills to apply Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA) to patients with acute or chronic pain or a neurological disease. Japanese physician Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto developed this system in 1973 to treat neurological conditions. It’s so effective and immediate in stroke patients with pain or restricted mobility that it has become one of the most frequently used forms of acupuncture, providing not only symptomatic but sometimes curative relief. YNSA comprises basic acupuncture points (somatopes), primarily on the scalp, as well as on other body regions. This is an active learning workshop covering the YNSA macrosystem acupuncture points, how to recognize indications, and practice of acupressure locations of the four different YNSA needling groups.
