Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture, Part 1

Course overview

Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA), developed by Japanese physician Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto in 1973, offers a groundbreaking alternative to traditional acupuncture. YNSA employs somatotopes rather than conventional acupuncture points for treatment, revolutionizing the therapeutic approach. This method involves stimulating specific points on both the head and body using fine needles, proving remarkably effective in addressing neurological disorders and managing pain. In Part 1 of our two-part class, we cover the basics, including an introduction to YNSA principles, sensory points, brain points, the 12 cranial points, and neck points. Case studies will illustrate these concepts, providing practical insights for effective treatment strategies.
