What is the acupuncture on the head?
Acupuncture of the scalp is a specialized area of acupuncture that has been developing since the age of 70. Although acupuncture has been part of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, the scalp acupuncture is a relatively new specialization and several variations have appeared. At present, two methods are the most respected. From China, Professor Zhu Mingqing created a scalp acupuncture on the head based on the original Chinese theory and research. From Japan, Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto developed the so -called Yamamoto new acupuncture of the scalp (YNSA).
The essence of the original theory behind the acupuncture of the head is that different areas of the brain can be stimulated by introducing acupuncture needles into the relevant areas on the scalp. Stimulated areas, in turn, can improve function and reduce pain in the body of the body controlled by a particular part of the brain that is stimulated. The idea is to have "good" brain areas "re -" broken "or narofied areas. In the simplest terms, acupuncture serves as a manual "reset" button. OBecny areas are motor, sensory, motor-sensor engine, chorea tremor, vasomotor, vertigo-revs, speech, optics, balance, stomach, thoracic and reproductive. Experts use a detailed brain/scalp map to identify areas.
Dr. Zhu began to develop his acupuncture method in the 1970s and brought his practice to the United States and in 1991 he created the Chinese acupuncture center on his head in San Francisco. His practice now applies to Zhuovo acupuncture medical and neurological center in San Jose, ca. Patients are treated for various diseases, including chronic pain, stroke and neurological disorders. Zhu's method of acupuncture head heads is said to differ from the acupuncture of the body in several ways. It is less painful, the results are faster, the placement of the jet differs and the patients may be TOP to reappear.
NSA was first introduced by Yamamoto in ROce 1970 and is based on what he identified as somatotopes. These are small points on the head that matches the hips on the body. The practicing YNSA slows down the neck and belly to determine where the correlation spots will be found on the scalp. After adapting the areas of pain on the body points on the scalp, acupuncture needles or small lasers are used to stimulate the head areas involved. Like the Chinese method of acupuncture of the head head, YNSA is also used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain, neurological disorders, child development disorders, nerve pain, stroke and many other problems.
