Chinese scalp acupuncture (CSA) is a contemporary acupuncture technique integrating traditional Chinese needling methods with Western biomedical knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the cerebral cortex. Scalp acupuncture has been proven to be the most effective technique for treating acute and chronic central nervous system dis orders. Scalp acupuncture often produces remarkable results with just a few needles and usually brings about immediate improvements.
Scalp acupunct ure is frequently used in the rehabilitation of paralysis due to stroke, multiple sclerosis, automobile accidents, and Parkinson’s disease. It is also used in pain management, especially in cases with central nervous system involvement, such as phantom pain, complex regional pain, and residual limb pain. It has been proven to have very effective results in treating PTSD, TBI, aphasia, ataxia, and Meniere’s disease.
This course introduces CSA through didactic material, demonstration of techniques, and clinical experience for participants. The didactic material covers the anatomy and physiology of the brain and the scalp in order to show the location and indications of scalp acupuncture points. Demonstration and hands-on technique will be an integral part of the class.
The technique of scalp acupuncture is systematic, logical, easy to understand, and relatively straightforward to practice. Chinese scalp acupuncture is more accessible, less expensive, entails less risk, can yield quicker responses, and causes fewer side effects than many mainstream treatments.
If you wish you could do more to help patients with seriously debilitating central nervous system conditions, you will benefit from attending this course.
A limited number of participants can bring a patient with stroke, Parkinson's, MS, or other neurological,, difficult conditions. Here is a short video about his work.
