Yamamoto
New Scalp Acupuncture - YNSA
 Dr.
Toshikatsu Yamamoto, of Miyazaki, Japan, founded and
developed a new system of scalp acupuncture in 1973, while
working in Yamamoto Hospital in Nichinan. This micro
acupuncture system is different from traditional Chinese
acupuncture and Chinese scalp acupuncture. It is both
diagnostic and interactive treatment system in relieving
both somatic and visceral pain problems, as well as
balancing Qi. This system is particularly good at helping
neurological diseases and dysfunctions. Cases treated with
YNSA include post-stroke, paralysis, aphasia, cerebral
palsy, sciatica, arthritic pain, and acute or chronic
painful conditions.
YNSA
provides a neck diagnostic method developed by Dr. Yamamoto
verifying the Yin or Yang and the left or right sidedness of
the meridian dysfunction. It provides an immediate feedback
after correctly placing the acupuncture needles. This
constant interchange between the probing physician and
feedback from the patient's body enables the practitioner to
diagnose and treat a wide variety of clinical problems. The
neck diagnosis is a palpatory psychomotor skill that is best
taught by a trained practitioner to a student. This is where
results can be seen and perfect practice makes for accurate
diagnosis and effective treatment.
During
a recent visit with Dr. Yamamoto I accompanied him to review
the cases of pain and stroke patients who receive YNSA. Dr.
Yamamoto demonstrated that by placing 3-4 needles at
specific points on the scalp, one could produce undeniably
positive results in most patients suffering from various
degrees of paralysis in arms or legs. Further, a single
needle placed in the "aphasic point" actually
restored speech in aphasic (no speech) and dysphasic
(difficult speech) patients.
I
was pleased to discover Dr. Yamamoto's unique therapy
yielded positive results on an outstanding number (an
incredible 80%) of the patients under his care. I now use
Dr. Yamamoto's methods to alleviate a variety of chronic and
injury related symptoms that impede the quality of life of
my patients with similar results!
Here's
what our patients say about the benefits of YNSA therapy:
 "I've
had chronic neck and back pain since I was involved in a car
accident 5 years ago. Surgery on my neck was supposed
to help but it only made the pain worse."
"But
after just 3 treatment sessions with Dr. Grass, I was able
to use my arms again without pain!"
