The Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture microsystem

The Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture microsystem utilises anatomical and channel somatotopes to manipulate biological electrically-mediated signalling for neurological disorders.

Japanese physician, Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto developed this acupuncture system in 1973 to provide both symptomatic relief and curative effects to those with restricted mobility.

the difference between YNSA and Chinese-style
scalp acupuncture

A question frequently asked is what is the difference between YNSA and Chinese-style scalp acupuncture... and the answer is the diagnostic system.

With the use of just 40 YNSA diagnostic points, even beginners can accurately determine treatment points.

The effect of each point is easy to understand... the needle is inserted into the point connected to the site of the symptom cause (the location projected on the head)

To allow for speed of understanding and fast implementation, the technique has been systemised...it does not require years of complex knowledge or years of experience, just follow the system.

This is why YNSA has been accepted by acupuncturists all around the world.
