This handbook is an invaluable resource on the principles and practice
of Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA). This popular form of scalp
acupuncture is used to treat a wealth of neurological conditions, and is
very effective in stroke patients with pain and restricted mobility,
providing relief from the symptoms.
David Bomzon is an international expert on YNSA and he includes
step-by-step explanations of points, points location, indications for
needling, and clinical cases, all supported by line drawings and
photographs. Uniquely, this book is written by an acupuncturist for
acupuncturists, chiropractors and physical therapists, and the author
clearly reconciles the theoretical needling points described by Yamamoto
with actual needling points. Basic, sensory, brain, Y (epsilon) and
cranial points are all covered, as well as instructions on applying YNSA
in the clinic. The handbook also explains the benefits of combining YNSA
treatment with Western medicine and physical therapy, making this
essential reading for all practitioners looking to expand their
knowledge of scalp acupuncture.
