YNSA

YNSA, or Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture, is a separate form of acupuncture, developed by Japanese physician Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto in the 1960s.

YNSA is an acupuncture microsystem that works by needling of somatotopes located primarily on the scalp. Within each somatotope are zones associated with various parts of the body, physical functions and Chinese acupuncture .

The selection of points to be needled is determined by palpation and by neck and abdominal diagnosis.

YNSA is indicated above all for pain treatment and for neurological disorders. YNSA practitioners must undergo special training.
