Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto, of Miyazaki, Japan, founded and developed a new
|
|||
|
system of scalp acupuncture in 1973, while working in Yamamoto Hospital
|
|||
|
in Nichinan.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
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, or energy.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
This system is particularly good at helping neurological diseases and
|
|||
|
dysfunctions. Cases treated with YNSA include post-CVA, paralysis,
|
|||
|
aphasia, cerebral palsy, sciatica, arthritic pain, and acute or chronic
|
|||
|
painful conditions.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<h2>Diagnosis</h2>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
YNSA provides a neck diagnositc method developed by Dr. Yamamoto
|
|||
|
verifying the Yin or Yang and the left or right sidedness of the
|
|||
|
meridian dysfunction.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
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.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
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.
|
|||
|

<h2>My Experience</h2>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
During a recent visit to Japan, I accompanied Dr. Yamamoto on his
|
|||
|
hospital rounds to review the cases of 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.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
I was pleased to discover Dr. Yamamoto’s unique therapy yielded positive
|
|||
|
results on most (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.

<h2>Case Study:</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
In Nichinan, Miyazaki, Japan on October 30, 1997 Dr. Yamamoto treated a
|
|||
|
54 year old female patient suffering from left hemiparesis and a left
|
|||
|
cold foot. Her stroke occurred 2 years prior. At 3:35 pm this
|
|||
|
thermographic photo was made. Notice the 20.66 C° on the left toes
|
|||
|
(right side of photo) and a small amount of 24 C° area in the instep of
|
|||
|
the left foot (right side of photo)
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
Dr. Yamamoto placed two Serin acupuncture needles in the patients scalp.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
The first was place in the right D point to effect the left leg and the
|
|||
|
second needle was placed in the right M2 point/cerebrum for a left leg
|
|||
|
effect. The needles were left in place for approximately 30 minutes. The
|
|||
|
patient laid in bed with no socks on, only a blanket over her whole
|
|||
|
body.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
After the needles were removed we walked to the toilet and back again.
|
|||
|
Then 10-15 minutes later at 4:33 pm the following thermographic photo
|
|||
|
was made. With the two photos side by side you can comper the effect of
|
|||
|
YNSA Acupuncture upon poor peripheral circulation in a 2 year old stroke
|
|||
|
case.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
The left hemiparesis resulted in a cold left foot (right side of before
|
|||
|
photo). The left toes increased 1.5 C° to 2 C°. The left instep increaed
|
|||
|
approximately 1.0 C°. The forefoot and the hindfoot increased
|
|||
|
approximately 1.5 C°.
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
Two acupuncture needles placed in the contralateral side of the
|
|||
|
hemiparesis using Dr. Yamamoto’s system (YNSA) is capable of stimulating
|
|||
|
increased peripeheral circulation in a 2 year old stroke case.
