<p>
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
2023-08-28 22:06:06 +00:00
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.
</p>
<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
2023-08-28 22:06:06 +00:00
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
2023-08-28 22:06:06 +00:00
symptoms that impede the quality of life of my patients.
</p>
<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
