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.
|
||
</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
|
||
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.
|
||
</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
|
||
increased peripeheral circulation in a 2 year old stroke case.
