Scalp acupuncture, or neuro-acupuncture, was developed in the middle of the 20th century due to the development of modern anatomy. It works by stimulating different functional areas of the brain cortex. The acupuncture needles are inserted between different skin layers (the needles stay outside the skull within the skin) and then stimulated. Several acupuncture masters played very important roles in developing the technique. The technique has shown remarkable results in treating neurological disorders (and other conditions) since its invention. Many patients recovered after the treatment, and many obtained great improvements in their quality of life. By searching for scalp acupuncture and neuro-acupuncture online, you may find a lot of reports about how this technique works and has helped a lot of people. Many patients consider their treatment an experience of "life transformation.” The most disorders treated are Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Tremor, Neuropathy, Autism, Dysphagia, Traumatic Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy (CP), Sensory Processing Disorder, Post – Stoke Recovery etc. While scalp acupuncture also works well for other conditions, like lower back pain, Fibromyalgia, Double vision, ADHD, PTSD, Bell’s Palsy etc.
