Acupuncture - Scalp Acupuncture - Chinese

Planning

Inleiding/Introduction

This three-day workshop offers an immersive and hands-on exploration of scalp acupuncture, focusing on two highly effective methods for addressing various types of pain and neurological disorders, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, neuroskeletal conditions, movement and sensory disorders, and psychological challenges. Participants will study cranial acupuncture techniques (tóu zhēn liáo fǎ 头针疗法) developed by Dr. Jiāo Shùn Fā (焦顺发) and Prof. Zhū Míng Qīng (朱明清), aimed at optimizing treatments for neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation as well as pain management.

Throughout the course, participants will gain practical experience in locating and puncturing points according to these two cranial acupuncture methods, while also learning their specific indications. This clinical workshop is built on 13 years of expertise integrating various cranial acupuncture techniques from Jiāo and Zhū.

By the conclusion of the workshop, participants will understand how combining these two cranial acupuncture methods can enhance treatment outcomes. They will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the somatotopies for each method, master the proper application of acupuncture techniques (zhēn fǎ 针法), and learn to seamlessly incorporate these methods into routine clinical practice.

This advanced knowledge will expand participants' therapeutic capabilities, inspiring them to integrate scalp acupuncture (tóu zhēn liáo fǎ 头针疗法) with other treatment modalities in a variety of clinical contexts.
