Introduction

Richard A. Feely, DO

Dr. Toshikatsu Yamamoto, of Miyazaki, Japan, founded and developed a new system of scalp acupuncture in 1973, while working in Yamamoto Hospital in Nichinan.

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.

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.
