Scalp Acupuncture :
Scalp acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture that has helped many people with nervous-system disorders, including spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS).
Scalp acupuncture is one of several specialized acupuncture techniques with a specific body location, taking its place alongside ear, nose, hand, foot, and wrist / ankle acupuncture.
Supplementing traditional body acupuncture, specific areas, such as the ear, foot, hand, and scalp, represent acupunctural microsystems for the entire body. Through treating a localized microsystem, health-enhancing energy flow can be stimulated in virtually any body part.
Although the scalp acupuncture microsystem can treat most of the same disorders as traditional acupuncture, it is especially effective in treating nervous-system disorders and pain. For example, studies have shown that scalp acupuncture has helped thousands of Indian stroke patients, apparently through altering blood hormone levels that influence stroke-inducing platelet clumping. In addition, numerous people with MS, SCI, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and head injury have also benefited from scalp acupuncture. Dr. Sangita believes that the therapy is most effective when initiated soon after the traumatic injury or neurological crisis.
Features of Scalp Acupuncture :
- It is more convenient as the patient can receive a treatment in any position and it does not interfere with daily activities.
- There is less pain associated with scalp acupuncture than with body acupuncture.
- For most conditions results tend to be faster.
