Scalp Acupuncture

What Is Scalp Acupuncture?

Scalp Acupuncture, also known as neuro acupuncture, is a treatment based on traditional acupuncture and neurology knowledge. This treatment is done by inserting acupuncture needles into the loose areolar tissue layer of the scalp to stimulate the brain neurons of the underlying area. The scalp acupuncture process is three-fold:

1. ‘wake-up’ the brain cells that are not dead but lacking in proper functioning
2. encourage recruitment of healthy brain cells to perform the lost function
3. promote a healthy reintegration of the brain system.

Since the skull protects the brain and there are no organs in the scalp to injure, it is a very safe treatment. The best results are achieved when scalp acupuncture is conducted as soon as possible after the incident occurs or harm is discovered.
