Scalp Acupuncture
What is Scalp Acupuncture?
Scalp acupuncture, a form of integrative medicine, involves placing very fine, short needles on the scalp to stimulate specific areas connected to various body functions. Often referred to as head acupuncture, this technique targets brain centers directly, making it particularly effective for treating neurological conditions. At our clinic, we use different scalp acupuncture techniques, including Zhu’s Scalp Acupuncture, Hao Neuro Acupuncture to create a personalized approach for each patient. This ensures that every treatment is tailored to the individual’s unique needs and goals.
What Can Be Treated with Scalp Acupuncture?
Research demonstrates that scalp acupuncture can promote neural plasticity, assisting the brain in repairing and reorganizing itself. Studies have highlighted its impact on neurological recovery, often resulting in significant improvements over traditional methods alone.
- Stroke rehabilitation
Scalp acupuncture can promote neural recovery, aiding in motor skill restoration and improving speech and mobility post-stroke.
Research suggests scalp acupuncture may help manage MS symptoms by reducing fatigue, improving muscle control, and alleviating pain.
- Traumatic paraplegia
For those with spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis, scalp acupuncture can support recovery by enhancing nerve function and promoting muscle control.
Scalp acupuncture may improve motor function and coordination in children and adults with cerebral palsy, aiding in overall physical development.
Studies indicate that scalp acupuncture can alleviate symptoms of Parkinson’s, such as tremors and muscle rigidity, by stimulating brain centers associated with motor control.
- Encephalitis and meningitis
Inflammatory conditions affecting the brain, such as encephalitis and meningitis, may see symptom relief through scalp acupuncture by reducing inflammation and supporting brain recovery.
- Acute myelitis
This spinal cord inflammation can benefit from scalp acupuncture as it promotes neural repair and supports motor function.
- Progressive myoatrophy
Scalp acupuncture may help slow muscle wasting and improve nerve function in cases of progressive muscular atrophy.
- Multiple neuritis (Polyneuritis)
For nerve inflammation across multiple body parts, scalp acupuncture can help reduce pain and restore nerve health.
- Poliomyelitis
Scalp acupuncture may be used to support muscle and nerve recovery in those affected by polio.

Acupuncture on Head Benefits
Acupuncture on the head provides targeted benefits by stimulating brain centers directly related to specific functions. Unlike body acupuncture, which involves stimulating meridians across the body, scalp acupuncture can produce faster and sometimes more noticeable effects on motor skills, speech, and pain reduction. Research has shown that head acupuncture can improve outcomes in post-stroke recovery and traumatic brain injury.
Scalp Acupuncture
Processs
The process begins with identifying the treatment zones based on the patient’s condition. Tiny needles are inserted into targeted areas on the scalp that correspond to specific brain regions and body functions. This method, as described in integrative medicine, targets brain centers to provide direct therapeutic effects and foster rapid improvement.
Our Approach
At our clinic, we combine scalp acupuncture with complementary techniques from integrative medicine, such as Zhu’s scalp acupuncture and Hao scalp acupuncture. This approach integrates scalp acupuncture with practices like Daoyin (therapeutic exercises), massage, and traditional body acupuncture, enhancing the overall therapeutic effects. We focus on head acupuncture to achieve optimal results for our patients.
- Individualized care
At our clinic, we adapt each treatment to the individual, taking into account medical history, medications, stress levels, and ongoing treatments. These factors impact how your body responds, so please share any relevant details to ensure the best results.
- Potential responses to treatment
Responses to scalp acupuncture include increased mobility, pain reduction, and enhanced cognitive clarity. Some patients experience immediate symptom relief, while others see improvements over multiple sessions. This technique can activate neuroplasticity and promote sustained recovery.
If you experience any unusual discomfort or a significant increase in symptoms, please inform us. We are here to support you every step of the way and will adjust your treatment plan as needed.
SCALP ACUPUNCTURE
FOR KIDS AND ADULTS
Scalp acupuncture works by activating brain centers through targeted stimulation of the scalp.
This encourages neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to establish new pathways that help restore function to impaired areas.
We tailor treatments to meet the unique needs of children, adults, and seniors.
For children, we focus on gentle techniques that support growth, development, and recovery from injuries.
For adults, treatments are more intensive, addressing issues such as chronic pain, injury recovery, and mobility enhancement.
