How it works
What scalp acupuncture does
This approach combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with the anatomy of the brain. Each scalp zone is linked to an area that influences movement, sensation or speech.
Needles are placed in the relevant zones, and some patients are asked to move or exercise the affected area during treatment.
