Scalp acupuncture, invented and articulated through clinical practice by combining the techniques of traditional acupuncture with modern anatomy and physiology, employs a treatment methodology based on 16 scalp areas designated for specific functional applications. Helpful line drawings illustrate the manipulation techniques. Clinical practice discussions of various nervous system, internal, and external diseases include brief case reports that describe treatment of some very complicated conditions such as hemiplegia, postencephalitis, and Parkinson's disease.
