Wrist-and-ankle acupuncture dates back to the time of the Cultural Revolution and is now only used by a few therapists. Here, however, it is used to treat surface complaints.
In general, we try to apply the different styles of acupuncture in a mixture that we believe is optimized for the patient, so that the potential strengths of the acupuncture methods complement each other and you can achieve the desired goal as well and quickly as possible.
There are different schools of ear acupuncture. I use this acupuncture method with the aim of supporting or complementing body acupuncture. Ear acupuncture is often used if someone wants to lose weight or has set the goal of quitting smoking.
I also use it to help with allergies, pain and insomnia or for fear of flying and some other anxiety disorders.
I use Zhiyun Bo's abdominal acupuncture method mainly for pain in the musculoskeletal system, for example shoulder or neck problems. I have been using Zhiyun Bo's abdominal acupuncture for almost 30 years, after learning about this acupuncture method in southern China during a training course at my old place of study.
I use abdominal acupuncture for back pain, knee problems and tennis elbow or finger and wrist pain.
Boel's acupuncture 2000 or Acunova is frequently used for eye diseases and pain problems. I visited Prof.Boel a few times in Denmark and use his technique since the year 2000. I still attend his courses.I use his Boel style acupuncture for pain in the upper, middle and lower back as well as for various eye diseases such as macula degeneration or Reticulopathia pigmentosa.
Doctor Yamamoto used to teach this method ofscalp acupuncture .He was the one who invented and developped this style. Among other things, he taught in southern Japan, where I learned this acupuncture method from him on site.
I have been using this method since 1997. In my opinion, the focus of using this acupuncture method is on neurological diseases and pain.
I use scalp acupuncture according to Yamamoto for back and joint pain, pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, sudden hearing loss and tinnitus as well as for the treatment of paralysis and facial paralysis.
