For Symptoms that Persist

Scalp Acupuncture for Neurological Support

Scalp acupuncture is sometimes incorporated where neurological regulation is central to the presentation.

This approach focuses on areas of the scalp that correspond functionally to movement, sensation, and cortical processing. 

Supportive care may be considered for individuals experiencing:

• Persistent back, neck or joint pain
• Migraine or recurrent headaches
• Stress-related sleep disruption
• Fatigue and cognitive overload
• Post‑stroke recovery support
• Parkinson’s disease–related motor symptoms
• Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline support

From a contemporary perspective, scalp acupuncture is thought to interact with central nervous system pathways involved in neuroplasticity and functional regulation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is used to support channel communication between the brain and body.
