What is Zhu’s Scalp Acupuncture (ZSA)?
Zhu’s Scalp Acupuncture (ZSA) is one of a number of specialized microsystem acupuncture techniques. The more general acupuncture therapy is often called body acupuncture. In scalp acupuncture, very short, fine needles are placed on the scalp to achieve the desired therapeutic effects on the different parts of the body. This technique has yielded outstanding results for thousands of patients, and has become recognized worldwide as one of the most effective methods for the treatment of a wide variety of difficult-to-manage medical conditionsHow does ZSA differ from traditional acupuncture?
The major differences between ZSA and body acupuncture are:
- It is more convenient as the patient can receive a treatment in any position and it does not interfere with daily activities.
- There is less pain associated with scalp acupuncture than with body acupuncture.
- For most conditions results tend to be faster.
- The locations of the needling differ. Although the scalp has numerous traditionally identified acupuncture points along several of the major meridians, ZSA has its own unique treatment zones.
What is unique to this system is the practice of Dao Yin which is the addition active and pasive exercises whilst the needles are in place. This could be breathing exercises or movement.

- Neurological disorders: acute and chronic paralysis, motor and sensory impairments, muscle atrophies.
