This style is largely inspired by the work of modern Japanese acupuncturists such as Master Nagano, Master Kawai and Kiiko’s vast clinical experience. Although highly clinically oriented and practical, this style of acupuncture is very close to the original classic texts (Ling Shu, Su Wen, and Nan Ching) and their important interpretations such as the Neiching. in the first day of this seminar David will present a very detailed differential diagnosis of causes that lead to the inability to heal from neurological conditions such as post stroke problems, Parkinson's, various neuropathies as well as RSD and pain syndromes. Specific treatments will also be presented for the discussed neurological problems .On the second day of this seminar David will present a detailed differential diagnosis of the causes leading to headache as well as the treatment strategies specific to them. The headaches presented include (but are not limited to) whiplash, cervical, tension, migraine, internal organ (Liver disorders, Kidney disorders and Spleen disorders). On both days David will demonstrate on patients and volunteers. The images are going to be projected on a large screen so everyone can see.
