Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture
Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture (WAA) is an acupuncture technique invented in 1975 by Professor Zhang Xinshu. WAA involves the stimulation of 12 acupuncture points located in the wrist and ankle through the insertion of subcutaneous needles that are left in place and crusted over. It is a completely painless technique and is widely used in clinical practice, particularly for musculoskeletal disorders, but also for internal medicine in combination with somatic acupuncture. During the seminar, the main applications of this method will be illustrated, and a lot of attention and space will be given to the practical part and the methodology of needle insertion.
