Scalp Acupuncture in Clearwater, FL
A specialized micro-system for stroke recovery and central nervous system support.
Scalp acupuncture places very short, hair-thin needles into specific zones of the scalp that correspond to areas of the brain. It is one of the most studied acupuncture micro-systems for neurological rehabilitation.
Dr. Kim uses scalp acupuncture as an adjunct in stroke recovery, movement disorders, and select chronic pain and cognitive conditions — always paired with body acupuncture for a full protocol.
