What are the applications of YNSA?

YNSA has different therapeutic applications. In fact, in a consultation with YNSA experts from all over the world, they were asked about the most important indications. The responses were unanimous in affirming the usefulness of YNSA for musculoskeletal pain, neurological conditions, internal medicine, pain management and many other conditions. The results are satisfactory and reliable and the effects are reported to be immediate

This microsystem is different from traditional Chinese acupuncture (both in diagnostic method and application), although the two are perfectly compatible.

YNSA and scientific research
Several studies have investigated the physiological mechanisms of action and applications of YNSA. Thus, activation of brain activity in different areas related to the nociceptive system and the motor system has been discovered, which may explain the remarkable pain reduction of YNSA in patients with chronic pain of the locomotor system.

Another major application of YNSA that has been investigated is the treatment of stroke (cerebral vascular accident, or CVA). It has been found that in stroke patients treated with YNSA there can be improvements in mobility and spasticity related to an activation of activity in the cerebral cortex (, and an improvement in quality of life in these patients , although it should be implemented as soon as possible after the stroke if the patient’s cardio-pulmonary condition is balanced and allows it 

Another important therapeutic application of YNSA that has been investigated is the treatment of tinnitus (perception of non-existent, ringing or buzzing sounds) and chronic sensorineural deafness, especially when concomitant cervical syndrome is especially addressed in the treatment, with partial improvement of discomfort reported and in some cases significant improvements in both tinnitus and hearing threshold
