International Academy of Scalp Acupuncture is a teaching, training, and researching institute for advanced acupuncture techniques. The Academy teaches seminars on scalp acupuncture,offers advanced clincal training, and conducts acupuncture research throughout the US and China. Dr. Jason Jishun Hao & Dr. Linda Lingzhi Hao have been teaching scalp acupuncture in the US since 1991. They have trained hundreds of healthcare practitioners how to use this miraculous new technique in their practice.

            Scalp acupuncture, first discovered by Dr. Shunfa Jiao (upper right picture) in the early 1970s, is a modern acupuncture technique combining Chinese needling methods with western medical knowledge of anatomy, physiology,pathology, and neurology about representative areas of the cerebral cortex. The new technique has produced excellent (and sometimes astonishing) results for the patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, automobile accident, traumatic injury, Parkinson's syndrome, post-tramautic stress disease, phantom pain, cerebellar ataxia, and other central nervous disorders.
