Mastering Scalp Acupuncture for Fast Clinical Results: One-Day Intensive with Daniel Deng

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Mastery of Neijing Jing Qi Shen: Deng’s Scalp Acupuncture Theory, Mapping & Clinical Application
Most scalp acupuncture systems are highly complex and take a long time to master—but in this one-day workshop, Dr. Daniel Deng simplifies the process so you can start using powerful techniques in your clinic immediately. His innovative scalp acupuncture system is unique to his extensive clinical experience, grounded in classical NeiJing wisdom and refined for modern clinical application. This training is designed for busy practitioners who want powerful, versatile techniques they can use straight away.
You’ll discover how to locate and apply specialised scalp points using Deng’s unique mapping system, rooted in point name meaning, Yin–Yang balance, Qi and Blood circulation, and meridian theory. Practical methods such as needling “Three Flowers Converging at the Apex” and “Five Qi Returning to the Source” will be demonstrated and practiced, giving you hands-on confidence to apply them immediately.
Through lecture, guided point location, supervised needling practice, and real case studies, you’ll gain the skills to treat a wide range of conditions—including neurological disorders, emotional imbalances, pain syndromes, and internal conditions. The workshop also covers pulse diagnosis for scalp acupuncture, safety considerations, and how to integrate these methods seamlessly into your current treatments.
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with:
- A clear scalp mapping system you can rely on
- Practical needling and moxibustion skills ready for clinic use
- Tools to achieve faster and more noticeable patient results
- Confidence to expand your treatment scope for challenging conditions
This workshop is an opportunity to enhance your practice with advanced yet accessible techniques—helping you deliver outstanding outcomes that grow your reputation and patient referrals.
