Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture (WAA)

Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture (WAA)

11 & 12 October 2025
  • Umberto Mazzanti

“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.”

Upper limbs Musculoskeletal Pain – Mazzanti AcuOsteo method® – physiopathology and treatment by Acupuncture and Osteopathy

Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in my own clinic.
In my experience, Acupuncture and Osteopathic medicine are two effective techniques and they are synergistic in treating pain.
Often pain is generically reported to a widespread area of a joint, together with some rigidity and it can be difficult to identify the Acupuncture Channel involved in a musculoskeletal pain.
Osteopathic manipulative treatment’s aim is to bring back joints in their physiological position, reduce pain and limitation of the movement, and help to identify the channel that needs to be treated with Acupuncture.
