Upper limbs Musculoskeletal Pain – Mazzanti AcuOsteo method® – physiopathology and treatment by Acupuncture and Osteopathy
3 & 4 May 2025
Umberto Mazzanti
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.

Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture (WAA)
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.

MASTER CLASS- YNSA ADVANCED COURSE
Yamamoto’s YNSA Craniopuncture is a comprehensive system of acupuncture assessment, diagnosis and treatment, developed by Japanese physician Toshikatsu Yamamoto.
Yamamoto’s YNSA Craniopuncture was discovered in the 1960s and was first presented to the world in 1973 at the Ryodoraku Congress in Osaka. In these more than 40 years, Dr. Yamamoto has not stopped working to improve and complete the system.
In the early 70’s, the method consisted of a single somatotopia or microsystem (correspondence between a point of the body area, with a specific area of the central nervous system, organ, muscle etc.) located on the forehead and with 5 basic points. In all these years Dr. Yamamoto has discovered many more points, as well as other somatotopias not only in the head, but also in other parts of the body. Yamamoto’s YNSA Craniopuncture is, after auriculotherapy, the most widespread microsystem worldwide.
The system is very effective in the treatment of both acute and chronic pain, and in the treatment of many neurological disorders, such as post-stroke sequelae. In addition, it has proven to be very effective in countless pathologies.
