1) ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing systems in the world and is still widely used today. In my practice I combine Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern neurological and physiotherapy approaches, choosing the method that best fits your individual situation.
What to expect?
During the first consultation I determine which acupuncture system—or combination of systems—is most appropriate for your condition. Traditional body acupuncture, abdominal acupuncture, YNSA or other complementary techniques may be combined with physiotherapy or manual therapy when this offers the greatest benefit.
Some of the indications for acupuncture, the World Health Organization mentions, are the following:
More .lower back pain, Abdominal acupuncture is a modern system in acupuncture, that uses only the acupuncture points on the skin of the abdomen (belly). Because of this we can see the abdomen as an area where the whole body reflects itself (microsystem). The therapist sees the abdomen as the “lower brain” (in contrast to the physical brain), and so we can use it as a reflectory regulator of the physical brain. Dr.Bo understands that the acupuncture points on the abdomen have a very special influence on the rest of the body and the (Zang/Fu) organs in the belly, when the special, very fine needles are inserted. I love this system because a lot of ailments can be treated per session and the client can recline comfortably on his/her back. .every orthopedic problem (myoskeletical problems), The results show themselves very quickly, also for chronic problems! Spiritual (Esoteric) Acupuncture is intended for people who consciously seek inner development in addition to physical well-being. This is done by the decoding and unlocking of the “doors” to new levels of awareness. In addition with the necessary spiritual work, Inner Plane work and service work the esoteric acupuncture results in : .finding a higher meaning in your life. The New Acupuncture patterns set up a vibrational frequency field that attract very fine frequency waves through the special spin point sites. This field also allows the energies to leave the etheric body via the acupuncture meridians in order to reconnect with the various axiatonal grids. The New Encoding patterns are not magical self-realisation processes, though we view them as tools for assisting you in your spiritual and Inner Plane development and growth. Facial rejuvenation Acupuncture is a safe and painless, non-surgical method of reducing the signs of aging. Though facial rejuvenationing acupuncture is sometimes referred to as Acupuncture Facelift or Cosmetic Acupuncture, it is more than a cosmetic procedure. It is a rejuvenation and revitalization process designed to help the whole body look and feel younger. Facial acupuncture is originally developed for patients with paralyzed muscles from Bell’s Palsy or stroke. The result of treatment was so cosmetically pronounced overtime that it is transformed into a program for anti-aging and beauty. There are two aspects to the benefits of Facial Acupuncture. Firstly is the benefit of ‘local’ treatment and secondly is the benefit of ‘root’ treatment. Local treatment directly addresses facial aging symptoms while the root treatment treats the underlying cause of facial symptoms such as hormonal balance, digestive problems or emotional stress. Therefore both local and root treatments are performed in each session to provide the best and the longest lasting benefits. Many clients notice a fresher, healthier and more relaxed appearance after completing a treatment series. You see this as: .Elimination of fine lines and diminished wrinkles .Reduced bags under the eyes .Firmed jaws .Puffiness eliminated, droopy eyelids lifted .Minimized double chin .Moisturizing of the skin with increased local circulation of blood and lymph to the face .Increased collagen production, .Muscle tone, and dermal contraction, .Tightening of the pores, .Brightening of the eyes, .Improvement of hormonal balance to help acne .The reduction of stress. Facial cosmetic acupuncture brings out the innate beauty and radiance of an individual. While it does not produce the dramatic results of some of invasive procedures, it does help the face look younger, healthier and more radiant without dangerous side effects.While not a replacement for surgery, Facial Acupuncture is an excellent alternative. It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery and is safe, virtually painless. Facial Acupuncture is a contraindication for some pituitary disorders, heart disorders and diabetes mellitus. Also contraindicated are: high blood pressure, having a pacemaker, problems with bleeding or bruising, or currently suffering from migraine headaches. Facial Acupuncture is a contraindication during pregnancy, during a bout with a cold or flu, during an allergic attack or during an acute herpes outbreak. A course of treatment consists of 10-15 sessions (generally 12). We recommend that clients have the first 6 sessions twice a week and have the last 6 sessions once a week to get maximum result. This means that a full course of sessions takes 9 weeks to complete. Some results we see as early as the 2nd or the 3rd session but the effects are most noticeable and lasting on the 7th or 8th session. In some exceptionally difficult cases, the course of treatment needs to be repeated again. As in surgical facelifts, the actual outcome and how long the effects will last cannot be predicted. Each person responds differently, depending on his or her age, condition and lifestyle prior to treatment. For this reason, results for some may be more or less dramatic than they are for others. Following the initial course of treatment, monthly maintenance sessions prolong the results for 5 to 10 years. Less

3) SPIRITUAL (ESOTERIC) ACUPUNCTURE
Therefore we use fine acupuncture needles (0.26mm) for a new energy healing concept that fits the Aquarius age, the 21th century. (Dr. Mikio Sankey )

5) YAMAMOTO NEW SCALP ACUPUNCTURE (YNSA)
YNSA is a relatively new acupuncture technique (1973) when we compare to the Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (4000+ years old).
According to the YNSA, the ultra thin needles we mainly apply to the scalp, after carefully diagnosing both the root of the issue as well as the symptoms of the disease.
During the session the results of the needling we assess with care.
YNSA is created in Japan, originally to ease pain and neurological diseases. It now shows that the system influences other health issues as well.
This acupuncture concept works (relatively) fast, and is holistic. “Holistic” means that it influences both body and psyche.
YNSA is a creation by Dr, Yamamoto, and is being developed further and taught by David Bomzon & Avi Amir (Israel).
YNSA has become one of my favourite acupuncture systems because of its direct influence on the nervous system. I regularly integrate it with physiotherapy and other therapeutic methods whenever I believe it offers the greatest benefit for the individual sitting in front of me.
