Used for vision issues, dizziness, loss of balance, and cerebellar ataxia. Clinical Applications: When is ZSA Used?

Scalp landmarks require micro-precision. A digital PDF allows you to zoom in closely on cranial sutures and hairline measurements to verify zone borders.

His journey was one of synthesis. He recognized that Western neurology mapped the brain’s cortex (the motor strip, the sensory strip) onto the scalp.

Stabilizing motor tremors, improving gait, and restoring facial nerve symmetry.
