Like Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture uses filiform needles to stimulate specific points on the body to promote circulation and improve overall health.-á What stands out for Japanese acupuncture is that the therapist uses their palpation skills to find the point, and cross checks the point before inserting the needles.-á This ensures accuracy of the point.-á The other major difference is that the needles used are thinner, smaller, and the insertion is shallower than traditional Chinese therapy.

Acupuncture is an extremely effective treatment for many conditions, especially any pain related symptoms such as body pain, headaches, and insomnia. Patients will feel a great deal of relief from chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, and recovery from illness.
