Experience the Subtle Elegance of Japanese Acupuncture
In our practice, we are proud to offer Japanese acupuncture, a unique and refined form of acupuncture that is known for its gentle, yet effective approach. This style of acupuncture, rooted in the rich medical traditions of Japan, provides a distinct experience, characterized by its minimalistic and subtle techniques.
The Essence of Japanese Acupuncture
Japanese acupuncture differs from other forms in its emphasis on precision and minimal intervention. Practitioners of this style use thinner needles and shallower insertions, making it an ideal choice for those who are sensitive or new to acupuncture. The techniques are less invasive, and the focus is on the patient’s comfort and relaxation throughout the treatment.
Diagnosis through Gentle Palpation
A key aspect of Japanese acupuncture is the diagnostic process. Practitioners often use abdominal palpation – gently pressing on different areas of the abdomen – to gain insights into the patient’s condition. This method not only helps in diagnosing imbalances but also establishes a deeper connection between the practitioner and the patient, enhancing the healing process.
Subtle Needling for Profound Effects
The needling technique in Japanese acupuncture is highly refined. Practitioners may use fewer needles and leave them in place for a shorter duration compared to other styles. Despite this subtlety, the effects can be profound, as the treatment focuses on stimulating the body’s natural healing capabilities and restoring balance to the flow of energy, or Qi.
Integrating Moxibustion for Enhanced Healing
Moxibustion, a therapy that involves burning a small, spongy herb called mugwort to facilitate healing, is often integrated into Japanese acupuncture treatments. This technique adds a warming element that helps in improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the acupuncture treatment.
Tailored Treatments for Individual Needs
Every treatment is tailored to the individual needs of the patient, taking into account their unique physical and emotional constitution. This personalized approach ensures that each session is not only effective in addressing specific health concerns but also promotes overall wellness and balance.

Our commitment to Japanese acupuncture is rooted in our belief in providing holistic, patient-centered care. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, stress, fatigue, or other health issues, our Japanese acupuncture treatments offer a soothing, rejuvenating experience that nurtures both body and mind.
