Because we use thinner needles and employ shallower insertions than Chinese acupuncture discomfort is rarely experienced during treatment.

Our technique is gentler and subtler than the Chinese techniques used by most Acupuncturists in Europe.

Sometimes, rather than pain, you will experience a temporary warmth or itching at the site of the needle which indicates movement of Ki.

Acupuncture stimulates the balance and flow of Ki, energy is considered essential to health. When the body is healthy, Ki , flows smoothly through the meridians that make up a conceptual network of pathways throughout the entire body.

You’ll likely notice a gentle shift even after your very first treatment. However, true, lasting change often takes a little time usually several days to a few weeks for your body to fully “lock in” the improvements.

To help your symptoms settle and to give your system the best chance to rebalance, we generally recommend coming in once a week for about four weeks.

After that, you’ll often find your energy steadier, sleep deeper, and anxiety easier to manage.

Even though Japanese Acupuncture and Chinese Acupuncture both have their roots in the Orient, they are very different. Japanese needles tend to be smaller and finer than Chinese needles. The depth of insertion required by Japanese needling (1 – 5 mm) is shallower than the Chinese needling (1 – 5 cm). Chinese needling involves lifting, thrusting, twisting, and twirling the needles into the fleshy areas of the body whereas Japanese needling involves the use of metal tubes to guide the needles to the specific acupuncture points (active points) superficially.

Hence, patients treated with Chinese acupuncture feel stronger needle tingling (pain) sensation as compared to the Japanese version. Unlike Chinese acupuncture, moxibustion is used as a part of the Japanese acupuncture routine.

There are variations in approach within Japanese acupuncture techniques. If you have tried acupuncture before from non Japanese practitioner and it didn't achieve the results you were hoping for or you just didn't like it, we would still recommend that you try this type of acupuncture.

Likewise, if our treatment doesn't work for you, it doesn't mean that another acupuncturist's approach won't be successful. If you have had many treatments with several different acupuncturists and your problem continues, you may want to incorporate a different treatment modality.

It would also be prudent to consult a physician (preferably a specialist) to make sure there is no serious illness behind your complaint.

The factor is to Strong emphasis on touch As the other senses will tend to be more developed to compensate for the lack of sight.

​

Blind acupuncturists are said to be more sensitive to touch. They can touch the patient’s body more lightly and feel more. They seem to be able to pick up very subtle changes when reading the pulse. Acupuncture works on the physical – the muscles and flesh, but it is also known as an energy medicine system. Acupuncture goes much deeper to encompass the energetic flow in the body.

During treatment, many changes can occur to the quality of the pulse, the luster of the skin, and the energy flow of the body. As blind practitioners are not hindered by sight, they see with their hands and pick up on these changes far more quickly. They may find it easier to find the exact location of the acupuncture point. Ironically, in some ways, sight can blind a practitioner.

Wear loose fitted, comfortable clothing.

You might want to bring a tank top and shorts to allow the acupuncturist easy access to the body. Most of the points needled are on the torso and limbs, below the elbows and knees.

Exceptions are for pain, where local points will be used in the affected area, such as the shoulder.

Payment can be made by using a iDeal , credit card, debit card or cash

This is that as your body start understanding the change involved in moving toward health, things get stirred up. This can cause not only an exacerbatin of current symptoms but also the recurrence of previous ailments that had been dormant.

Acupuncture awaken your healing capabilities with that can come an onslaught of bodily awareness. This usually is a positive experience but it also can mean heightened sensitivity or intolerance for things that previously felt normal.

Example of this Is someone who unconsciously adapts to stress by tightening and hunching up his shoulder after a n acupuncture treatment once this person's bodily felt sense has been woken up his mild upper back and neck tension might start screaming.

The good new about this side effect is that it's a sign that things are moving. In the case of Acupuncture, this mean that the primary objective is being met. That is you're starting to transition on multiple levels from stuck to unstuck.

Paediatric acupuncture is different.

Children are not small adults. They respond to much lighter treatment techniques than most adults and rarely need “grown-up acupuncture”. Shonishin is a Japanese non-invasive (needle-free) treatment method for infants, toddlers and school-age children.

It is based on the same principles as acupuncture, but instead of needles, small metal tools are used to stimulate the child’s acupuncture meridians with tapping, rubbing or light pressure.

The treatment is pleasant, and many children look forward to their treatment.

Acupuncture has been widely used to treat a variety of domestic animals. In Japan, it is regularly used with success to treat racehorses.

These animals are immune to the placebo effect and to the psychosomatic element of therapy. This means that it is the insertion of needles into specific points, itself, that works. Any form of medicine has a placebo component,

including modern medicine. The placebo effect is just a small part of acupuncture's effectiveness. While a positive attitude may enhance

it, a negative attitude will not block the effects of acupuncture.

Tests and observations by Western medicine have proven that acupuncture points have a wide variety of unique electrical and physical attributes. Stimulation of such points creates definite physiological responses,

such as change in heart rate, blood pressure, brain activity, blood chemistry, endocrine function, intestinal activity and immunological reaction.

​No.

We only use disposable insertion needles. Each needle comes packaged and pre-sterilized with ethylene oxide gas.

New needles are used with each visit and are disposed of immediately following each treatment into a biohazard-marked container.

We follow universal precautions to protect Our patients and ourself. Acupuncture has no adverse effects or risks.

Acupuncture and shiatsu are great for relieving some uncomfortable symptoms and reducing some pain of serious illness. They can also play an important role in recovery and rehabilitation by restoring balance of structure and function in the body.

Above all, acupuncture and shiatsu are excellent preventive medicine for they can correct energy flow before serious illness occurs.

The role of acupuncture in the curative group is in its adjunctive use in anesthesia, in post-operative pain control, and in aiding and hastening recovery from the side effects of the various therapies.

Acupuncture is effective for control of pain, of local swelling post-operatively, for shortening the resolution of hematoma and tissue swelling and for minimizing use of medications and their attendant side effects.

Energetic acupuncture, an approach consisting of the use of needles with electricity and moxibustion (a form of local heating with herbs imparts a sense of well being and accelerates patients' recovery. In conjunction with nutritional support, its use is routinely employed in some cancer institutions.

That acupuncture is a powerful tool for general pain control is widely known. Less known is its success use in some cancer-related pain and in reducing narcotic use, thereby minimizing side effects such as confusion, behavioral changes, nausea and severe constipation.

Needling a variety of trigger and painful points, percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and osteo-puncture, along with whole body energetic acupuncture support, are approaches available to the acupuncturists.

In the acupuncture paradigm, any chronic disease process depletes the energy level in the organism. Such depletion can be ameliorated, at least temporarily, by tonification, a process of imparting energy into the system.

This is deemed necessary for more durable, successful pain control. It can also add to the patients' sense of well being and decrease the malaise associated with any chronic disease, especially cancer.

Nutritional support as an aid in boosting immune response in cancer patients, along with minimizing the immune and white blood cell suppression that occurs with most chemotherapeutic agents, has been receiving greater attention and funding for research.. Kenneth Conklin, M.D., Ph.D., an anesthesiologist at UCLA working with the Oncology Department, reports gratifying results utilizing nutrition and supplements combined with energetic acupuncture.

Energetic acupuncture repletes energy level to the organism as a whole, re-establishes homeostasis by re-balancing energy distribution and un-blocking energy flow. This systems approach to deal with system wide patho-physiology can be complemented by distinct meridian acupuncture, which directs healing energy to specific organ pathology and is a routine approach in treating diseased organs such as liver, pancreas kidney, including those ravaged by cancers.

While the degree of beneficial results from acupuncture treatment is dependent on various clinical factors such as presenting symptoms, clinical staging, timing of the encounter in the course of the illness, areas of involvement, the answer to the opening question "can acupuncture help me?" is, in all probability, that it can help in the care of the cancer patient.

The accurate selection of acupuncture points requires that knowledge of the general anatomical location of points be matched by experience and sensitivity in the fingertips.

Mr. Sorei Yanagia, the most renowned acupuncturist in modern Japan and the first principal of my Acupuncture College wrote in his book The Complete Book of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Medicine,

"When performing acupuncture and moxibustion for disease prevention and treatment, one must, at any cost, be very strict in selecting acupoints...Is the purpose of acupuncture merely for stimulation?

No, we do not think this way. While stimulation of the living body makes one metal needle or one pinch of moxa effective, we believe that it is the accurate selection of acupuncture points that contribute most to their effectiveness."

At the core of this ancient medicine is the philosophy that ki (pronounced "Ki") or vital energy, flows throughout the body. ki helps to animate the body and protect it from illness, pain and disease.

A person's health is influenced by the quality, quantity and balance of Ki.

Ki circulates through specific pathways called meridians. There are 14 main meridian pathways throughout the body. Each is connected to specific organs and glands. Meridian pathways are like rivers.

Where a river flows, it transports life-giving water that nourishes the land, plants and people. In the same way, meridian pathways transport life-giving Ki to nourish and energize every cell, organ, gland, tissue and muscle.

When Ki flows freely throughout the body, one enjoys good physical, mental and emotional well-being. An obstruction of Ki anywhere in the body is like a dam, backing up the flow in one area and restricting it in others.

This blockage can hinder the distribution of the nourishment that the body requires to function properly. An acupuncture session is a great way to balance your Ki.

Understanding a dancers body and the demands placed upon it is difficult to imagine unless you've experienced it yourself. As a former dancer I am aware of the high standards dancers expect from their own bodies and helping to achieve those standards is my aim. ​ Dance is physically demanding, whether you’re a professional or dance is your hobby; classes, rehearsals, and performances are physically intensive. Dancers are well known for dancing through an injury,

but regular treatments can help prevent the injury before it happens as well as releasing tension in the joints & tendons, improving flexibility and range of motion. Due to busy schedules, dancers are more prone to overuse injuries. These injuries occur when muscles are not rested fully after training, rehearsal or performance. To use your muscles to your maximum ability it is essential to allow them to recover from the previous session. Overuse is the most common cause of muscular imbalances and injury in dance. If these are not noticed early on they can effect performance or worse, can cause further injures. ​

Many dancers find that a rest period is very difficult to achieve, whilst trying to keep up with rehearsal and performance. Massage can improve circulation which helps to flush out toxins that build up in the muscles aiding a speedy recovery. This is a huge bonus to dancers that are eager to get back into training after injury. our traditional Japanese treatment is a very safe method of treating injuries and aiding the healing process. ​ ​ Benefits for Dancers: ​

• Aids and speeds up the body’s natural recovery process

• Massage helps prevent injury

• Enhances performance by releasing muscular tension

• Aids the healing process with minor soft tissue injuries

• Improves flexibility & range of motion

• Improves posture

• Overall relaxation

Voice treatment is extremely beneficial to those that use the voice professionally. By working on the muscles involved in voice production, it allows a balanced function for these muscles to work correctly.

The emphasis is to activate correct breathing patterns and release tension around the larynx, improving the quality of the voice.

The majority of issues I see with singers fall into the broad category of Muscle Tension Dysphonia (MTD). This is where increased tension in the vocal musculature leads to a variety of symptoms which can include breathiness,

hoarseness, pitch changes, breaks, weakness etc., and can manifest with or without pain or discomfort. Usually there is no frank damage to the cords themselves, although this can be a sequela in extreme cases. So what can lead to this muscle tension?

If we look at where the vocal apparatus sits in the context of the whole body, then we can start to understand this better. The vocal apparatus is made up of the larynx (housing the vocal cords), the thyroid and cricoid cartilages and the hyoid bone, which serves as an attachment point for many of the extrinsic muscles associated with phonation. The hyoid is a unique bone in the body in that it does not articulate (join with) any other bone – it is literally suspended in space by the sling of muscles that surrounds it.

by treatment once an optimal neutral posture is found and the muscle function is better understood, much of this strain disappears. Losing one’s voice is a loss of self,issues can often lead to the voice becoming dissociated from whole body. By working from the feet up, we can reintegrate the voice into the body and allow for the freedom of expression, which serves as the inspiration for all singers

Today, acupuncturists receive at least 3 to 4 years of extensive and comprehensive graduate training at nationally certified University in Japan USA.

All acupuncturists must pass a series of national exams and meet strict guidelines to practice in every state.

Acupuncture is compatible with other medical treatments and healing modalities.

​

Acupuncture is extremely useful in the treatment of certain kinds of medical problems which do not respond readily to Western medical remedies. For example, in conditions involving chronic pain, acupuncture represents an alternative which is usually more effective and beneficial than drug therapy.

When analgesic drugs are used over long periods of time, undesirable side effects often develop. Acupuncture, on the other hand, is extremely safe, effective and free from side effects.

However, acupuncture and Western Medicine are not mutually exclusive. Very often, acupuncture is used in conjunction with Western medical and surgical treatments and proves very satisfactory.
