Japanese Acupuncture

Acupuncture came to Japan from China about 1500 years ago, and in that time the Japanese have made great adaptations and innovations to the practice of acupuncture.

Japanese acupuncture has all the benefits of Chinese acupuncture, and is known primarily to be gentler in approach, yet quite dynamic in action. Finer needles are used, and insertions tend to be more superficial than in Chinese systems.

Japanese styles have been influenced by a tradition of blind physicians as well as the philosophy of Zen Buddhism.
