How is Japanese Acupuncture different from Chinese Acupuncture?
Fewer and smaller needles are used and precise points are located by touch. The emphasis on touch has meant that acupuncture has long been a vocation for the blind in Japan. Japanese techniques are effective for illnesses of a fast-paced, urban culture. Whereas China remains largely rural, Japanese culture more closely resembles our own. As a result, Japanese acupuncture is uniquely effective for treating stress-related illnesses, postoperative pain, hormonal imbalances, and immune deficiencies.
