How is Japanese Acupuncture different than Chinese Acupuncture?
Japanese acupuncture generally involves thinner and smaller needles than Chinese acupuncture. Japanese acupuncture also tends to employ shallower (but not less effective) insertions than Chinese acupuncture. Most patients find that Japanese acupuncture treatments are more relaxing and cause significantly less discomfort than the more common Chinese acupuncture. Often, patients are not even aware that needles have been inserted.
