These 5,000 years old method of treatment was developed in China and has been adopted by the West over the past hundred years.
It should be noted that Japanese medicine is in fact one of the schools of Chinese medicine and is based on the same basic assumptions.
Modern Japanese acupuncture combines the anatomic-physiological structure of the body and its state of health.
Japanese acupuncture focuses on three principle systems: free flowing of blood and energy through the body, functioning and maintenance of the hormonal system and functioning of the immune system.
Diagnosis is done through touching the influential points of the body called reflexes, which attest to the patient's physical and energetic state.
Japanese acupuncture is designed for everyone. The needles themselves are very delicate, preventing any sense of pain or discomfort.
