About Japanese Style Acupuncture
Japanese needles are much thinner than Chinese needles. Thus, the patient feels almost no pain. In Japanese style acupuncture, the skin surface is poked frequently and it improves the balance of the subtle energy. The needle is very slender.
Electricity is flowing on the body surface and a shallow needle such as the Japanese needle may increase negative ions of the body and reduce active oxygen (the origin of fatigue). Also it may improve Endorphins (a painkiller stronger than morphine) in the brain.
After a consultation with Dr. Kiyo Tsubakiyama, we will recommend the best services for your condition and goals.

Acupuncture
Our style of Acupressure is the massage that Mr. Namikoshi started about fifty years ago in Japan. You will have the same effect that you get from acupuncture by pressing the therapeutic point. It also relaxes muscles and is very effective against stiff neck, back pain, and improving general health.
