Japanese Acupuncture
There are various styles of acupuncture that have developed over thousands of years. We primarily practice a Japanese style of acupuncture that has been popularized by Kiiko Matsumoto. Her method of palpation based acupuncture is powerful and is one of the most intelligent acupuncture systems that we've encountered. We have learned the system by following the accomplished teachers in this area such as Kiiko Matsumoto, David Euler, Holly Guzman and Avi Magidoff.
If you've been to other acupuncture clinics, the standard of care is an intake followed by an acupuncture treatment. A patient is asked to lay down on a table, acupuncture is performed and the patient usually lies for approximately 20 minutes. This structure is similar to what we do but extensive palpation is done before, during and after acupuncture needles are inserted. There are various reflex zones on the abdomen, chest, neck, arms and legs that are palpated; depending on what is painful/nodular/concave/cold, a physical diagnostic assessment is completed. This information guides us to prepare the acupuncture and possible herbal treatment.
We also practice the acupuncture styles of Richard Tan, Master Tung and Traditional Chinese Medicine. TCM acupuncture is the standard hospital acupuncture style that is practiced in the People's Republic of China.
