Acupuncture has been used in China and other Asian countries for several thousand years to treat illness and promote well-being. In other countries, different styles of acupuncture were developed to meet the specific needs of people from their cultures.
In Japan, acupuncture was developed to suit the sensibilities and constitution of the Japanese people - using thinner needles and shallower insertion to perform much milder stimulation than any other styles of acupuncture.The Japanese acupuncture theory and needle technique can be applied to anyone of any age, including infants and elders.

Pediatric Acupuncture
Report
Ms. Okabe is also specialized in pediatric acupuncture with many years of pediatric acupuncture experience. She uses the special pediatric acupuncture tools called "Sho-ni-shin" (means pediatric acupuncture needles) which were invented in Japan about 300 years ago. They are used to gently scrape, roll, or tap specific areas of the skin.
Faq
Report
A. We use Japanese gentle and painless technique with very fine Japanese needles; therefore, the treatment should never be painful. With a gentle insertion technique, many patients may not even feel the presence of needles. A. Acupuncture is absolutely safe. We use only high quality, newly wrapped, pre-sterilized, disposable needles imported from Japan.
