This is a Japanese style of acupuncture which involves testing abdominal reflexes correlating to each acupuncture meridian to find the points that balance the meridian before inserting the acupuncture needle. Japanese acupuncture is considered much more mild than TCM or traditional chinese medicine needling techniques. Japanese acupuncturists tend to use thinner needles and insert them much more shallowly in comparison to chinese acupuncture. Japanese acupuncture in America has been stylized by Kiiko Matsumoto and Nagano Style acupuncture and Miki Shima's abdominal diagnosis seminars. These two incredible Japanese acupuncturists have made Japanese acupuncture a popular and effective treatment for muscle, joint, neurological symptoms, but may be better known for dealing with women's reproductive and menstrual disorders.
This gentle technique is used to try to balance the nervous system, and eliminate aches and pains such as in the neck, back, and shoulders. It may also be helpful in eliminating headaches, fatigue, sleep trouble, digestive problems, mood swings and irritability, and sinus and allergy trouble.
