WHAT IS JAPANESE ACUPUNCTURE?

Kiiko Matsumoto (K.M) style Japanese acupuncture is a world-renowned style of acupuncture that has been chosen by Harvard Medical School for its doctors to study and use to treat patients.

Japanese acupuncture can uniquely allow you to instantly verify changes to your body's energy and your symptoms during the actual acupuncture session.

The acupuncturist uses a systematic palpatory sequence that establishes a diagnosis and suggests treatment options. (Palpation is the ability to gain information through touch and it is a key aspect of this style of acupuncture).

K.M style Japanese acupuncture addresses your health complaint from several levels, for example, by examining the constitutional imbalances often underlying symptoms.

Because of this the acupuncturist can typically help achieve a very effective and lasting solution to the presenting health issue. Because of this it's especially helpful in providing solutions in the more complex and difficult cases.

WHAT CAN JAPANESE ACUPUNCTURE TREAT?

Acupuncture can treat a wide range of common ailments and problems. It has been proven effective in treating the following conditions, among many others: arthritis, back pain, migraines, sports injury, hypertension, PMS, stress, menopause, menstrual irregularities, depression, anxiety, fatigue, allergies, digestive problems, asthma, sleep disturbance, tennis elbow, sinusitis and shoulder pain.

Japanese acupuncture is especially effective for pain relief, chronic conditions, or conditions that have been resistant to change with other therapeutic modalities.

K.M style Japanese Acupuncture involves the use of the best quality needles available, coated ultra fine Japanese 'Pain Free' needles. This is especially helpful for those with pain conditions and for individuals who are needle phobic.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A TREATMENT?

First an in-depth consultation is carried out. This involves the acupuncturist asking you a variety of relevant questions, e.g. details about your main problem, your overall health and lifestyle etc. The therapist will then visually examine your tongue and check your pulse.

In practice, Japanese acupuncture also involves distinguishing areas of active sensitivity, on the abdomen and other muscle structures. Then with your co-operation, the acupuncturist identifies and needles the correct relieving set of acupuncture points.

With this procedure, both you and the therapist can monitor the progress of the treatment straight away. This method of immediate feedback from the crosschecking method also lets the practitioner and patient immediately bring about verifiable change in the body's energy and help quickly restore wellness.

Chinese acupuncture is used with Japanese acupuncture to resolve the ailment. The actual technique of acupuncture used involves inserting single use, disposable fine needles to acupuncture points on the body that are retained for various amounts of time.

The therapist may also use adjunct therapies, where required, at no extra cost. These include for example, moxibustion (holding a smoking warm stick of compacted herbs close to the body) and cupping (using the vacuum created within glass cups to create therapeutic suction for the body).

Your practitioner will then advise you then on how often you need to come for treatment, this may be weekly, bi-monthly etc (the frequency will depend on your condition).

To end, traditional oriental dietary therapy advice and lifestyle recommendations are often given to minimise the influence of the root cause of your problem.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO WORK?

Many people find significant changes after their first treatment, however it may take an average of 8 treatments to bring about the most effective and lasting changes.

The number of sessions you will need essentially depend on a variety of factors e.g. how long you have been dealing with your condition, how serious it is, your core energy levels, how often you can come for treatment and your commitment to making any necessary changes which would help you attain your health goals.

During your first treatment your practitioner should give you an idea of what your treatment will entail if you wish to go ahead with it.
