How We Treat
Are You Facing Challenges with Medical Consultations?
Do any of these phrases sound familiar during your visits to the doctor?
“Let’s monitor it for now!”
“We’ll prescribe some medication!”
“The cause is unknown!”
“No abnormalities found!”
“Surgery seems necessary!”
“It’s likely due to stress or aging!”
We understand how frustrating these responses can be when you’re seeking clear answers and effective treatment. Our goal is to provide a second opinion from the acupuncturist’s perspective, offering a more mechanical and tailored approach to addressing your concerns.
Providing Acupuncture-Based Second Opinions for Difficult-to-Treat Conditions
We offer second opinions from an acupuncture medicine perspective for challenging conditions, including:
Blood Stasis Syndrome (Oketsu-sho), 瘀血症（おけつしょう）
We provide treatment for various conditions associated with blood stasis, including:
- Head and Sensory Disturbance: Headaches, glaucoma, dry eyes, dizziness, sinusitis
- Sleep and Respiratory Issues: Insomnia, snoring
- Skin and Hair Disorders: Atopic dermatitis, shingles, alopecia areata (hair loss), acne, hyperpigmentation (spots, melasma), under-eye circles, Mouth ulcers, haemorrhoids
- Neurological and Movement Disorders: Parkinson’s disease
Treatment Policy
These conditions may be linked to a state where subcutaneous capillaries are blocked by blood stasis (thickened or clotted blood). To address this, we utilize a technique called shiraku, aiming to remove the blood stasis and restore normal circulation.
Muscle Paralysis Syndrome (Kinpi-sho), 筋痺症（きんぴしょう）
We provide treatment for a range of conditions associated with muscle dysfunction, including:
Common Conditions: Frozen shoulder, lower back strain, spinal canal stenosis, whiplash
Postural Issues: Hunchback, scoliosis, gait disturbances
Other Conditions: Varicose veins, tics, stuttering, bite misalignment, teeth grinding
Facial Concerns: Facial asymmetry, wrinkles, sagging, nasolabial folds, and more
Treatment Policy
This condition may arise when the natural interplay of muscle fibers is disrupted, leading to impaired flexibility and contraction. We employ a technique using goshin—long, fine needles—to loosen the fibers and help restore the muscles to a more flexible and functional state.
Bone Paralysis Syndrome (Kotsuhi-sho), 骨痺症（こつひしょう）
We offer treatment for conditions associated with bone and ligament dysfunction, including:
Joint Issues: Pain in the lower back, knees, hands, or feet; joint deformities
Postural Problems: Hyperlordosis (excessive curvature of the lower back)
Other Symptoms: Appetite disorders, constipation or diarrhea, frequent urination, arrhythmias, sleep paralysis
Reproductive and Digestive Concerns: Menstrual pain, infertility, bloating or a “protruding belly,” and more
Treatment Policy
This condition may result from an imbalance in the bones, ligaments, and supporting muscle groups, leading to impaired skeletal support for body weight and internal organ function. Our treatment aims to alleviate skeletal stiffness (bone paralysis) through a combination of: Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Stretching Techniques, and Hammer Percussion Techniques (inspired by Thai Traditional Medicine)
