Treatment method
We perform acupuncture and dry needling with an emphasis on Western medical perspectives.
Though if healing proves difficult Eastern methods will also be incorporated.
This is a painless treatment and will hopefully not only temporarily take away pain but also prevent it from reoccurring.
Here we find the most effective treatment is to place the acupuncture needle directly into the hardened inner muscle, a trigger point, which is often the source of pain.
For deeper muscles such as the piriformis and psoas muscles a size 3 ~ 3.5 (approx. 10cm) needle is used.
This can be quite effective for severe back pain as well as trouble with the sciatic nerve.
For those with severe symptoms as well as those who are physically fit, heated acupuncture and blood-letting treatments can be performed as necessary.
Our specialities:
Sports injuries and motor issues (sprains, shoulder stiffness, lower back pain, slipped disk, neck/ shoulder pain or numbness, frozen shoulders, knee pain, whiplash, and sciatica)
Acupuncture and Moxibustion for sprains and muscle injuries are highly recommended for quick recovery/
The needles used:
Only disposable and completely sterilised needles are used.
Acupuncture needles vary depending of the needs of the patient and the ailment being treated.

施術方法：
西洋(現代)医学的な見方を重視して鍼をします。
それで治癒困難な場合東洋医学的な見方を取り入れます。
痛みをとること同時に、痛みが再発せず痛みが出ないような身体になるような施術を行います。
当院では痛みの原因になるトリガーポイントや神経を絞扼している硬くなったインナーマッスル、靭帯に直接鍼を打つことで、治療効果をあげています。
大腰筋や梨状筋など深部のインナーマッスルに対しては、3寸～3寸5分（約10ｃｍ）の鍼を直接患部に打ちます。
重度の腰痛や坐骨神経に著効があります。
症状のきつい人や体力のある人には、必要に応じて火鍼や刺絡などの特殊な鍼を行います。

スポーツ障害や運動器疾患（捻挫、肩こり、腰痛、ぎっくり腰、首・肩の痛みやしびれ、五十肩、膝痛、むちうち後遺症、坐骨神経痛）。
