Acupuncture needles are much finer than needles for injections and blood tests. Acupuncture needles are inserted a few millimeters below the skin at chosen point along the channels of energy. Sometimes it may go a bit deeper when it aiming for muscle to release stagnation. Single use disposable stainless steel needles are used. The sensation may be either dull or described as tingling or aches, with the intention of stimulating the body`s own healing response and help restore and maintain its natural balance.

Frequency of treatments will depend on the individual`s condition. Generally though, a course of acupuncture may involve weekly visits initially, followed by fortnightly intervals. As you improve, less visits will be required. Alongside acupuncture, the use of Moxabustion(burn the herb Artemisia Vulgaris to give heat sensation) and the application of cups may be included in a treatment.

You will be required to lie or sit on a table for acupuncture treatment or ear acupuncture.

You will be required to change clothes which we provide for treatment.

Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine filiform needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes. According to Traditional Chinese Medical theory, acupuncture points are situated on meridians along which Qi(the vital energy) flows.

The WHO, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) of National Institute of Health (NIH), The America Medical Association (AMA) and various government reports have studied and commented on the efficacy of acupuncture. There is general agreement that acupuncture is safe when administered by well-trained practitioners using sterile needles.

Acupuncture’s origins are uncertain. The earliest Chinese medical text that first describes acupuncture is the Yellow Emperor`s Classic of Internal Medicine (history of acupuncture) Huangdi Neijing, which was complied around 305-204 B.C.

The touch conscious style of the blind Acupuncturists which permeates the Traditional Japanese practice of meridian therapy and pulse diagnosis goes hand in glove with the massage methods of both Shiatsu and Anma. Shiatsu uses the meridians with pressure applied by thumbs. Anma is more of a rocking, gently percussive style which works on the musculo-skeletal system, while western massage is primarily lymph based.

Traditional Japanese Shiatsu detoxifies the body, increases flexibility, improves blood circulation and reduces blood pressure, so it is excellent for those who just want to feel great. Finger pressure and stretching techniques smooth and nourish the flow of Qi through your body`s meridian system.

Shiatsu is also highly therapeutic – it is the only form of massage based on 3000 years of accumulated medical wisdom. The benefits of regular Shiatsu in managing stress and promoting well-being cannot be underestimated.

At Shibaura acupuncture clinic, Shiatsu can be received either as 30minutes for partial treatment or 60minutes for whole body treatment.

The Thompson Technique utilizes a “Segmental Drop Table” to enhance the motion of the segment or area to be adjusted, most commonly the mid-back, low back and pelvic area. Leg length checks, palpation and other appropriate tests may be used by the Thompson practitioner in determining where to adjust.

The Segmental Drop System takes advantage of the spine’s inherent design of the joints in order to move the spinal segment in the direction that will improve the motion of the segment with the one above and below. The majority of spinal adjusting done utilizing the Thompson Technique has the patient lying prone (face down).

The drop mechanism is based on Newton’s First Law of Motion, which states: “A body is in equilibrium if no force is acting upon it. If it is at rest, it remains so; if in motion, it persists in motion, unless an opposing force is met.”Newton’s First Law is the basis for the low force, high velocity adjustment that is safer for the patient and easier on the doctor.

In addition to spinal adjusting, the Thompson Table is also used for upper cervical (neck) adjusting, allowing for a very comfortable toggle recoil adjustment. The drop mechanism of the table also allows for easier manipulation of most of the joints in the body, as well as the extremities, ribs, TMJ and clavicle adjustments. There is usually no “popping or cracking” with a Thompson Drop Table Adjustment – unless you are hearing the “pop” or “crack” of the table!
