Although it may be difficult to exactly define Japanese acupuncture, there are a few distinct differences when compared to the traditional Chinese method.
After a brief section about his credentials and work experience, Alan Jansson will introduce you to some of the basic principles of this ancient healing art form, and he will provide you with resources for more information. What may concern you most: Japanese acupuncture treatments are dynamic, very gentle, and, due to the use of ultra-thin needles, virtually pain-free!
Alan has served as a board member of the Australian Acupuncture Association, as head of the acupuncture department of the Australian Institute of Applied Sciences, and as a senior lecturer at the Academy of Natural Therapies, Gold Coast TAFE.

Thank you for your interest in Japanese acupuncture. Feel free to ask your questions here!
ronpass, Hi, great to hear from you and learn your doing well. I'm thrilled to begin my own acupuncture journey. The body is an amazing collaboration.
#katiem2 Acupuncture is great for pain management and I know that Alan also uses Japanese acupuncture for post surgery healing (e.g. where people have had back disc removal or repair). My wife, two sons and I have been obtaining treatment from Alan for years now - for colds and flu, ankle injuries, pneumonia, sports injuries, chronic fatigue syndrome, headaches and stress. I was surprised myself how quickly this gentle form of acupuncture could get my pneumonia under control through building up my immune system and regenerating my body's own healing capacity.
WOW very cool, interesting and exciting. I was in a traumatic car accident this past July, had c-disc 3,4,5 and 6 repaired and now have a few bits and pieces of titanium in my spine. I recently completed 9 months of therapy and am still left in considerable pain. I take no pain meds, opted to never do that. I allow pain to determine what I can and cannot do. Anyway long story short, my neurologist suggest I seek acupuncture for pain management and to continue my healing, just learning about it and was very happy to find you here. Welcome to Wizzley, I look forward to learning more about acupuncture, particularly Japanese acupuncture in the very near future. :) K
