Bryan’s
treatment
Bryan’s main style of acupuncture comes from his
Japanese teacher Shogo Mochazuki. His
teacher comes from a well respected family linage from Japan. Shogo’s Mochizuki also has studied with
multiple Masters outside his family linage in treating physical body for pain. In
this traditional style of Japanese acupuncture you will receive about 15min of
Anma (Japanese massage) prior to acupuncture.
There are two main benefits to this, one is that the practitioner can
receive tactile information in determining muscle tightness and weakness, the
second benefit is that it serves as a means of treatment to increase blood
circulation to problematic areas. Massage
also helps to calm the nervous system, allowing the body to enter into a deeper
healing state prior to acupuncture.
This rare traditional style of treatment, has
existed for hundreds of years, however is practiced by few in the United
States.
What to expect
There will be a detailed case history of your pain
pattern and a treatment plan with an estimated time of recovery. Acupuncture sessions are virtually painless
and the needles are disposable and not reused. It is better to have eaten a little before an
acupuncture session. This will prevent
you from being too tired after the session.
Recovery Time
The efficiency of acupuncture depends on:
1. The status of self-healing potential of the body (e.g., the healthier
person is, the better self-healing potential).
2. The potential heal ability of the symptoms (e.g., acute low back pain
heals quicker then chronic low back pain). This is why different patients
respond differently to the same acupuncture treatment.
On average acute pain (1 to 6 months) can be completely relieved in 2 to
8 treatments, chronic pain (6 months to 3+ years) takes about 8 to 16
treatments.
Many people use acupuncture and massage to maintain optimal health.
Acupuncture and Anma has been used for centuries as the Eastern health care
system. This system is a true insurance plan that prevents for costly
medical bills in the future. You do not
need to be in pain to benefit from acupuncture and Anma. These systems are essential for helping you
maintain the health you already have.
For centuries,
Asian people have understood acupuncture and massage to be a proven method for
correcting acute and chronic pain conditions and maintaining strong health and
longevity. Come in to experience this ancient and result-based healing
