Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been gaining respect in the U.S. lately. Over 8 million Americans have so far used acupuncture for various conditions, according to National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a government agency. Many researchers used to think the effect of the acupuncture treatment was due to the placebo effect. However, more evidence such as brain scans, ultrasound and functional MRI show that acupuncture triggers direct, measurable effects on the body.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of medical problems.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) also recognizes efficacy of acupuncture in their Consensus Development Conference Statement in November 1997.

Acupuncture is effectively used to treat the following problems:

• ALLERGIES/ASTHMA
• ANXIETY/DEPRESSION
• ARTHRITIS
• NECK/SHOULDER/KNEE/BACK PAIN
• COMMON COLD/FLU
• CONSTIPATION/DIARRHEA
• DIABETES
• GYNECOLOGICAL DISORDERS
• HEADACHES
• IMPOTENCE/INFERTILITY
• INSOMNIA
• LOW ENERGY
• SCIATICA
• SKIN PROBLEMS
• SMOKING SECESSION
• STRESS
• WEIGHT LOSS …. and many more

I was lucky enough to live in Japan, and received amazing world class shiatsu there. When I returned to the States, I could not find a good shiatsu master, so I gave up looking for many years.

When I met Masako, I first went to her for acupuncture, and found her to be very good. She was also very knowledgeable about life balance and herbs. When I found out she did shiatsu, I decided to take a chance and I’m glad I did.

Masako is in the class of the shiatsu masters I found in Japan. Masako is very deep and has great knowledge and experience, and she also has something else which is very important.
Masako has compassion and an intuitive sense of what we need beyond technique.

Just walking into her office calms me down and makes me feel better. I have every confidence that anyone would be able to be helped by Masako and her many talents.
