Japanese acupuncture's theory base provides an accurate, easily-understood feedback system for your treatments. Every time you treat, you know what worked and what didn't. You know how accurate your diagnosis is. You know exactly what to try next when your treatments fail. This feedback will help you to grow at an exponential rate.
Japanese acupuncture provides a theoretically deep yet enormously practical perspective on using five element points. These points are the most potent points on the body, and you can learn how to apply them to every situation for fantastic results. Japanese acupuncture's skill set is incredibly effective and refined. You will learn a wide range of techniques that will give you enormous flexibility and power in clinic.
Done correctly, Japanese acupuncture is far less painful than conventional TCM acupuncture. With Japanese Acupuncture you can access an enormous and lucrative marketplace of people who are terrified of painful needling technique.
Japanese Acupuncture is particularly effective for stubborn, chronic conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and post viral syndromes. These fields are woefully underserviced by both the conventional and complementary medicine industries. Japanese Acupuncture is the final port of call for many chronically exhausted folks.
Alan Says: "Japanese acupuncture is an incredible system. However, until now, it has not been particularly accessible. You used to have to track down one of a handful of english-speaking Japanese acupuncturists who is qualified to teach the system, and become an apprentice. I have taught hundreds of apprentices. These students have gone to establish highly successful practices all around the world.

The Art of Japanese Acupuncture By Alan Jansson It is exactly 2 weeks since my return from Ikeda sensei's clinic and I am only just beginning to get a sense of what I learned. At sensei's clinic in Imabari, Japan, conversation was at a premium, a direct result of my diabolical Japanese literacy levels. Ikeda sensei's teaching was almost exclusively in the doing and my learning was in direct proportion to my awareness. . . . keep reading
Japanese Acupuncture, Deep Needling and Zusanli ST-36 Alan Jansson Many acupuncture texts say that it was safe to needle Zusanli up to a depth of 5cm and commonly to a depth of 3cms. Why randomly needle to that depth? Because we can? Because it is 'safe' to do so? Deeper the better? . . . keep reading
Japanese Acupuncture for Severe Hangover Alan Jansson On Monday I treated Vivian who had a few extra champagnes on the previous Thursday night and woke up Friday morning in diabolical shape, vomiting incessantly throughout the day, a scenario that settled into a permanent state of nausea with an accompanying headache and extreme lethargy. In the short, she spent most of Friday, Saturday and Sunday in bed. I have been treating Vivian was several years and in the process we have managed to put the previously chronic and incessant migraine headaches well and truly into the background. . . . keep reading
Japanese Acupuncture Self-Treatment for Influenza Alan Jansson Whilst the common perception that acupuncture is an effective treatment for pain and discomfort is right on the mark, but there is so much more that we as practitioners can do for our patients. So, how did I cure myself of the flu? . . . keep reading
A Vital Qi/Ki/Key to Establishing a Successful Acupuncture Practice. Alan Jansson Do you treat with your patient antenna up and running? During traditional acupuncture treatment I believe that there is a discernible, supremely subtle energetic interaction between patient and practitioner. I believe the practitioners energetic intention is clearly communicated to the patient through touch, vibration and yes…. you guessed it….steel needles. . . . keep reading
Japanese Acupuncture Provides Relief for Severe Illness Following Gastrectomy Alan Jansson I am not necessarily referring to needling to a depth of 1/2 to 1 ½ cun on every or in some instances, any point! If you believe that you can only achieve creditable clinical outcomes through deeper needling and/or mechanical stimulation please read on. The mother of one of my colleagues recently had a complete gastrectomy and as you might expect was feeling a little worse for wear… In fact her health was failing dramatically; much of the joy of life had been squeezed out of her. Full of unspoken desperation she was coming to me for some…any respite! . . . keep reading
A Road Less Travelled: An Aussie's perspective of Traditional Acupuncture in Japan in the 21st century Alan Jansson As always, upon leaving 'down under' for 'the land of the rising sun' I had little expectation from my journey to Japan other than to take in, observe, osmose if you like, some of the knowledge, skill, experience and that indefinable essence that reverberates through the clinics of those who practise the art of Traditional Acupuncture and Moxibustion. This was to be a learning journey, the objective, to refine and develop my capacity to practise Traditional Acupuncture. . . . keep reading
The Treatment of One Year Olds - Jarvis and Charlotte Alan Jansson Jarvis's general health was compromised by his very early introduction to antibiotics. His parents had taken him on a trip to Europe, from an early Australian autumn (30deg.C) to the European spring (single figures), a massive adjustment for a fully grown adult let alone the two-month-old infant. One respiratory infection and two courses of antibiotics later, he wasn't going to die however his entire digestive system had been detrimentally affected. . . . keep reading
The Treatment Of Newborn Children By Alan Jansson I recently treated my youngest patient at 3 1/2 weeks....an amazing experience indeed! I did not use needles for this little one, instead using my hands and a beautiful instrument called a shonishin. About the same size as a small pencil and made from copper or brass. Liam presented with a very bloated tummy, extremely restless with a diabolically disturbed sleep pattern that was depriving his parents, his sister, not to mention his tiny self of much needed rest and he was significantly constipated. He was delivered by caesarian section at 32 weeks, hence he was a little jaundiced and his liver gall bladder complex functionally compromised. . . . keep reading
Acupuncture for Life Threatening Liver Disease Recently I had a client present in clinic with quite severe right hypochondriac pain. The day before they had been subjected to an ultrasound examination that required the firm placement of a metal sensor throughout the area. My client felt rather ginger after the examination and things didn't get any better overnight. Please allow me to put you in the picture slightly, . . . keep reading
