What makes Acupuncture WaRan so Unique?
Simply put, the fundamental of acupuncture WaRan is not Qi(Chi) & Meridian.
Qi is often translated as vital energy. Meridians are the pathways where Qi flows. Qi & meridians are the fundamental concepts of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). We never deny these concepts, but does not depend on them.
The fundamental of acupuncture WaRan is SEIDO acupuncture, which focuses on recovering natural motion of a body.
By implementing SEIDO acupuncture, we promises you the best outcomes with ;
1. Minimum Number of Needles (None-Invasive)
You don't have to look like a porcupine in order to feel the effect of acupuncture. You will be amazed by how one tiny needle can affect your body.
Releasing Only Over Tension
Our acupuncture method is perfect for athletes and artists who are sensitive about their muscle conditions. Therapies like acupuncture and massage are good at releasing muscle tension. But approaching the painful or tight muscle directly may increase the risk of releasing too much muscle tension. If you release too much muscle tension, muscle cannot work properly. This may lead to motion dis-coordination and lower performance. Our acupuncture method enables us to release only over tension. You do not have to worry about the risk of releasing too much muscle tension.

2. Minimum Time Lag (Works Immediately)
When used precisely, you should be able to feel the effectiveness of acupuncture right away. Each needle changes your body. If a lot of needles are used at once, this effect would be ambiguous. This enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment at the site. We take a pride in each needle we use and make differences with each one.
Evaluating the effectiveness at the site makes it easier to estimate how many treatments are necessary to eliminate or ease your symptoms. If a lot of needles are used at once, precise evaluation would be difficult.
However, you are always welcome to come back for maintenance purposes!
Tension Theory
When you suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, their causes are not at the local pain spot in most cases. For example, when you have elbow pain, treating the elbow does not solve the problem. This is one reason why it usually takes time to treat those symptoms.
The tension theory of SEIDO acupuncture tells us where to look for the real causes. So, you can feel the difference right away.
