The acupuncture approach taken at East West Healing mostly reflects the Japanese Meridian Therapy approach, with Manaka methods and Chinese acupuncture also applied when appropriate.
Acupuncture has a long tradition as a healing medicine and has its origins in China over 2000 years ago. Since that time, the medicine has been exposed to the various cultural and philosophical influences of various countries, mostly in East Asia. Japan was one such country that over time developed a rich and eclectic tradition based on the Chinese Classic Texts, as well as innovative, contemporary thinking and technology.
