Japanese acupuncture significantly differs from other styles in its delicacy.The obvious differences between Japanese and, say, Chinese practice, are that the needles are far finer (using needles barely thicker than a human hair), and that they are inserted often barely deeper than 1 or 2mm, with an absolute minimum of manipulation. These techniques demand far greater precision and care than normal acupuncture. Whilst this is a challenge for the practitioner, it is a welcome bonus for the recipient - for its methods of needling are, to all intents and purposes, painless.
