Tele-Acupuncture is a kind of Telemedicine not to offer consultations but to offer treatment at a distance using visual information and the theory of acupuncture medicine.

The followings are the impressions from the patients who experienced Tele-Acupuncture.
​
50s Female with stress, neck pain
I want to thank you for doing telephone acupuncture on me today . Since we have to adhere to proper social distancing to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus, I really appreciate you accommodating me with telephone acupuncture. It really helped me relieve soreness and stiffness that I was having in my neck. It also relieved stress that I have been experiencing at this time. Thanks again!
 
40s Male with tightness and pain in his neck and upper body
I could certainly feel the energy flow as my upper body and neck was very tense and tight on the left side through my trap area. In just a 20 min. session I was more relaxed, I was breathing better and more importantly my neck muscles on the left side started to lengthen as I decompressed. 
The session was definitely beneficial and I highly recommend it! 
 
60s Female with stress, dryness and pain in her eyes
I thought today’s tele-Acupuncture session went well.  I didn’t know what to expect, so I was a little anxious at first. Since I am very open to the healing effects of acupuncture and qigong, I’m not sure from just one session if the calmness I felt was indeed from tele-acupuncture.  I did notice, though, after returning from a three mile walk, I did not have to put eye drops in my eyes. Also, my mood has improved.

40s Female with neck pain
During my session, my body became more relaxed, easing my pain.  The Tele-Acupuncture allowed me to practice mindfulness in my own home while receiving my treatment.  After my treatment, I noticed my shoulder and chest had improved including my flexibility in my neck.

​This is a case treated with Tele-Acupuncture showing what is expected with this treatment method.
​
The patient was a man in 80s who had had acute high blood pressure due to heart problems. His blood pressure lowered and became stable and there were no symptoms related to his chest. This time his complaints were limited range of motion in his left shoulder and pain in his left ankle.
 
When he tried to bring his left arm behind his back, his shoulder hurt and couldn’t bring his arm behind his back at all. First, I scanned and regulated the energy starting from the center line and then both sides of his torso, having him sit facing to me. I asked him to check his shoulder. The range of motion of his shoulder got a little better.
 
I scanned and treated around his neck and shoulder and then between the shoulder blades concentrating my focus deep in his body. I asked him to check his shoulder again. The range of motion got much improved and he could bring his left arm behind his back as far as his right arm.
 
Next, I asked him where he felt pain in his ankle. He said it didn’t hurt with movements at that time, but hurt outside of his left ankle when he pressed with his finger.
 
I asked him to show me his left leg and ankle, putting his left foot on the chair. I scanned from his left knee to his foot and removed the energy from where the energy was stagnated and supplied energy to where was needed. I asked him to press around his left ankle where he felt pain before. Since he couldn’t find painful points, I finished the session at this point.

Tele-Acupuncture is a kind of Telemidicine and scientific long distance treatment using visual information and the theory of Acupuncture medicine.

​Tele-Acupuncture provides you with not only consultation like advising you what to do or what to eat provided by Telemedicine or Telehealth, but also treatment at a distance using visual information.
 
This treatment method is not some kind of supernatural power but scientific treatment method. That means everybody can do it if they learn the method.

Because this is not psychic stuff, it is necessary to have visual information to diagnose and treat.

Tele-Acupuncture involves two parts: Scan and Treatment

Scan:
When I scan your body, I use my eyes. When my eyes come to unhealthy area of your body, my body receive the energy and gets affected by that like my muscle becomes tight. I use this information to decide where to treat.

Treatment:
Treatment has 3 sections.
 
Regulating 7 Chakras
Chakras are the main energy centers of the body and important acupuncture points. So when I directly treat patients in my clinic, I start with releasing this center line first.

When Chakras are too open or too closed, that affects the body parts around the related Chakras. For example, if the 4th Chakra which is located on your chest is too closed or too open, you could have lung problems or heart problems.

So Tele-Acupuncture balances the opening and closing of 7 Chakras first. Only by this treatment, some of the pain and/or tightness often disappears.

Regulating Internal Organs
After regulating 7 Chakras, I scan and treat the internal organs which are located in the both sides of the center line. This concept is the same as acupuncture.

When you have any healthy issues like low back pain or neck pain, it can be caused by the problem of organs' energy.

Unblocking stagnated energy
I scan the body including the area where you have pain or other health issues and remove stagnated energy or supply energy to improve the flow of the energy in the area, leading to relieving pain, tightness or uncomfortable feeling.
 
This treatment method is performed through video chat, using the method used at the clinic when I usually diagnose, decide acupuncture points to treat.

The differences between Tele-Acupuncture and Acupuncture at the clinic

In Tele-Acupuncture, I use my eyes instead of hands to scan the body and I use finger-needles instead of needles to treat.

In the sense of removing stagnated energy and supplying required energy, Tele-Acupuncture is the same as Acupuncture at the clinic.

Tele-Acupuncture is a kind of Telemidicine that is scientific long distance treatment using visual information and the theory of Acupuncture medicine.

​The following is a case of Tele-Acupuncture treatment.

​A woman in her 40s was complaining about the pain in her right neck and shoulder area to her right chest when she moved her neck since 5 days ago.
 
First, I asked her to move her neck. When she turned her neck to the right, looked down and tilted her head to both sides, she felt pain in her right shoulder to her right chest.
 
I scanned and regulated the energy on the center line of her body with finger-needles through the screen, while she was sitting on a chair, facing to me. Then I asked her to check if she still felt pain by moving her neck. She said she still felt pain when she tilt her head to the right.
 
So this time I scanned and regulated the energy on her right side from the neck to lower abdomen and then on her left side. I asked her to check again and she didn’t feel any pain around her right shoulder to her right chest when she tilted her head to the right.
 
At this point, there were no pain, but I asked her to turn around and show her back to me. I scanned the center line and both sides of her back and regulated the energy, especially around her low back to buttocks because she told me she had had pain in her right hip to leg the day before this session, though  there was no pain at the time of the session.
 
2 days later she had the second session. She still felt tightness on her right shoulder to upper back with turning and tilting her head to the right, though pain in her right chest disappeared.
 
So I did the same treatment. When I finished the treatment on her front side, the tightness from her right shoulder to her upper back with the movement of her neck was already gone.
 
I also scanned and regulated the energy on her back and finished the course of Tele-Acupuncture treatment for the pain in her right neck, shoulder and chest.

How to set up your device to shoot the required area for the treatment

To shoot the required area that is from the top of the head to the lower abdomen, I think that it seems better to put your device on the height of a chair when you sit on a chair as shown below. Most people tried to shoot from somewhere higher than their abdomen like a table and they had difficult time to show me the lower part of the required area for the treatment.

A man in his 80s called me and  said that his blood pressure elevated to 214 on his right arm and 180 on his left arm, and felt not good.
 
He was anxious because he had heart problems as preexisting condition. I Skyped to him and scanned his body having him sit facing me. Most stagnations were located in his chest and above. Starting from the center line of his body from the head to the lower abdomen, I unblocked the stagnation from the front of his body.

The left side of his chest had layers that some parts need energy and other parts need to unblock the energy as shown in the following Fig. I treated his left chest layer by layer.
 
After the session, he told me that he felt much calmer and his chest became loosened.
 
When he had the second session 3 days later, he reported me about the change of his blood pressure after the first session:
 
Before the session: 214
Right after the session: 154
The day on the second session: 152

I introduced Tele-Acupuncture recently.

Tele-Acupuncture is a kind of Telemidicine that is scientific long distance treatment using visual information and the theory of Acupuncture medicine.

So I want to share some cases treated with Tele-Acupuncture below.

​If you are still skeptical to Tele-Acupuncture, I think you can get some idea about Tele-Acupuncture.

Case 1
A woman in her 30s was complaining about difficulty breathing, sore throat, low back pain, neck pain and very anxious due to the current situation.

I scanned her body with her sitting on her bed facing to me. I detected energy stagnation mostly in her upper body and unblocked the stagnated energy with finger-needles. I asked her to check how she felt now. She told me that low back and neck and sore throat got better, but still had difficulty breathing. I scanned her body again and detected some stagnation in the center and lower part of her chest, so unblocked the stagnated energy. This time she told me she could breathe easily.
 
Case 2
The same woman as Case 1 was feeling stiffness in her neck and shoulder, low back pain in the center, both legs were sore in any posture (3 days after the 1st session).

She told me that breathing and sore throat got better and she could sleep better. I asked her to sit facing me and scanned her body. Energy Stagnation was mostly located in her upper body.

After unblocking the stagnated energy, she still felt stiffness in her neck and shoulders and low back pain, so I asked her to sit showing her back. I scanned her back and detected stagnated energy in her left upper back and both sides of her low back.

After unblocking the stagnated energy, I asked her to check her body again. This time shed didn’t feel stiffness in her neck and shoulders and low back pain.

Because she still felt soreness in her legs, I asked her to stand up showing her legs. As I unblocked the energy flow of her legs, she told me her legs didn’t hurt.
 
Case 3
A woman in her 70s was complaining that her left neck to arm had hurt and tingly for a week.

I asked her to sit showing her head to lower abdomen and scanned her Chakras and regulated stagnated ones and asked her how she felt. She still felt pain and tingling sensation in her left neck to arm. 

This time I scanned her left side of her body and detected stagnated energy in her neck, elbow and wrist, and the space above her shoulder. After unblocking the stagnated energy in these area, she felt neither any pain nor tingling sensation in her left neck and arm.
 
Case 4
A man in his 40s was complaining about pain in his left neck, tightness in his low back, pain in his mid-back and tightness and pain in his left thigh to knee.

First, I scanned and regulated Chakras and internal organs from his front side and asked him to check his neck, but he still felt some pain in his left side.

Next, I asked him to show his back in his sitting position and scanned his back. I unblocked stagnated energy in his neck, left shoulder blade, mid-back and low back. He told me that he still felt tightness in his mid-back, so I unblocked remaining stagnated energy in his mid-back and he felt better.

Next, I asked him to stand up showing his lower body and unblocked the stagnated energy around his left thigh and knee. He didn’t feel any pain and tightness in his left knee, but he complained about the tightness in his left buttock area, so I unblocked stagnated energy in his left buttock to hip joint, and the tightness in his left buttock was gone.

​Because he still felt some pain in the left side of his neck, I unblocked the stagnated energy around his left neck from his left side and front side. This time pain in his left neck also disappeared.
 
Though I treated him from various positions like the front, back and side in his sitting position, the front and back in his standing position, the session could finish within 20 minutes.

I'm still here to help you!

Due to the spread of the Coronavirus infection, you must feel very stressful physically and mentally.
 
I closed my clinic 3 weeks ago and it is not sure when I can start my acupuncture clinic again.
 
But I’m still here to help you.
 
As an alternative, I decided to provide Tele-Acupuncture.
 
I’ve been using this treatment method to treat my parents who live on opposite sides of the earth where is 10,000 km (6,250 miles) away from Salem, MA.
 
Now I would like to share this treatment method to help you improve your physical and mental stress.

Why can Tele-Acupuncture treat patients through video chat? 

This treatment method is not some kind of supernatural power but scientific treatment method (it means everybody can make it happen if they learn the method), so it is necessary to have visual information to diagnose and treat.
 
Scientific explanation of Tele-Acupuncture is:
All of our body parts have its own frequency (vibration) like the frequency of the muscle is 80 Hz. If the frequency of the body part is too high or too low, that is not healthy condition. The condition of the frequency can be detected by our eyes, which is the most sensitive sensory organ, through the screen. When we receive the unhealthy frequency through our eyes, that can distort our body. So I scan the body with my eyes, detect the body part with unhealthy frequency, recognize the distortion in my body and improve the frequency with finger-needles through the screen.
 
As long as I can see you over the screen, the distance doesn’t matter.

Lastly...

If the world hadn't turned into this kind of situation, I would have never thought I would provide Tele-Acupuncture that I had only used for my parents in Japan.
 
But to tell you the truth, I’m the one who is surprised the most at the effect of Tele-Acupuncture as much as I’m starting to think that I might not be necessary to be an acupuncturist using real needles at the clinic, though I know physical touch is a very important part of healing modalities.
 
Until I can start to treat you in-person, I will try my best to help you, using Tele-Acupuncture.

I’m looking forward to seeing you over the screen.
