Relieve Pain with Japanese-Style Acupuncture

Note: the following article describes an event (a health seminar) that took place in October 2019 and is no longer active; it is retained here for historical context.

Japanese-style Acupuncture emphasizes a gentle, delicate needling technique. In Japanese-style Acupuncture, the needles used are small, thin, and sharper, allowing patients to feel as little discomfort as possible. This differs from TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Acupuncture, which typically uses wider, blunter needles with an emphasis on more assertive needle stimulation.

RUKUN Senior Living once again held a health seminar. This seminar took place on October 21, 2019, at 10:00 AM, with speaker Dr. Yovita Wijaya, Akp, from EMC Sentul Hospital. The event was free and open to the public.
