After being introduced to Traditional Chinese Medicine and the integrated theories of acupuncture, bodywork, and herbal medicine in the 6th century, Japanese practitioners of acupuncture developed many unique theories and techniques. Japanese acupuncturists are dedicated to delivering precise and efficient needle usage. Techniques are directed towards using minimum amount of stimulation to get the best results possible.
A lot of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory is used in this form of acupuncture and most of the acupuncture points are used. Only a slight few of the points have been modified.
