You deserve a doctor who takes care of you both mentally and physically.

At Japanese Healing we do our utmost to provide excellent treatments at an affordable cost. Insurance companies are increasingly beginning to include acupuncture coverage in their plans. Please be advised that all insurance companies are different with regards to benefits and coverage. Depending on your insurance plan’s coverage, there is a great chance that your out-of-pocket costs will be reduced.

At Japanese Healing we accept most PPO insurances. If you’d like to use your insurance, please first call your insurance company and verify what sort of coverage your plan offers for acupuncture services. Upon booking your appointment, our staff will re-verify your insurance benefits, clearly explain your coverage, and will take care of the insurance billing.

At Japanese Healing, our motto is “no pain and lots of gain!” When performed by a seasoned acupuncturist, you will find acupuncture to be very gentle and relaxing. 

Did you know that acupuncture needles are as thin as a strand of hair? At 1/5^th the thickness of injection needles, they are extremely thin and can smoothly penetrate the skin without any discomfort. Acupuncture needles are single-use, disposable and sterile.

Our clinic uses Japanese SEIRIN acupuncture needles, the highest quality needles available in the world. Unlike other manufacturers, these innovative needles have a round needle-tip which allows for a smooth, painless needle insertion that doesn’t damage tissues in the body. The product of state-of-the-art manufacturing technology with stringent processes and controls, SEIRIN needles are the smoothest, safest, and most advanced acupuncture needle available in the world.

When receiving acupuncture, patients can often experience many different sensations. Depending on the aim of the acupuncturist, that sensation may also differ. Some practitioners seek to create a dull, achy, and heavy sensation at the site of needle insertion. At our clinic, however, Dr. Komatsu seeks to provide the most comfortable experience for his patients. When needled by Dr. Komatsu, patients hardly experience any needle sensation. Instead, they often report feeling a lightness and deep relaxation spreading throughout the body. 

We invite you to visit Japanese Healing and to experience this painless and immediate-acting acupuncture for yourself!

Yes! Acupuncturists use sterile, single-use disposable needles. They are used once and then disposed of in biohazard containers.

What makes acupuncture so safe is its natural approach to healing. It is gentler than western medicine because its principle revolves around the concept of guiding the body to heal itself.

As a result, patients tend to experience very little side-effects comparatively. Patients may feel tired and sleepy after treatments. This is most commonly due to the healing change induced in the body, and after a good night’s rest you will feel good to go! If anything, patients often experience ‘after-effects’ such as improved sleep, reduced stress, and better energy!

Once in a while, slight bruising may occur after the needle is removed. This is not harmful or painful, and will clear within a few days.

In order to ensure that your acupuncture treatments are safe, comfortable, and effective we ask that you heed the following advice before and after your treatment:

• Please refrain from drinking alcohol on the day of your treatment.
• Have a light meal or snack before your treatment.
• Avoid vigorous exercise before and after your treatment.
• Stay hydrated.

Acupuncture treatments generally last 50-60 minutes. Please wear loose fitting and comfortable clothing, as this makes the evaluation and treatments easier.

The beauty of acupuncture is its emphasis on treating the individual as a whole.  Acupuncture doesn’t just treat the disease, but also the underlying unique pattern that develops in each person. For example, there may be six people being treated for lower back pain, but each patient would be receiving a different treatment based on their constitution and other life factors. This makes for a unique and customized treatment for any type of condition and individual. 

As a Certified Athlete Trainer and Acupuncturist, Dr. Komatsu has been treating professional and recreational athletes for more than 30 years. A sports medicine professional, he specializes in treating acute and chronic sports injuries, as well as assisting with sports performance.

On top of helping you achieve the best physical health, Dr. Komatsu also places great importance on maintaining good mental-emotional health. As a specialist in mental/psychological health, Dr. Komatsu provides relaxing and effective treatments to help patients with conditions such as: mania-depression, panic-attacks, anxiety, mood disorders, hysteria, insomnia, and much more.

Dr. Komatsu does his best to keep his patients feeling at their best by taking care of both your physical and mental health!
