Yintang Acupuncture practices the art of Japanese Acupuncture. The Japanese were introduced to Classical Chinese medicine in the 6th century and during this time the Japanese practitioners developed a unique style based on Classical Chinese medical theories. One of several distinctions in Japanese acupuncture is the insertion of the needle so as not to cause pain or discomfort to the patient - yet the results are just as impressive as traditional acupuncture.

Your appointment starts with a 15min consultation with licensed acupuncturist Paul Rathe to discuss concerns, possible causes of discomfort, and goals. Then Paul inserts fine, sterile needles into spots on your body known as meridian points, which act as portals to your body's energy. The pain-free process unblocks the flow of energy so it can move freely throughout your body, improving your overall health.

Yelp gives Yintang a Four Star Rating with many satisfied clients:

• "I recently started acupuncture to help with my back issues and Paul has been a revelation. He's smart enough to ask the right questions and then come up with a game plan on how to help take away my lower back pain."

• "I made an appointment with Paul Rathe. He was a delight. It was my first time, so I didn't quite know what to expect. He explained much about the process, the next steps, how I'd be feeling, gave great advice, and was just great."

• "The good thing about Yintang is that they focus on Japanese acupuncture, which is less painful than the traditional method. It has helped me no end and I also feel that I am more energized after I leave."
