Is Acupuncture Effective for Intractable Diseases?
Awaken Your Body's Healing Power! Traditional Eastern Medicine
About Our Clinic
Our acupuncture and osteopathic clinic specializes in treating patients with intractable diseases that lack established treatments in Western medicine, as well as those who have suffered adverse effects from medication.
Our Patients
More than half of our patients travel from outside the prefecture or even from abroad. Many choose to stay at a hotel for about a week to receive treatment.
About Our Acupuncture Treatment
Patients with refractory diseases often experience abnormalities in body temperature regulation and muscle metabolism. We use thermography to assess the body's temperature distribution while performing acupuncture treatment. This method has proven effective for patients experiencing mobility loss due to degenerative changes in cranial and spinal nerves or microcirculation issues in the limbs. It has also been beneficial for those undergoing treatment with steroids or immunosuppressants. Acupuncture complements medical treatments by enhancing overall health in a natural way.

Acupuncturist for Intractable Disease Treatment
Moriue Acupuncture & Osteopathic Clinic Director Hiroaki Yoshiike
With a high number of consultations for intractable diseases, I have spent decades researching medical papers and exploring treatment approaches. For over 30 years, I have been dedicated to acupuncture treatment for diseases without established medical treatments. My approach is based on Western medicine principles, integrating fundamental acupuncture with an autonomic nervous system perspective to provide treatment for many patients daily.
