HAL’s Acupuncture & Massage

Acupuncturist

Yuichi Shirai

Welcome everyone, I’m Yuichi and I am a licensed Acupuncturist! I am board certified just like your doctors back home. I had to study 3 years to learn this medicine.

We have created an acupuncture salon in Toyota City. We are working on it with a physician partner.
I am your licensed acupuncturist here on board. Have you ever experienced the benefits of acupuncture before?No?

Well since you have never experienced acupuncture I’m just going to tell you a little bit about this amazing medicine. First off, it is clinically proven to approach 100 conditions including all kinds of pain conditions, digestive concerns, weight loss, addictions, stress and gynecological problem!

Are you nervous to try acupuncture because you are scared of needles? Don’t worry, its painless. It feels like a gentle tap on the skin and most people fall asleep during the treatment.

Doctor’s Comments

Dr.Kenji Hananouchi
Hiroshima University
Professor, Specialist in Orthopaedic Surgery

From an orthopedic surgeon’s point of view, I think the “acupuncture clinic created by a doctor” is very innovative and effective!

It is a great advantage for the clinic to be teaming up with a treatment center that can properly deal with pain!

After actually undergoing the treatment

I cannot sit for long periods of time because my back starts to hurt when I sit for long periods of time. So I often work standing up.

But today, I was fine even after watching a 3-hour movie (the new MI movie), so I thought, “This must be acupuncture working!

(MI = Mission Impossible)

Please try to experience acupuncture. You will surely get good results!

After actually undergoing the treatment

The treatment was almost painless and I was surprised that my stomach and intestines felt very good the next morning. As a doctor, I was neutral about acupuncture and moxibustion, but I felt that there is a reason (effect) for something that lasts for a long time.

If you are hesitant to try acupuncture and moxibustion, I think it would be a good idea to give it a try.

I am sure you will get good results!

After the acupuncture was over, the areas that were not feeling well felt so much better and I am so glad I took it.

After actually undergoing the treatment

I received acupuncture for my ailing shoulders and feet, ear acupuncture, facial acupuncture, and massage. I was afraid to have acupuncture treatment because I had not had acupuncture in several decades, but Dr. Shirai’s personality and precise explanations made me feel at ease.

After the acupuncture was over, I felt much better in the areas that were not feeling well, and I am very glad that I had the treatment. The acupuncture not only gave me a lifting effect, but also gave me a wonderful feeling of refreshment. Thank you very much!

I try to provide a gentle and comfortable treatment

I decided to become an acupuncturist after witnessing how acupuncture brought back my grandfather’s smile during my childhood. Later, when I injured my shoulder and knee playing tennis, my acupuncturist helped me recover and return to my activities.

Throughout my life, I’ve faced various challenges, including sports injuries, constipation, asthma, insomnia, and depression. Each time, acupuncture and moxibustion have helped me recover, shaping my belief in their effectiveness and guiding my practice today.

Having experienced their benefits firsthand, I truly believe acupuncture and moxibustion are remarkable medical treatments. However, they remain underutilized, both in Japan and internationally, due to limited awareness and exposure.

Afraid of getting acupuncture

It didn’t work as well as I thought it would

I don’t like acupuncture, it hurts

With over 10 years of clinical experience, my aim is to deliver treatments that are both gentle and effective. By combining insights from Western and Oriental medicine, I use a minimal number of fine, hypoallergenic needles to provide safe and highly effective acupuncture treatments that I confidently recommend to a wide range of clients.

As a licensed massage therapist, I also offer massage services that can complement your acupuncture treatment. Alternatively, you can opt for a standalone all-hand massage or a soothing oil massage.

Our goal is to provide relaxation for both your mind and body. We warmly invite you to visit us and experience the care tailored just for you!
