Restore Your Health

Japanese Acupuncture in Flatiron, NYC

Through precision Japanese palpation and the Balance Method system, we provide structured, phase-based acupuncture care designed to first reduce pain & symptoms, then correct the underlying imbalance, and finally stabilize long-term function.

This is not one-off relief.

This is a corrective process.

Meet Masayuki Adachi, MSOM., L.Ac.

Founder & Clinical Director:

I specialize in treating chronic pain, neurological tension patterns, and internal disorders that have not fully responded to conventional care.

My treatment approach integrates:

• Dr. Tan’s Balance Method

• Japanese Meridian Palpation

• Myofascial mapping principles (Anatomy Trains)

• Herbal medicine and structural correction

Every session is designed with two objectives:

Relieve your current symptoms
Correct the deeper imbalance driving them

This dual focus allows the body to stabilize rather than relapse.
