Fertility, Women’s Health and Family Care, from infants to seniors

Welcome to Gentle Japanese Acupuncture in Upper West Side & Chelsea, in NYC!

At Gentle Japanese Acupuncture in New York City, led by Masayo Nishimura—a New York State-licensed acupuncturist and board-certified herbalist—we specialize in Japanese-style, painless acupuncture, CranioSacral Therapy, and Japanese massage therapy. Our focus is on women's and family health, addressing a wide range of concerns with gentle, effective treatments at any age, from pediatric (Shonishin) to geriatric patients.

Why choose Gentle Japanese Acupuncture?

Our principle is the Japanese style of Acupuncture, in which the needles are very thin and inserted superficially, and in some instances, they are not inserted at all (by using a non-insertive needle called ‘Teishin’ or ‘Shonishin’ (Pediatric Acupuncture)). This gentle needling technique is great for highly sensitive people as well as small children and seniors.

Gentle Japanese Acupuncture also incorporates multiple styles of acupuncture. This includes Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kiiko Matsumoto's style of Japanese Acupuncture, and Acupuncture Physical Medicine (APM) with trigger point release. We integrate Acupuncture with other modalities such as Japanese Shiatsu massage, Craniosacral Therapy, and Traditional herbal medicine. Each treatment is tailored to meet the unique needs of clients, helping them achieve holistic wellness and lasting relief.

We have a proven track record of success in treating conditions:

• Fertility issues (IVF, IUI support, Moxa therapy for Breech baby, Prenatal care)

• Menopause symptoms

• PMS & Period pain

• Headaches & Migraines

• Lower Back, Shoulders, and Knee pain

• TMJ discomfort (Jaw pain)

• Ear ringing (Tinnitus)

• Hair loss (Alopecia)

• Sinus infections

• Eye issues

• Indigestion

• Heart & Lung issues

• Stress & Anxiety

• Insomnia

• Autoimmune disorder & Hormonal imbalances

• Cosmetic facial care

We believe maintaining a balanced diet is crucial to well-being

We also offer Japanese-style nutritional guidance for all patients, particularly those undergoing fertility treatments. We believe that a warm, nourishing diet and a healthy lifestyle are crucial for conceiving, healing, and recovery from pain and discomfort.
