Kotan Classical Acupuncture

Holistic Approach

Practical Acupuncture

Japanese Acupuncture in Lygon Street Brunswick East

At Kotan Acupuncture, I am committed to incorporating time-honored classical Japanese techniques to not only alleviate pain but also facilitate the process of healing. Through this practice, I prioritize viewing each individual holistically, placing a strong emphasis on customized treatment rather than simply treating surface symptoms.

Patients experience pleasant sensations whilst enjoying pain relief through moxibustion treatments.
