Japanese Acupuncture & TCM
Japanese Acupuncture & TCM
Byron Barth, L.Ac., MSTOM has practiced Japanese-style acupuncture for over 20 years, working just beneath the surface to help the body heal itself — gently, and with fewer needles.
Japanese acupuncture shares the same underlying medical theory as the Chinese style, but differs in application and technique. We believe the body's most responsive Qi lies on, or just beneath, the skin's surface — so it's rarely necessary to needle deeply or produce a strong sensation.
In a typical treatment, Byron uses thinner needles, and fewer of them, to help the body activate its own healing response.
Muscle aches, stress, and general tension often respond within a couple of treatments.
Long-standing conditions are treated weekly or bi-weekly to build lasting results over time.
Once your primary concern is under control, a monthly visit keeps your body in balance — just like any part of a well-tended life.
Byron shares acupuncture sessions and self-care acupressure techniques on his YouTube channel — a resource for patients between visits, and anyone curious about the practice.

"Byron Barth at Peace of Zen is a miracle worker! I've suffered from chronic lower back pain and sciatica for over 30 years... in a few months of care, I am feeling great."
"After the first treatment, my back pain had become manageable. 3 or 4 months down the road I was feeling like I was 18 again. No surgery needed."
"I no longer experience hot flashes. I am very thankful for your knowledge, competence, and care."
