A Message from Dr. Bear himself:
My acupuncture technique
“The difference in my acupuncture technique from others is that I use non-insertion technique. I do not insert needles at all, and I only contact my needles during my treatment.
It's sololy contacting needles, yet it is a superb technique. This is not only pain-free for patients, but also produce better results than inserting needles.
I started to treat patients back in 1977, and I have 38 years of clinical experience. It was around 1985 when I discovered the contact needling technique. I became assured very quickly that the contact needling technique was superb as I studied it with my colleagues.
Since then, I have done countless studies and practiced for 30 years, and taught seminars in U.S., and I have come to believe deeply that the contact needling is very outstanding technique.
It will be the first time meeting you all, so I am planning the curriculum to mainly show and teach you how it is done with contact needling technique.
I am sure you all would like to take home something from my seminar that you could actually apply in your clinic, so I would also like to introduce some acupuncture points for pain management, which we often face in our clinical practice.
I would like to introduce some Japanese Traditional Acupuncture and Moxabustion theory.
(Note: Japanese Traditional Acupuncture is not the same as Meridian Therapy.)
My name, 'Dr. Bear' may sound a bit strange. I have received this name from the American Indian because I have been practicing Japanese Traditional Acupuncture. Therefore, I decided to use the name 'Dr. Bear' when I come to US to teach, and everyone call me by this name.
My seminar is very lively. Everyone laugh a lot, and I love hearing people's laughs. I may disappoint people who prefer a quiet seminar. I always end up having a fun seminar, and I am planning the same for the seminar in Santa Fe, also.
This would be the third time for me to visit Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Last time I was in town, I had wished to come back again to teach in such a beautiful town, so I am happy that it came true.
I look forward meeting you all.”
