Alan Jansson, Japanese Acupuncturist, Brisbane - life and work of a dedicated clinician

Alan Jansson has been in clinical practice using Japanese Acupuncture since graduating from the Acupuncture College of Australia in 1984 and completing post-graduate work in Japan. Alan has worked with many local and international sports people including Australian Indoor Cricket, Queensland Country Cricket, Queensland Indoor Cricket, Brisbane Lions Australian Football Club. He has a strong following in the sport of running and swimming. Alan has extensive experience in treating people suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, post-viral conditions and enjoys administering immune strengthening and energy enhancing treatment. He also works extensively with sufferers of acute and chronic pain. He is passionately involved in Japanese Acupuncture and has created the World Acupuncture Blog to help practitioners develop a practical and clinically based approach to the study and practice of traditional acupuncture.

Japanese Acupuncture - Background 

While acupuncture has its roots in China, Japan gave this medical practice its own twist, which was accepted immediately in the world of medicine. The general concept of Japanese acupuncture is using the least amount of stimulation to create the greatest effect in the patient. As opposed to traditional Chinese medicine, Japanese acupuncture uses thinner needles that are barely thicker than human hair. These needles are inserted in the body not deeper than 1 or 2 millimeters, if they are inserted at all. Less points and stimulation is basically the trick. Hence, the Japanese technique demands much greater care and precision than the Chinese technique, making it a challenge to the practitioner but an advantage to the patient because of the reduced pain. The Japanese style of acupuncture also requires more training than the traditional Chinese medicine.

Alan Jansson, Acupuncturist - a testimonial 

Four members of my family have been treated by Alan over the last few years.

He has treated members of my family for Glandular Fever, Shingles, Tonsillitis, Respiratory Tract Infection and sporting injuries from tennis, squash, Rugby, Aussie Rules and Rugby League (a sports-mad family),

His gentle Japanese Acupuncture approach has had a profound effect on the speed of our recovery from these injuries and illnesses.

His acupuncture approach strengthens the immune system and restores strength and health very quickly. We benefited immensely from his specialization in the use of acupuncture for treating Glandular Fever in teenagers. He also specializes in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in elite athletes.

We cannot speak highly enough of his professional approach, dedication to improving his practice and that of other clinicians, his engaging sense of humor and his groundedness through his love of surfing and nature.

Alan Jansson - Professional Trainer in Traditional Japanese Acupuncture

Alan has presented, convened and hosted in the vicinity of 30 Traditional Japanese Acupuncture workshops in Australia, New Zealand and USA. Driven by a strong desire to promote the consumer friendly nature, clinical efficacy and potency of Meridian Based Traditional Japanese Acupuncture, Alan is a staunch advocate of practically based workshops and draws upon his 25 years clinical experience and 14 years post and undergraduate teaching.

World Acupuncture Blog - Japanese Acupuncture Education 

This is Alan Jansson's blog where he shares the results of his daily clinical practice in Japanese Acupuncture.

Alan's explanation of the purpose of his blog shows that he has a global vision for traditional acupuncture:

This blog is my humble contribution towards a more practical and clinically biased approach to the study and practice of traditional acupuncture in an increasingly sanitized 21st century.

It has come about as a result of this practitioner's passionate desire to see some of the human-being-ness from which this incredibly diverse and clinically potent medical art sprang, preserved.

I am excited about the possibilities of the audio and visual medium as a practically relevant and clinically applicable educational tool...

I want to give those willing and interested an opportunity to refine and develop their practice of traditional acupuncture on a consistent basis and provide a platform through which we can communicate with colleagues globally.

Alan Jansson - surfer extraordinaire 

Alan lives in Rainbow Bay on the glorious Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.

While he practices clinical acupuncture in Brisbane, his clinical work is often preceded by an early morning surf designed to beat the crowds and make the most of the morning swell.

He describes going to the beach at daybreak and seeing surfers bathed in silver light as the sun rises and the moon sets.

One of his favorite stories is explaining how a dolphin dived between him and another surfer to make the most of the barrel. Dolphins are superb surfers and born show-offs.

Alan Jansson, the surfer, loves his surfing paradise with a passion matched only by his love of Japanese Acupuncture.
