Acupuncture at the 2 The Point Acupuncture Clinic in Hilo

Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most extensively studied forms of medicine in the world. Today, it is recognized by both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as an effective treatment for a wide range of health conditions — from chronic pain to emotional wellbeing, women's health, respiratory issues, and digestive disorders.

​

At 2 The Point Acupuncture in Hilo, we combine this time-tested medicine with a specialized approach that goes beyond symptom relief to address the root cause of imbalance in the body.

Our Approach:
Seitai Shinpo Acupuncture

2 The Point Acupuncture offers Seitai Shinpo, a distinctive Japanese acupuncture technique developed by Daiichi Sorimachi. Seitai Shinpo was among the first systems to recognize that the body's internal organs can be balanced through the alignment of the spine — combining precise needling of both the front and back of the body with moxibustion (the gentle application of warming herbal heat).

​

Unlike other styles of acupuncture that rely primarily on pulse or tongue diagnosis only, Seitai Shinpo places special emphasis on observing structural distortions in the body. This whole-body, structure-first perspective allows us to offer truly full-spectrum results, treating not just isolated symptoms but the underlying patterns that cause them.

The goals of every Seitai Shinpo treatment include:

  • Correcting structural distortions by treating the soft tissues, supporting the body's natural alignment

  • Strengthening the immune response through the use of moxibustion

  • Harmonizing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems — balancing the body's stress response with its ability to rest and recover

  • Relieving pain and numbness by stimulating the vertebral nerves and encouraging the release of natural pain-relieving and mood-supporting chemicals

  • Strengthening adrenal function and supporting cardiovascular health

  • Stimulating the lymphatic system

  • Balancing the body's organ systems

Treatment results vary from person to person, but this comprehensive approach is what allows Seitai Shinpo to support such a broad range of conditions.
