Parkinson’s disease may cause various physical changes, including tremors, muscle stiffness, slowed movements, and decreased walking balance.
As movement becomes more difficult, reduced activity levels may lead to decreased muscle strength, changes in posture, and balance difficulties, which can affect daily activities that were previously performed with ease.
At Medical Japan, our licensed healthcare professionals carefully assess each individual’s physical condition and provide comprehensive physical care by combining acupuncture treatment for body regulation with rehabilitation support for movement and function.
The most important aspect is not only focusing on symptoms, but also supporting each person’s lifestyle and goals by helping them maintain their current abilities and build a body that allows them to continue daily activities with confidence.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that affects movement and postural control, often associated with a decrease in dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in brain function.
Symptoms vary from person to person. In addition to movement-related symptoms, changes involving sleep, the autonomic nervous system, bowel function, and fatigue may also occur.
Common physical changes include:
Parkinson’s disease can affect not only movement, but also body control and daily activities.
Difficulty taking the first step, shorter steps, and uncertainty when changing direction may occur.
Forward-leaning posture and difficulty maintaining balance may occur.
Increased muscle tension may cause stiffness or difficulty moving around the neck, shoulders, back, and hip areas.
Activities such as standing up, changing clothes, and going out may become more challenging.
In Parkinson’s disease, reduced movement caused by physical difficulties may lead to decreased muscle strength and reduced balance ability.
Therefore, combining approaches that regulate the body’s condition with rehabilitation that supports movement and function is important.
Acupuncture Treatment to Support the Body

Rehabilitation to Maintain and Improve Movement
Through these two approaches, we support each person’s physical function and help maintain the movements that are important in daily life.
Acupuncture treatment does not cure Parkinson’s disease itself.
However, it may be used as a supportive approach to address physical symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, such as muscle stiffness, increased muscle tension, and difficulty moving, according to each individual’s condition.
At Medical Japan, we do not focus only on symptoms. We evaluate muscle condition, posture, body balance, and movement patterns before providing acupuncture treatment tailored to each individual.
In Parkinson’s disease, reduced opportunities for movement may contribute to decreased muscle strength and balance ability.
Therefore, rehabilitation focuses on maintaining current abilities and helping individuals move safely by evaluating their physical condition and movement patterns.
Rehabilitation is not only about strengthening muscles. It is important to consider each person’s lifestyle and goals, and identify which movements are important to maintain.
For example:
We provide individualized support based on each person’s goals to help maintain physical function and daily independence.
At Medical Japan, we use advanced evaluation systems to objectively assess physical conditions rather than relying only on the therapist’s experience or observation.
By analyzing walking patterns and posture characteristics, we can better determine appropriate treatment approaches and exercise programs for each individual.
We analyze walking characteristics by evaluating foot pressure, center of gravity movement, and left-right balance differences during walking.
Understanding walking patterns objectively helps us develop appropriate physical adjustments and exercise guidance.
We analyze posture characteristics by evaluating head position, shoulder height, pelvic balance, and body alignment.
By measuring physical conditions objectively, we provide more personalized physical support.
Because symptoms and physical conditions vary from person to person with Parkinson’s disease, a personalized approach is important.
At Medical Japan, we do not only focus on symptoms. We evaluate the entire body and provide individualized acupuncture and rehabilitation support based on each person’s condition.
