I am liking where the US military is heading with this.
Great article, hope you enjoy!

In a fluorescent-lit exam room, Col. Rochelle Wasserman sticks ballpoint-size pins in the ears of Sgt. Rick Remalia.
Remalia broke his back, hip and pelvis during a rollover caused by a pair of rocket-propelled grenades in Afghanistan. He still walks with a cane and suffers from mild traumatic brain injury. Pain is an everyday occurrence, which is where the needles come in.
“I’ve had a lot of treatment, and this is the first treatment that I’ve had where I’ve been like, OK, wow, I’ve actually seen a really big difference,” he says.

Best way to learn Japanese Acupuncture depends on where you live, where you can go to learn and what level you would like to achieve.
In the United States.

In Australia.

It really depends on your existing qualifications and what you want to do.
The above colleges offer general acupuncture studies with Japanese Acupuncture options.
Of course you will find some good courses in Japan also.
Best online learning without doubt

Its amazing that the American Military are so into acupuncture while others are still hung up on “how does it work”
Perhaps this has to do with expediency.
The military are willing to do whatever it takes to get the most efficient treatment for their troops and don’t care if acupuncture doesn’t fit neatly into a scientific model.

Reckon it’s more to with budgetary constraints, certainly in these cases I believe acupuncture to be more expedient.
Thanks heaps for your comment Nick.
All the Best,
