| Community Acupuncture Clinic |
Community acupuncture clinics were started in the USA to mimic the way treatments in Asia have long been delivered, in a group setting. This practice can to reduce costs and make acupuncture more affordable. If you have been to an acupuncturist before, you probably had private sessions where you couldn't get an appointment for a few days or weeks and couldn't come as often as you'd like due to the price. Or you have a simple problem like knee pain that really doesn't require you to get undressed.
In our clinic, you will be treated in a large room with 4 recliners. You will be treated with a standardized point prescription, with needles inserted at distal points in the arms, legs, head, and neck. Please respect other clients' privacy.
Group acupuncture is effective for a wide variety of ailments including neck and back pain, headaches, sinus problems, joint pain, insomnia, stress, digestive ailments, cold and flu, and smoking cessation. This is an acupuncture 'first aid' clinic. Please don't expect treatment for all your ailments in this setting.
For chronic problems, 2-3 sessions a week for a few weeks may be needed. For acute problems, you may only need one or two visits. Please wear loose clothing that is easily accessible (no stockings; loose pants or shorts are ideal). You may have a short wait while we finish up with other clients.
We suggest you schedule a standard private acupuncture consultation and treatment:
If you have a more complex condition or multiple medical problems
If you need consultation to discuss your diet, medical history, and supplements
To learn acupressure self treatment and exercises for your condition
If you want herbal formula recommendations for your complaint
If you prefer to be in a private room
