Affordable Acupuncture -- About

Community Acupuncture

Our treatments are provided in a relaxed traditional-style group setting with up to four patients comfortably being treated simultaneously in the same room.

We also utilize sliding scale rates that are based on the income of each individual. This helps us let acupuncture be available to all patients, especially those who might otherwise not be able to afford treatments.

Research has shown that acupuncture is most effective when done frequently and regularly. One or more treatments per week are often recommended to start making progress in any kind of health issue. That's why we adjust our prices to meet your budget. We want you to come in often enough to get better and stay well!

If you need to discuss personal issues with your practitoner, it can be done in a private room prior to treatment in the group room.

According to the ancient principles of Chinese medicine, life-force energy, called Qi, flows through the body in a system of channels. When a person gets sick or injured, the natural movement of Qi in these channels is inhibited or unbalanced. Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, and other therapies can be used to promote health by restoring the natural flow Qi within the body.

Acupuncture is very safe and usually painless. Patients may often describe feelings of tingling, heaviness, numbness, or radiation as the treatment begins to take effect.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine, often combined with Acupuncture, can be vastly helpful in resolving many kinds of disease. Our pharmacy is stocked with herbs in raw, granulated, and patent teapill forms. Your practitioner can select and prepare a formula suited specifically to fit your disease pattern and personal tastes.

At Your Appointment

Be sure to wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment, and it is best to come in when you are not too hungry or exhausted.

It is recommended that you recieve one or two acupuncture treatments per week for acute or serious conditions. Once progress with a treatment plan has been established, you may want to come in every other week or even once per month. Diseases may be cured in less than 5 sessions, but longer-term problems often require more treatment.
