Community acupuncture originates from the way acupuncture is authentically practiced in China. Patients receive acupuncture in groups and receive treatments until their health conditions are fully resolved or greatly improved. Because we have studied extensively in a special distal type of acupuncture style, we can very effectively treat you without requiring you to undress – most points are from the elbows to the fingers, knees to toes, and head and scalp. Acupuncture is a therapy and requires a commitment to a course of treatment in order to obtain the best possible results. Therefore, we expect that our model based on Chinese tradition is one you will find both beneficial and enjoyable.
We believe you will feel more comfortable and less isolated during your treatment than you would while being treated alone in a private room. One of the best parts of our clinic, we think, is that we allow you to determine your treatment time. Most people relax with their needles for 30-60 minutes, but you may stay as long as you like as long as we have room for you. We check in on you periodically, leaving you alone if you are relaxed or sleeping, and checking to see if you are ready to have your needles removed when you are looking at us. Having a community room also allows us to practice acupuncture with a more streamlined approach, allowing us to offer more acupuncture to more people. You can afford to come at the frequency that works best for you, and our clinic is capable of touching more of our community in a positive way.
