Community Acupuncture

Community acupuncture is done in a group setting in order to improve accessibility and affordability. Recipients sit in reclining chairs in loose clothing (rolled up to the knees and elbows) and receive acupuncture only on the legs, arms, and head. For centuries these so-called ‘distal’ points (acu-points on the head, arms and legs) have been used to treat all the same ailments as points located on the torso. For instance, we can treat back pain with acupoints on the hands, or neck pain with acupoints on the feet. We believe (and have seen with our own eyes) that there is a group healing effect that happens when we receive treatment in this kind of setting.

How to choose your payment amount: Pay what you can within our sliding-scale of $30 - $65. We gratefully accept cash (exact amount only please, we are not able to make change) and personals checks when you can - this helps us save on credit card fees. If paying with a credit card, you’ll need to add your credit card info to your account when you create it. More than anything we want you to get the care you need, so pay what you can and how you can.

If you are having trouble meeting our sliding scale, talk to us at your next appointment and we will find a payment and treatment plan to meet your needs.
