Acupuncture is used by nearly one-third of the planet's people because it is effective: acupuncture treats the root cause of imbalance and illness as well as the symptoms. Illness, dis-ease and discomfort of the body, mind and spirit, are caused by blockages of some sort. Acupuncture works to release blockages and redirect your body's own life force (Qi) to stimulate your body's innate ability to self-regulate and heal.
Studies have shown, and our experience confirms, that acupuncture is most effective when received on a regular basis over a short period of time for acute issues, and less often but over a longer period of time for chronic issues in order to experience the results you seek.
At our community acupuncture clinic, you will receive individualized care with complete respect for the privacy of your personal history. Each person comes at an appointed time, consults privately with their practitioner, and then receives treatment. Being in a shared space where others are also present with the intention of healing, can actually enhance your healing process. Treatment tables, Japanese screens, beautiful plants and soft music set the tone for a powerful, collective therapeutic experience.
Everyone uses our sliding scale cost structure of $20-$50 per treatment. You pay what you can, no questions asked. We trust you to support your community clinic to the best of your ability, so that we can be here to help you now and in the future. There is a one-time paperwork fee of $15 with your first visit.
