FAQ

Community acupuncture sessions are held in a large room with tables and reclining chairs placed in a comfortable and respectful distance. Patients are scheduled 15 minutes apart in order to have a individual consultation with the acupuncturist, then needles are inserted for around 30 mins. A treatment is 45 minutes in total.

The treatments are primarily on the front of the body and mainly on distal points (legs, arms, hands, feet, ears), so it is better to wear loose and comfortable outfits. We won’t expose part of the body that can make you uncomfortable.

Our mission is to provide high quality and affordable acupuncture treatments. In order to do so, we operate on a sliding scale that allows people to have treatments in a shorter amount of time and receive them more frequently. The idea is to make acupuncture as accessible as possible to the most vulnerable members of our community.
