About this user
Whereas most acupuncturists in the US treat people in individual cubicles, Community Acupuncture takes place in a healing group setting. Patients sit together in comfortable recliners and benefit from the healing energy from one another. This approach is similar to how acupuncture is practiced in China. The community setting allows for more time for treatment, instead of the needles being retained for at most half an hour. Our patients decide for themselves when they feel 'done;' in fact, many people fall asleep and wake feeling refreshed.
One of the largest benefits of a community setting is that it is possible for friends and family members to receive treatment together and many find it comforting as the collective energetic field (group chi) nurtures the entire group.
We practice a blend of acupuncture styles, mostly relying upon 'distal' points in the hands, feet and head to treat problems in other parts of the body. This means that you will not need to disrobe. For points located on the back or on the torso, we advise our patients to wear loose fitting clothing so we can easily gain access to those parts of the body.
