what is community acupuncture?
Community acupuncture simply means treatments are done in a quiet common area, as opposed to private rooms. The group setting allows personalized care to multiple patients per hour. This style of treatment makes it possible to keep fees low and make acupuncture available to a greater number of people. Many enjoy the community setting, as it enables them to come with a friend or family member. This setting, can have a powerful and positive impact on the results of the treatment.

what to expect? what to wear?
Wear comfortable clothing, that can be rolled up to the elbows and knees. Blankets are provided and music will be playing. You are welcome to bring any additional props that may enhance your comfort, such as ipod and headphones, or eye mask. You will have a short conversation with Melissa, who will look at your tongue, feel your pulse, and proceed with treatment. Appointments are 10 minutes in length, needles are inserted, then you sit back and relax until your needles are removed. Having acupuncture could be described as a period of deep stillness in which nothing seems to be happening, but all sorts of things get done.
avoid:
• strong perfumes or aftershaves
• being hungry or full before your treatment.
• Caffeine and other stimulants before your treatment
be mindful of the community environment; please limit conversation and talk quietly.
after your visit:
You are likely to feel more relaxed. You may feel sleepy, or you may have more energy than when you came in. Either way, it is best not to stimulate the body (e.g. with caffeine, alcohol, or vigorous activity) after acupuncture.
