COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE
Chinese medicine takes into account the unique complexity of each individual's body, mind and spirit. Instead of being a symptom-centered approach, acupuncture is a patient-centered system where each person is seen as a complete system within other systems. When dealing with illness, Chinese modalities will not only address the physical symptoms, but also consider other aspects of the patient's life, such as age, diet, lifestyle, family and work environments.
Traditional Chinese Medicine regards the body as an organic whole, existing in harmony with others and the universe, where every part of you and everyone else is interconnected. From this perspective, your health problems occur within the context of your life and culture, and are not separated from your experiences and other attributes that make you who you are. With this philosophy, it is easy to see how Chinese medicine also emphasizes community wellness and illness prevention. In this light, we are excited to offer
our Downtown Community Acupuncture Lounge. Similar to the model created by Portland's Working Class Acupuncture, we feel it is important to make acupuncture affordable, creating a space for people to come in as much as needed for optimal healing.
Our Downtown Community Acupuncture Lounge offers individualized acupuncture treatment in a small group setting of 2-4 people. Never tried acupuncture before? The community lounge is an easy way to see how acupuncture (and other Chinese modalities) can help you. Quick and convenient, you can just pop into our office during lunch or after work.
FEES
Another nurturing aspect of Community Acupuncture is that we make it affordable. The fee is based on a sliding scale, from $20-$40, plus a $10 initial paperwork-processing charge for your first visit only. You decide what you can afford, and we'll be delighted to place you on a comfortable zero-gravity chair or couch and take extra-good care of you.
