Community Acupuncture
The concept of treatment in a communal setting is not new. In fact, this approach to care has existed for centuries. Community acupuncture is rooted in this tradition, striving to deliver effective and affordable acupuncture services to a diverse range of individuals. Unlike conventional clinics with private rooms, our acupuncture sessions take place in a shared space. We provide all necessary supplies, including massage tables and reclining chairs. Our treatments primarily target the arms, legs, face, ears, and head, which allows us to treat various bodily concerns. To schedule or inquire about hosting a pop-up clinic at your facility, don't hesitate to get in touch with us contact simplystrongmedicine@gmail.com, or call/text 619-790-6010
Benefits of Community Style Acupuncture
Affordability & Accessibility
With lower costs and frequent sessions, community acupuncture makes it easier for people to receive regular treatment, which can be crucial for managing chronic conditions.
Social Support
Receiving treatment in a shared space with others can create a sense of community and collective healing, which some people find comforting and supportive.
Efficiency
Because multiple people are treated simultaneously, community acupuncture clinics often have more flexible scheduling and can accommodate more patients in a shorter time frame.
What can I expect during treatment
Before your treatment, you will complete a brief health intake and sign a consent to treatment form. This allows us to tailor our approach to your specific concerns and goals, ensuring a personalized and effective experience. Once you're settled in for your session of community acupuncture, you'll find yourself comfortably reclined in our cozy chairs, fully clothed. Our approach focuses on distal points, strategically located on the arms, hands, legs, and feet, which can effectively address a wide range of health issues. This means you can relax and enjoy the benefits of acupuncture without the need to disrobe. To enhance the effectiveness of your treatment, we recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to these key acupuncture points. This ensures a seamless and uninterrupted session, allowing the therapeutic effects of acupuncture to flow freely throughout your body. Sessions typically last between 40-50 minutes, providing ample time for you to unwind and experience the profound benefits of acupuncture.
