Videos about community acupuncture
There are lots of other Community Acupuncture clinics in the country! Try googling a city or state name and "community acupuncture."
Acupuncture is the science and art of stimulating the body's natural ability to heal. It focuses on the whole person, not just the symptom or the disease. Over thousands of years, acupuncture has evolved to effectively treat most modern ailments, including many where Western medicine may have limited solutions.
In order for a muscle, joint or organ to function well, there must be adequate blood flow to that area. Most if not all of the imbalances that occur in the body can be traced back to a lack of sufficient blood supply to the affected location. To help the body recover from injury, overuse or misuse, acupuncture can increase blood flow to a specific region of the body in a targeted way. Many descriptions of acupuncture talk about "energy" or "qi" and how it flows through the body. This is simply an ancient Chinese way of describing the flow of blood and its nutritional components.
Systemic conditions (for example sleep problems, mental/emotional/spiritual issues, or addictions) are addressed by regulating the blood flow through the entire body, as opposed to a specific body part.
Through the use of needles and other gentle techniques, our blood flow is corrected. This is felt as an alleviation of symptoms and an overall sense of health, happiness, and well-being.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing if possible. Ideally, there should be easy access to your legs up past the knee, arms past the elbows, and abdomen. Feel free to bring such clothes to change into before your treatment.
How soon can I expect results?
While response to treatment varies, most people feel a shift by the third treatment and an obvious improvement by the fifth.
Perfectly. The sterile needles are used once and then disposed of immediately. Also, since treatment is tailored to the individual, side-effects are virtually unheard-of.
The hair-thin needles that I use are much smaller than what we usually think of as “needles” (5 of them can fit inside the hole at the end of a dentist’s needle) and are not painful. I also do private treatments without needles for those who prefer.
What can it help? Click here for a list.
Anyone! Students, teachers, yogis and yoginis, construction workers, servers, cashiers, programmers, and anyone who sits or stands all day. Treatment is tailored to age and condition. Young children and sensitive patients can be treated without needles during a private session.
How much does it cost?
$15 - $40 sliding scale, pay what you choose. There is an additional $10 consultation and paperwork fee added to the first visit. Click here for more details.
What about privacy during DCAC treatments?
If you are nervous about the group treatment setting, just visit us and check it out. Patients who had initially resisted the idea often forget they had any concerns about group treatment by their second and third sessions. If after the third session, you're still uncomfortable, that session will be free — as a "thank you for trying it out."
For an appointment please use our online booking option.
