Community Acupuncture Walk-through

Receiving acupuncture in a group setting is like taking a yoga class. There is no verbal interaction between clients and people just do their own thing. Although some people come in groups, most come in on their own.

Treatments are received in a open space on side by side tables.

Your clothing stays on because we only needle points on the upper and lower limbs, head, chest and abdomen. These are called xuewei, which are very effective at treating many kinds of pain, ailments and illnesses.

First visit

On your first visit, an acupuncturist will do a treatment assessment that involves discussing your health history and any information you have about your health issues. We will also answer any questions and help you get orientated.

Subsequent visits

Payment and scheduling occur before treatments. This system allows us to run the centre more efficiently.

On each visit your practitioner will do a 10-minute intake with you. Be prepared to discuss:

How the last treatment was for you

Update them on how you're currently feeling

Any new and relevant information regarding your health issues
