COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE
Flux Acupuncture Lounge is part of a growing movement of community clinics that strive to establish greater access to acupuncture by removing the barrier of high cost. Throughout its long history, acupuncture has traditionally been an accessible, affordable, community-based medicine. As it moved further into the mainstream of the United States, however, it has become prohibitively expensive for most patients.
Fortunately, acupuncture does not have to be expensive to be effective! Our clinic maintains affordable rates by treating multiple patients together in a serene and comfortable setting. Appointment times are staggered throughout the hour, enabling us to provide personalized care to each patient.
Acupuncture is most effective when it is received frequently and regularly! It has a cumulative effect in the body, and multiple treatments are typically needed to make progress on most types of health problems. Frequent treatment yields faster and greater therapeutic results, and the purpose of our sliding scale is to make consistent, successful treatment affordable. When cost is not a barrier, patients can receive the treatment they need to truly feel better.
OUR COMMUNITY ROOM
In community practice, patients are treated in comfortable recliner chairs along with other people in a relaxing, open space. Treatment protocols emphasize powerful acupuncture points below the elbows and knees, as well as on the head and ears, so you remain fully clothed during treatment. Loose fitting clothing is recommended so you can easily roll up shirt sleeves and pant legs. Patients are encouraged to relax with their needles as long as they feel necessary, and while this typically ranges between 30-60 minutes, you get to choose what’s right for you.
Treating patients in a group setting offers several benefits. First of all, many people discover that being in a room full of peacefully relaxing people is very comforting, especially when new to acupuncture. Additionally, family and friends can enjoy be treated together, offering support to one another and strengthening social bonds. Finally, the collective energy generated by several people resting and healing together can be a profound element to one’s personal experience.
When acupuncture is made accessible to everyone, it really can be part of the solution to our healthcare crisis. Please visit our community clinic today and become part of our healthcare revolution!
