COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE

Community Acupuncture

In 2009, Dr. Tyler Phan opened the first community acupuncture clinic in Pittsburgh called “Pittsburgh Community Acupuncture.” The idea was simple, open room acupuncture that accessible for all, at the cost of most co-pays. It’s time to bring that back.

Community acupuncture is an open room acupuncture whereby none of the patients have to disrobe and the same relief as conventional acupuncture.[1][2] [3] This element of patient comfort is added with accessible costs $35-100. Together, these factors provide an accessible way to treat chronic pain and stress.

Source Pittsburgh is here to provide the level of care suitable for Pittsburgh’s working-class, without sacrificing quality. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Tyler Phan provides patients a level of care that’s rooted from generations of healing.
