F.A.Q.

How much is a treatment?
All treatments are on a sliding-scale from $50-100. Community acupuncture will return on June 12th, 2023 and the cost will be sliding-scale from $20-55. There is no initial fee.

Do I only need one treatment?
No. Acupuncture is not a ‘magic bullet.’ The rule of thumb is the more treatments you receive, the faster results you will feel. We recommend you come in at least twice the first week.

Are you licensed?
Yes, I am a licensed acupuncturist in the State/Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Do you reuse your needles?
Absolutely not. All needles I are single-use only.

Does it hurt?
This is a rather subjective question but to best describe the most tender points (palms, feet soles, etc.), it is somewhere between a mosquito bite and bee sting.

Do you take insurance?
No. The service is typically more affordable than most co-pays. We DO take most employer’s HSA and FSA programs.

What should I wear?
Generally it is best to wear loose clothing. “Skinny jeans” are common and acceptable but may limit access to some points.

Do you only treat chronic pain?
Acupuncture is not limited to chronic pain. I also help patients with stress and anxiety as well as with reproductive health. We DO NOT treat emergencies. PLEASE DIAL 911 if you think you are having a medical emergency.

How long are treatments?
Anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. I let the patients choose how long they want.

Do you accept walk-ins?
No.

What forms of payment do you accept?
Mostly cash except for HSA and FSA.

Are firearms allowed in the clinic?

No.

Can you cancel patients?

Yes. In rare cases, patients find it to be acceptable to verbally harass and even physically assault their neighborhood acupuncturists. This is unacceptable. Further, if you are engaging in racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, abelist behavior, or just simply displaying behavior that threatens the safety of the acupuncturist or patients, we will refuse to treat and ask you to leave until you can behave well with others.

 Can I pick the music?
This is actually a common question. I am generally the DJ but a few patients have known to bring their own headphones to listen to whatever music people listen to these days.
