Our work at PCA is centered on creating access to affordable acupuncture and through treatments and through our work training Auricular Acu-Techs (AAT).
The drop-In 5NP ear-acupuncture clinic is held on Thursdays 5:00 – 7:00 PM (through the end of March.)
The treatment cost is 1$-10$ sliding scale. NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED. This treatment is increasing exponentially. Schedule an appointment online.
As licensed acupuncturists, we do not provide primary care or diagnose medical conditions. However, we can work with you to offer complimentary care for conditions that require a physician’s attention. If you have a serious medical condition, for example, an infection, growth, or injury that won’t heal, we want you to see a primary care doctor first (MD, DO, ND.)
Acupuncture is a process. Every now and then, acupuncture will act like a “miracle cure”, and a person will have all of their symptoms disappear after only one treatment, but that is rare. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s own self-healing mechanisms; it is gentle and safe and usually gradual. Almost everybody who gets acupuncture will need a series of treatments to get good results, which is one big reason we came up with our sliding scale. If you don’t come in often enough or long enough, acupuncture probably won’t work well for you. Your acupuncturist will suggest a treatment plan to you, meaning, how many treatments we think you will need to get good results. Please let us know if you have any questions about your treatment plan, and please stick with it to the best of your ability.
