Twenty-five hundred years ago, the Yellow Emperor ruled ancient China. His reign is remembered as a time of balance and harmony. It was during this time that Chinese Medicine was first codified as a systematic science, and first made available to the common people.To us, the Yellow Emperor's name evokes not only the long history of Chinese Medicine, but also a recognition that all people deserve affordable access to this ancient wisdom.Acupuncture is a health system that has been used in China for over 2,500 years and is now used widely throughout the world. It involves the placement of hair-thin metal filaments at specific points just below the skin's surface to quiet the nervous system. This opens energetic pathways of circulation throughout the body which may be blocked due to illness or injury. The free flow of this circulation enhances the body's natural tendency and ability to heal itself.In China, acupuncture is prescribed many times per week for certain conditions. The no frills, large communal space keeps treatments affordable. This differs significantly from how acupuncture is usually practiced in the US. Here, many people can't afford acupuncture unless they have good insurance.The goal of the community acupuncture model is to make health care more affordable, accessible, and community-oriented. Instead of tables, we use recliners arranged in a common treatment room. We charge very affordable sliding scale rates designed to fit any budget.
