The Community Acupuncture Experience at GPCA:
The treatment room has enough space to accommodate up to 7 people. There is no mandatory amount of time to sit with the needles. On average patients tend to stay 20-60min. If there is space available you are welcome to stay longer if needed. We check the room every 10-15min. Please give us eye contact and a light nod if you need anything and when you’re ready to go. It’s best to come in dressing comfortably with loose clothing. When you sit down please remove your shoes and socks. Roll up your pants to your knees and your sleeves to your elbows. We will be working with feet, legs, hands, arms, and sometimes scalp and ears. We can target most issues with this distal style of treatment. The needles are hair thin and usually painless. You may feel a dull ache, rush of energy, or tingling with the insertion of the needle. If any of the needles feel uncomfortable please let us know so it can be removed or adjusted. You may find that the needles can make you tired and you may even fall asleep during your treatment. Please drink plenty of water and avoid drinking alcohol after your treatment. We do not take insurance, but we keep the sliding scale low so you are able to come in as much as is needed. For many cases, it may take several treatments to achieve your health goals. We will discuss a plan that is unique to you and we will check in and adjust along the way if needed.
