If you require any of the following, our clinic may NOT be the right fit for you:
WCA does not treat you face down (nor is it necessary to do so).
We do all our
treatments using distal points: elbows and knees down, ears, and
scalp. We find this is a very effective way of treating many
conditions. Rolling up sleeves/pants to elbows and knees is
more fitting and comfortable for community acupuncture environment.
We Don’t Use Massage Tables
We perform all
acupuncture treatments in comfortable recliners.
We Do Not Provide Acupuncture Treatments on
the Floor With the use of the
right pillows and blankets, we find that we can get most people
comfortable in our chairs. Doing treatments on the floor is not an
option.
We Do Not Provide Private Consultation
For follow up
treatments, we talk for a short amount of time, in hushed voices, in
our open group treatment room.
We Don’t Provide Lifestyle Or Psychological
Counseling Our focus is to
provide all our clients with efficient high quality acupuncture. Our
interviews are short and used to gather the information we need to do
this. We aren’t able or equipped to provide extensive lifestyle or
psychological counseling.
Private Acupuncture – A Different Choice
In private settings,
the practitioner will typically spend a good deal of time on an
intake and assessment, and there will be more “talking time.” You
will be treated in a private room, usually on a massage table. You
may be treated on the front and back of your body, and there may be
additional therapies, like cupping, massage, and moxibustion,
incorporated into your treatment. Some patients may prefer the
privacy and longer personal attention. Please be aware that while we
will provide you a personalized treatment, we are practiced in doing
it very quickly. We will not be able to give you more “talking
time” than the other patients in the clinic. If you prefer a
private treatment, there are many acupuncture clinics in the area! We
can recommend a few of our friends:
