Stillpoint Acupuncture & Craniosacral Therapy – Victoria BC

I am seriously considering adding a Community Acupuncture clinic to the services I provide as an acupuncturist. Since I graduated from college, the cost of acupuncture has always been a sticking point for me. How can I make acupuncture available to the widest demographic, but still make a livable wage?

The Community Acupuncture model seeks to make acupuncture more affordable, as well as more effective, while providing a livable wage to the practitioner. This survey is designed to get your thoughts on this style of acupuncture. Thank you for taking the time to complete it.

Your visit to a Community Acupuncture clinic might look like:

You come into the clinic, pay for your treatment on a sliding scale ($15-$45), which is based on what you decide you can afford, and book your next treatment. You then consult with the acupuncturist in a private setting before entering a larger room, which contains a number (4-8) of easy chair recliners. The room is dimly lit, and there may be others in the room, relaxing on the chairs. There is quiet music playing. There may be privacy dividers between the chairs.
You settle yourself in an easy chair, and roll up your sleeves and/or pant legs up the knees. There is a blanket beside the chair to place on you, if you need it. The acupuncturist comes in and proceeds with the treatment, and then leaves you to relax. Other people may be entering and leaving the room quietly during your treatment. When you are ready to go, or at a pre-designated time, you signal the acupuncturist, who then removes the needles.
Having already paid for your treatment, and booked your next visit, you are free to leave the clinic.
