Frequently asked questions
What is group acupuncture?
Group acupuncture is a treatment setting in which patients receive an acupuncture treatment seated in reclining chairs. The treatment takes place in a shared room where two to three other patients may be receiving acupuncture at the same time.
Is disrobing required?
No! When receiving an acupuncture treatment in a group setting, patients will only remove their shoes and socks and will be asked to roll up their pantlegs and sleeves to just above their knees and elbows. For this reason it is helpful to wear loose fitting clothing. Patients may also choose to wear a sleeveless shirt to allow for access to the shoulders if they are experiencing shoulder issues.
What can be treated in group acupuncture?
Patients can utilize group acupuncture treatments for a very wide range of symptoms and conditions including feelings of anxiety, insomnia, digestive discomfort, fatigue and more. It can also be helpful for musculoskeletal issues such as pain due to arthritis or injury in the knee and lower leg, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands. It can also be helpful for neck pain. Because of the physical limitations of receiving an acupuncture treatment in a chair, disrobing to access areas of the body such as the lower back and hips is not possible and it may be more appropriate to receive an individual treatment in a private room if you are experiencing these symptoms.
Will others be able to overhear me speaking about the symptoms I would like to have treated?
While your practitioner will do their best to ask questions about your condition before you enter the treatment room, it is possible that others may overhear information about your case before receiving acupuncture and within the treatment room itself. If you do not want others to hear about your case, please try to tell your acupuncturist beforehand and we will try to accommodate by taking you to a private room for intake questions if it is available.
Are masks required?
Yes. At this time masks are required in all medical facilities. We also do our best to cycle which treatment chairs are being used to ensure that patients will be as far from others as is possible. During a typical acupuncture session there may be three patients receiving treatment at any one time, with a possible short overlap of a fourth as one patient leaves and another enters.
Can I come in for a treatment with a group of my friends/family/coworkers?
Yes! If you would like to set up a special group acupuncture session for 3 to 6 people outside of the weekly scheduled time, please contact us directly by phone or email to check our availability.
