Sliding Scale
Sebastopol Community Acupuncture provides high quality acupuncture treatment at affordable rates in a supportive community setting.
We practice a Japanese style of acupuncture which mostly uses “distal” points in the hands, feet and head to treat problems anywhere in the body—meaning we will probably treat pain in your back by placing tiny needles in your hands.
Research in the United States (as well as thousands of years of tradition in Asia) has shown that acupuncture is most effective when it is done frequently and regularly—once a week is usually the minimum required to make progress on any kind of health problem. The purpose of our sliding scale is to separate the issues of money and treatment; we want you to come in often enough to really get better and stay better!
Below is our suggested guideline of how much to pay per visit based on your income. This is only a guideline and we understand that everyone’s circumstances are different. We will never ask you for proof of income. We ask that you pay an amount within the scale that you feel comfortable with and that will allow you to get acupuncture as frequently as you need to get better. You’re not locked into paying any amount—you can pay anywhere on the scale for any visit.
