Walk-In Wednesdays


Our walk in wednesday hours are gaining in popularity, which is fantastic! That said, there still seems to be some confusion about what we do on Wednesday and how it is different than our private sessions. On Wednesdays you do not need an appointment and the cost is$25.00 per session. Patients are seated in comfortable reclining chairs that are separated with enough space to ensure that the treatments continue to be serene and peaceful. These sessions differ from our private sessions in that the patients are treated on one side and remain clothed throughout the session. However, even though the treatments themselves are done in a communal setting, the consultations continue to be done in private before going to the treatment space. 

A common misconception is that the chair treatments are less effective than a private session.These sessions are not mini treatments. We use meridian and channel theory to diagnose and treat the problem. What this means is that we do not need to needle the spot that is hurting. For instance, a common treatment area for low back pain is on the ankle. Many acupuncturists practice this method alone and it is very effective.

If you have any questions about our Walk in Wednesday program please feel free to call the clinic at (978) 922-4111, or better yet pop in and experience one yourself!
