What is different about the Cross Currents Clinic?

We treat clients in a community setting

Cross Currents Clinic offers high quality acupuncture with affordable rates in a respectful community setting. The model of care that we use is different from most acupuncture clinics in the West; however, this is the way acupuncture has been practiced throughout China and Asia for centuries. In our practice, we use recliners and treatment tables spread around a large, quiet room where individual treatments occur with a number of other people receiving acupuncture nearby. Acupuncture does not require you to disrobe, but you are encouraged to wear loose fitting clothing or bring a change with you. There will be a room provided for you to change. Many of the most effective points are located on the limbs or in areas that can be accessed with the clothes on. Treating in a community setting has many benefits. It makes it convenient for friends and family to come for appointments together. Each member of the group contributes to the energy in the room, and this group energy helps facilitate everyone’s healing.

We have very reasonable fees

Ask any acupuncturist - the simple fact is that acupuncture works best when treatments happen frequently for a period of time. The purpose of our lower fees is to reduce the issue of money when considering treatment; we want clients to be able to come in frequently and on a regular basis to get better and stay that way. We are not providing a second rate version of what people are experiencing by paying a higher fee. We are simply using a model that allows us to make acupuncture treatments more accessible to a broader range of the population. The fee for the initial intake is $25, and there will also be progress exams done at regular intervals to determine where you are at with your care and what the frequency of your visits should be. Progress Exams will be $15.00 in addition to the treatment fee.
