The Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute’s Phyllis Sandler Center for Living Well is pleased to introduce community acupuncture to its growing list of services.

Acupuncture is used to balance and harmonize the mind and body. It is often used for the treatment of pain issues, emotional balancing, treating internal ailments and even boosting the immune system. Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to naturally treat many health concerns for people at any age.

Community acupuncture, also known as group acupuncture, is often used as a way to introduce new patients to acupuncture or as a more affordable treatment option for patients unable to afford private sessions. Many of those who practice and participate feel strongly that an additional benefit of community/group acupuncture is the healing energy generated in the room during a group session.

At the Women’s Institute, we prefer that you schedule your appointment but walk-ins are welcome during our scheduled sessions. When you arrive, you will be greeted by a member of our team, provided with forms to complete, including the consent for treatment, and then invite you to come into a comfortable room in our Phyllis Sandler Center for Living Well. Your acupuncturist will ask you to share your concerns as to what you’re trying to achieve and then he/she will place the needles as you close your eyes and relax for about 20 minutes in a room with soothing music, dimmed lights and others who are there for similar treatments.

GROUP ACUPUNCTURE SESSION

Tuesdays (10:00am - 4:30pm): 8/21, 9/11, 9/25

Thursdays (11:00am - 3:30pm): 8/16, 9/20
