Lynn Women's Institute

The Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute’s Phyllis Sandler

Center for Living Well is pleased to provide 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.

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. Many of those who participate feel strongly that an additional benefit of community/group acupuncture is the healing energy generated during a group session.

When you arrive for your scheduled appointment, you will be greeted by a member of our team, provided with forms to complete and escorted to a comfortable room in our Phyllis Sandler Center for Living Well. Your acupuncturist will review your concerns 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 and dimmed lights.
