What is Community Acupuncture?
Unlike the typical one-on-one setting, community acupuncture focuses more on receiving collective treatment in a common space. AcuMantras decided to follow the community acupuncture model to inhibit cost from being a limiting factor, therefore, making acupuncture more accessible to all. This is just one of the many ways we give back to the community.
The effects of acupuncture are cumulative, and frequent and regular treatments can reset your system, allowing your body to achieve and maintain wellness.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a healing art that originated in ancient China. It is a derivative of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Documents describing the practice date back to the first century BCE, while some believe archaeological evidence points to a much earlier origin: possibly as early as 8,000 years ago. More people have been treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine than any other medicinal practice in the history of the world. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles throughout your skin at strategic points on your body. According to research, a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain (Mayo Clinic, 2016).
The medical theory of acupuncture centers on the concept of energy Qi (pronounced “chee”). Qi flows through the body's pathways, known as meridians. Meridians match certain organs or groups of organs. Most imbalances in the body are caused by blockages in the meridians.

What to Expect at AcuMantras
From the moment you arrive at the entrance, you will be greeted by one of our smiling and caring team members.
They will then take your temperature and escort you to your chair, where they will offer you a warming cup of tea and water.
The physician will then be a detective asking you many questions about how you feel, and what your day consists of such as; asking things such as your bowel movements, eating habits, sleeping patterns, pain levels, and even your sweat.
They will then ask to see your tongue and feel your pulse on both wrists. When looking at your tongue they are looking for things such as the coating quality, coating color, the color of the body of the tongue, shape, position, and whether it’s thin or puffy, etc. The tongue shows us what has been happening in the body for the last three days or so, whereas the pulse tells us what’s happening right then and there.
With their findings, they will develop a protocol for where they will strategically place the acupuncture needles. Our treating physicians never leave anything out or do any modality without first informing and consulting the patient in front of them.
