No Place Like OM

Acupunture Works - Patricia Heraughty, LAc., Dipl. Ac., O.T.

Acupuncture Works is a Community Acupunture Practice, with a maximum of 4 patients in the room. This style of acupuncture is done fully clothed, reclining in a zero gravity chair.  The acupuncture points selected are located on the extremities, scalp, and ears.  Treatments are simple and concise.  Although the syptoms treated are generally less complex, it is very effective in the treatment of healthcare issues such as depression, pain, headaches, stress, anxiety, quit smoking, weight-loss and more.  With community acupuncture, your individual needs are provided to you in an affordable group setting.  Additionally, the group's energy promotes relaxation, harmony, and enhanced healing.

The Mission of Acupuncture Works Community Style Practice is to provide the best possible care and to make acupuncture a treatment modality available to everyone.  

The treatment is simple and will only take a few minutes.  We use sterile, single use needles only, which are thinner than a strand of hair, and there is little to no discomfort upon insertion.  You may feel a dull ache, a warm tingling sensation, or electrical impulses that travel up or down the body, all of which indicate a favorable response.  Patients generally described these sensations as fleeting, the experience deeply relaxing, and often falling asleep during treatment.

After your first treatment, we will discuss how many treatments are recommended for your condition, and how frequently you should schedule your appointments.  Payment is appreciated prior to treatment as well as scheduling your next appointment so that you may simply leave once the needles are removed.

On the day of your appointment, please wear loose comfortable clothing that will not bind you.  You should be able to roll up your sleeves above your elbows, and pants above the knees.  Acupuncture is not recommended on an empty stomach, so eat a something light before your appointment.  The treatment area has a quiet atmosphere.  If you desire, bring your own relaxing music to listen to with earbuds.  Following your treatment, please avoid strenuous activities, however, moderate exercise such as walking, tai chi, or gentle yoga would be beneficial.

Initial visit $40.00.  Follow up visits, $30.00  Please give 24 hours notice of cancellation.

Clinic Hours are 1:30 - 4:30 Tuesdays, and 1:30 - 5:00 Thursday.
