Community Acupuncture Is Affordable and Effective
Why Community acupuncture
LMCA's mission is to make acupuncture accessible to the community by offering treatments in a low-cost, high-volume, mutually supportive and inclusive environment. Acupuncture, for thousands of years, has happened in groups, not alone. In community acupuncture, we understand that acupuncture doesn't need to be expensive to work. And that healing in a community environment helps us feel that we are all in this together.

How Community Acupuncture Works
In community acupuncture, you receive treatment in a reclining chair, in a calm and relaxing environment, with others receiving acupuncture in the same room. Each patient is given individualized care and then given time to relax. Often, people fall asleep and get some much needed rest and healing in a supportive space.
Because community acupuncture uses a shared space for treatments, rather than single massage-type treatment rooms, the price for acupuncture is much more affordable. Single room treatments may cost 4-12X more $$ per session than C.A., which prevents many of us from being able to receive as much acupuncture as we need to feel better. In contrast, Little Mountain Community Acupuncture is able to charge $25-$45 per session, on a sliding scale and you pay what you can, which allows you to receive acupuncture as often as you want and need. This is one of the many mutually supportive benefits of community acupuncture.
