About the Business

York Community Acupuncture is a small, socially responsible business that tries to make acupuncture accessible to as many people as possible. As cost is one of the major factors preventing access to treatment, the clinic offers truly affordable acupuncture, keeping costs low by treating up to four people in the same room together.

In the West, acupuncture is still mostly practised privately, with one patient seeing one practitioner for around an hour and usually being required to pay anything between £35 and £200. In our clinic, you choose how much to pay on a 'sliding scale' between £12 and £20 per treatment, making a complete course of treatment affordable.

As well as the reduced cost, an extra benefit is the community spirit that emerges. It also means that you can bring friends and family along to be treated together. The clinic is situated on the ground floor, has ample free parking and is wheelchair accessible.

Acupuncture

Most UK acupuncturists treat patients on couches in individual cubicles. This is not traditional in China, where acupuncture usually takes place in a group setting and is relatively inexpensive.

In a low cost community clinic, your treatment is to the same high standard as a 'one to one' clinic but, while you are relaxing into your treatment, the acupuncturist can move on and see the next patient. By treating up to three other patients in the same space, the price of each treatment can be reduced.

As well as the lower cost, treating patients in this way has many other benefits: many patients find it comforting, and a collective energetic field becomes established which actually makes individual treatments more powerful.

The clinic's ethos is to provide financially accessible acupuncture to the majority of people. We want to make it possible for you to receive acupuncture regularly enough to get better and stay better.
