About Hillcrest Community Acupuncture

How they work

Hillcrest Community Acupuncture treats in a calm, shared community room rather than private rooms, which is what keeps care affordable. Patients settle into comfortable recliners while essential-oil aromatherapy and quiet soundscapes fill the space, and the acupuncturists favor distal points in the hands, feet and head. Sessions are booked at short intervals but run anywhere from 30 to 75 minutes, so there is time to rest and relax. Because visits are kept affordable at $40 to $60, patients can come as often as their care calls for.
