In our community clinic, patients are treated together in a large, well-ventilated room by our dedicated, compassionate staff. Each appointment includes a check-in with the practitioner and either a front or back treatment. At the practitioner’s discretion, patients may book an extra appointment for cupping, gua sha, tui na, herbs or an additional front/back treatment. A patient who is only interested in cupping or gua sha can simply book either an initial community acupuncture appointment, or a follow-up community acupuncture appointment, and put either "cupping" or "gua sha" in the notes section. Patients who are interested in an herbal consultation should either book an "Initial herb consultation" or a "Follow-up herb consultation."
