Our mission is to expand access to acupuncture, herbs and supplements so the community has more options regarding personal health care.
But just like any other service, you may be wondering how it works best for you.
What do we treat?
SCA offers trigger point acupuncture (dry needling) for musculoskeletal pain, including back, neck, and joint pain. For other health concerns, such as insomnia, digestive issues, perimenopause and menopause, telehealth consultations are available using Chinese herbs and/or nutritional supplements.
At this time, acupuncture is offered only for musculoskeletal conditions. I can address other health concerns within my scope through the telehealth service.
We don’t treat the following: smoking cessation or drug addiction, tinnitus and infections like staph or other contagious diseases.
Please get in touch if you have any questions about what I treat.
Do you treat a cold or the flu?
No, SCA doesn’t treat conditions like these.
How much does it cost?
Some of our services are offered on a sliding scale. You can pay what you want in that range for a particular service. No questions asked.
Our pricing options are:
trigger point acupuncture:
- $35 – $55 for an acupuncture visit (pay what you want in that range)
15 minute telehealth consultations*:
- consultation are free of charge
*Consultations don’t cover the price of herbs or supplements.
We accept either cash, credit cards, apple pay or Health Savings Account (HSA) cards. Please no checks. We don’t take insurance.
How do I dress for acupuncture treatments?
Acupuncture sessions are one-on-one and take place in a private treatment room. The amount of clothing you need to remove depends on the area being treated. I make every effort to respect your privacy and keep you comfortable throughout treatment.
We also ask that you bring a clean, flat sheet to each appointment. This simple way of helping out reduces our laundry expenses and allows us to keep treatment fees on a sliding scale and well below the average cost of acupuncture.
Do you have a cancellation policy if I can’t make it to my appointment?
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Otherwise there is a $30 late cancellation fee. Because each appointment is a private, one-on-one session, the entire hour is reserved exclusively for you. This policy is strictly enforced, with exceptions made only for medical emergencies.
Appointments missed with no notice at all (no shows) will incur a $35 fee regardless of the reason.
You can either reschedule/cancel through the patient portal or by texting 912-396-1764.
Can I bring food and drinks into the clinic?
For safety and hygiene reasons, we ask that you please don’t bring any food or drink into the clinic. If you need to bring water, a nonbreakable container with a closed lid is ok. Open containers, glass bottles and to-go cups are strictly prohibited.
Is acupuncture safe?
Absolutely. We use sterile, single use only, disposable needles. An acupuncturist is licensed by the state of Georgia and has over 3000 hours of training.
How long does an appointment last?
Appointments last no more than 60 minutes. If you are late, it will be less than that. I can only see one patient per appointment. There are no group appointments.
Do you treat children?
I do not treat anyone under 16. All minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times.
If you are getting treated, children cannot be left unattended in the waiting room.
