Sliding Fee Scale Idyllwild Community Acupuncture provides high quality acupuncture treatment at affordable rates in a supportive community setting. We practice a style of acupuncture which mostly uses "distal" points in the hands, feet and head to treat problems anywhere in the body - meaning we will probably treat pain in your back by placing tiny needles in your hands. Research in the United States (as well as thousands of years of tradition on Asia) has shown that acupuncture is most effective when it is done frequently and regularly - once a week is usually the minimum required to make progress of any kind of health problem. The purpose of a sliding scale is the separate the issues of money and treatment; I want you to come in often enough to really get better and stay better! The fees below give you options for what you might pay depending on your income. However, everyone's situation is different, regardless of income; therefore, you choose what you pay. If your case will need frequent or long-term treatment, I suggest you choose the lower end of the scale so you can complete treatment successfully. My goal is to make acupuncture available to you as often as you need it.
The Scale: $30-$50 for initial visit $20-$40 for regular visit $15 and up for return or multiple visits within one week Keep in mind, also, that if the financial assistance is still needed beyond the sliding scale, there are many opportunities to exchange help in support of the clinic.
