How it works
Our community acupuncture clinic is held in a 'multi-bed' setting, meaning several people are treated on separate treatment tables together in one large space.
Acupuncture needles usually take 20-45 minutes to do their work, so the practitioner can place needles in one patient and leave them to relax before moving on to another patient. This way of working enables us to significantly reduce the price of each treatment for our patients.
While multi-bed clinics are relatively new to the West, in China it is common practice to treat multiple people in one space. As well as benefitting from the lower price, many people prefer the experience of receiving acupuncture in a more communal atmosphere.
My experience at Lewes Community Acupuncture has been wonderful, I have been attending the clinic for several months and it has become an essential regular visit. I am so delighted to have found such a welcoming and effective acupuncturist. I can't recommend them highly enough.
