About Community Acupuncture in Jacksonville
At The Bow Acupuncture & Community Wellness, we offer a unique delivery system for acupuncture...called Community Acupuncture, and we are happy to be here in Jacksonville, Florida.
Actually, Community Acupuncture is how acupuncture is delivered in China--so it's not THAT new! In the United States, Community Acupuncture started as a movement to make acupuncture more affordable and therefore more accessible to the general public. We believe this is a good thing because acupuncture works best when you can have consistent treatments.
With community acupuncture, acupuncture is delivered in a group setting in reclining chairs. You meet with your acupuncturist for a brief intake, then the practitioner will insert the needles and you sit back and relax and let the needles work. Patients remain fully clothed while receiving their treatment. Your treatment can last anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour.

Fees: About Our Sliding Scale
We strive to make acupuncture affordable, which is why we use a sliding scale. You choose what you pay on the scale. No income verification is required - no questions asked. Pay what you can afford!
Initial Visit: $10 New Patient Paperwork fee, plus Sliding Scale Payment of $15-$35
Return Visits: Sliding Scale Payment of $15-$35
Acupuncture requires a series of treatments to receive the full benefits. Our pricing is set so that you can afford to receive as much acupuncture as you need in order to heal. It is advisable to receive sometimes several treatments per week until symptoms resolve, after which treatments can be spaced further apart.
