Community Acupuncture:Making Buckets from Ming Vases
Description
J of Chin Med (2012), Rohleder, Lisa.
Abstract
Community acupuncture--as practised by self-styled 'acupunks'--is a radically different vision and philosophy for the practice of acupuncture in the West. Patients are seen in a group setting, which allows for treatment to be conducted via a high-volume, low-cost sustainable business model. Spa settings and excessive Chinese medicine theory are unnecessary with such a model of treatment, as the needles do all the necessary work. This article describes the vision, aims and underlying philosophy of the community acupuncture movement.
