Why Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a gentle, comfortable treatment that has been used safely for thousands of years, in many countries, for all kinds of ailments: from back pain to ankle sprain; from indigestion to anxiety & depression; from PMS to everyday stress. Like most other healthcare modalities, acupuncture is a therapy that usually requires a course of treatment.
From the traditional perspective, acupuncture works by restoring a healthy flow of energy in the body. From a modern scientific perspective, lots of studies have been done, but none of them have answered that question completely. From our practical perspective, we at DCA are less concerned with how it works, because we see how much it does work. Moreover, you don’t have to believe in it for it to work (acupuncture has been used with good results on animals), and you don’t have to change your beliefs. Acupuncture is not a religion, or witchcraft, or magic; it is a centuries-old, empirically-based therapeutic system. For more information about acupuncture, check out our acupuncture FAQs page.
Why Community?
Detroit Community Acupuncture is part of the growing Community Acupuncture movement, which is committed to a vision of affordable, egalitarian, accessible acupuncture. At Community Acupuncture clinics, we mostly treat people in recliners, clustered in a quiet and soothing space. Treating patients this way has many benefits: family members and friends can come in together for treatment; many patients find that it decreases the sense of isolation that often comes with illness; and (best of all) a kind of “collective energy” happens which makes individual treatments more powerful.
There are two other Community Acupuncture clinics in the area: Community Health Acupuncture Center in Ferndale, and Michigan Community Acupuncture in Livonia. If either of these locations is more convenient for you, please contact them directly.
