There have been lots of little things going on behind the scenes here at DCA headquarters, including re-creating some files that were lost when a computer died; among other things this means we’ve changed to a new and more user-friendly online scheduling system. I’m sending out directions to all patients for whom I have a functioning email; if you don’t get it, email or call the clinic at 313-831-3222. Or, feel free to use the “Schedule” link to the left, click on the yellow button, and try it out!
We’re also changing and slightly expanding our open hours, starting Monday, February 15th. Our new hours will be Monday, Tuesday, THURSDAY and Friday from 2:00 to 7:00 (last appointment at 6:00), and SATURDAY we’ll be open from NOON till 4:00 (last appointment at 3:00). Nora will no longer be working on Wednesdays, but starting in March, Jalyn Spencer WILL be treating patients on Wednesdays. We’ll post an announcement with more details soon. The clinic will continue to be closed on Sundays (for the time being). Of course, our long-term goal is to continue to expand, and to be open more hours for your convenience.
To get you all used to the new schedule, and because it’s Valentine’s day on Sunday and we love our patients, AND because the Chinese (Lunar) New Year starts on Sunday, we’re having a 2-for-1 special for the last two weeks in February. Start the Lunar New Year off right, by sharing the love! Call the clinic to schedule, or use the new online scheduling system. As usual, this special is for both new and returning patients.
One more thing: unfortunately, because so many people from the surrounding neighborhood have been using the parking lot attached to the building, the building owners have decided to put a gate on the lot, and our patients will no longer be able to use it. Please know that we are as unhappy about it as you are, and we are busy trying to figure out alternative solutions. Your patience and loyalty in the meantime is greatly appreciated, and we’ll try to keep some quarters on hand for meter-feeding.
Happy New Year of the Tiger! – that’s *got* to be a better one for Detroit, right?
Hi Nora,
I was just thinking about scheduling an appointment. Nora, I was wondering if there is a way to use Acupuncture for chakra balancing and ensuring that the energy is not stagnated in the major energy centers?
Thanks,
Trevor
Hey Trevor,
Well, it’s mixing metaphors a little…I don’t feel like I know enough about the chakra system to do that intentionally, but in general, since acupuncture helps get energy flowing, I think the effects would probably be similar. (I know there is a system of “marma” points in Ayurvedic medicine, which are similar to acupuncture points and I think often overlap…but that’s about the limit of what I know about that.) I do often ask people to tell me where they feel they feel or “carry” stress or anxiety, and choose points based on the idea of getting that area “unstuck” (or less “sticky”); and I suppose those areas would often correspond to chakras. Does that help?
