Public Health and our Community Environment: 

UPDATE: As of 9/20/23, we are not accepting new patients. Please email us if you are the recipient of a gift certificate and need to schedule.

We have appreciated your flexibility and support as we have adjusted our safety protocols since re-opening in July of 2020. As you know, recommendations are ever changing and keeping our community safe is always our priority. PCA staff continue to change sheets between patients, and sanitize the clinic frequently.

COVID-19:

If you have tested positive for COVID-19, please do not come to the clinic for one week. As always, we never charge fees for appointments missed due to illness! If you have symptoms of a cold, acute-onset vomiting or diarrhea, sudden loss of taste or smell, a temperature above 100, a cough, or an unexplained rash, we ask that you cancel your appointment. You may return to the clinic 10 days after your symptoms subside.

What you need to know for your treatment:

We ask that patients schedule appointments online, as much as possible. Without Front Desk support, there will be very limited ability to return phone calls.

In order to keep our community setting as safe as possible, we will be limiting access to the clinic. We will not be taking walk-ins; only people with appointments may come in.

Your acupuncturist will collect payment chair-side or on the way in. We continue to accept cash, check, or credit card. If paying with cash, we ask that you try to have exact change available. 

Treatments are for a duration of 45 minutes. Lateness to your appointment may shorten your treatment time, depending on space requirements.

We have lightweight and warm space blankets for sale (at cost) for $5 that you can bring with you for subsequent visits. (Or bring your own blanket).

That's it! The rest is easy! You'll briefly explain what you'd like to work on during your treatment, we'll place your needles, and you can get busy napping! Ahhhh. 

Less fun details: 

Please understand that we may be unable to see you if you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment and will need to count that as a missed appointment. Being late to your appointment may shorten your treatment time, depending on space requirements. We will be charging $20 for missed appointments or appointments cancelled with less than 12 hours. 

We continue to follow the guidance of the CDC and local health officials. Thank you for standing by us these past years; your support has truly sustained us. 

We are SO excited to share this fundraising campaign! Over the past couple years, Coalición Fortaleza Latina Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Community Acupuncture have been partnering together in a variety of ways. Our latest project has been taking Community Acupuncture directly to the Spanish-speaking immigrant community in Montgomery County, removing as many barriers to care as possible. CFL-PA is a grassroots group of organizers and they do INCREDIBLE work. We have been working together on raising unrestricted funds to support their work (these funds cover needs ranging from supplies for their community farm to buying lunch for community members during long days at immigration court) and it is our hope that this fundraiser will provide another stream of funds for them. You need one of these beautiful shirts! This gorgeous design is by Laurie Elder.

If you missed out on getting your PCA t-shirt the last time we offered them, here's another chance! We've opened a store on Bonfire with your favorite "naptime for grownups" shirts! We're sorry about the gendered style labeling (order whichever style shirt you feel good in!). Click here to get yours! We also have “Healthcare is a Human Right” and “People Before Profit” masks for sale there!
