Affordable & Accessible Community Acupuncture

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. There are many good acupuncturists in San Diego. You want a practitioner that offers the highest quality service at a reasonable price. Many times you need to try several therapists to find the one you work best with. At Sustain Community Acupuncture, we take the time to listen to you, provide the highest quality service and offer it at one of the most reasonable values you will find anywhere.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. There are many styles and many focuses in Acupuncture medicine. Find someone who understands your health goals and can help you achieve it through a robust application of diet, exercise, lifestyle counseling and Chinese medicine.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. Ask about credentials, success rates with a particular condition and the treatment protocol. Acupuncture is dose dependent and you want to seek a practitioner who you can afford to see for more then five insurance visits or once a month if their fees are too high.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. People seeking acupuncture therapy should be aware that it may take between 3 and 5 visits to notice a chane in their condition and 20 or more to achieve a lasting effect. The upside of acupuncture is that it improves overall health and also works to heal the body, not just cover symptoms. Therefore, once a result is reached, commit to a month or two of bi-monthly follow up visits to set the changes in place.
