Our Mission

The People’s Acupuncture of Asheville is a community Acupuncture clinic committed to providing affordable Acupuncture.  Through this model we provide treatments so that people can get the care they need to get better and stay better.

Sliding Scale

Our sliding-scale is $30-$60 and $45-$90 for the first appointment.
You decide what you want to pay on our sliding scale.  We do not ask for proof of income. We accept cash, card, Venmo and Apple Pay. Sorry no checks. We do not bill insurance, but will happily give you a receipt for you to send to your insurance company. Late cancellation and no show fees are $25 for new patients and $45 for new patients.

Acupuncture works best when received regularly and frequently.  Our sliding scale is set to be affordable so that you can get treatments as often as you need to get better and stay better.

What to Expect

Community Acupuncture means that treatments are done in recliner chairs in a communal room. This is how our treatments are made so affordable!! We can treat anything through Acupuncture points accessible from this position, even areas like the low back or neck. We also have a room with a massage table reserved for patients who may not be able to lie in a recliner.

For your first Acupuncture treatment we recommend that you come in about 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork in our waiting room. You can also print and fill out your paperwork at home. Our paperwork is available in the forms page of this website or downloaded from your appointment confirmation email.

When your paperwork is done you will then come into our office. There we will sit with you for about 10 minutes and listen to your health issues and the reasons that you are seeking treatments.

From there you will proceed to the treatment space and get yourself ready for your treatment. This means silencing your phone, taking off your shoes and socks, and rolling your pants up to your knees and sleeves to your elbows. We have bins next to every chair for you to put your things. Once you are comfortably reclined in your chair we will come in and give you an Acupuncture treatment.

You will then rest with the needles for about 45 minutes. We have quiet music playing in the background. Feel free to bring headphones to listen to your own device if you like. You may also want to bring a blanket or sheet to stay extra warm. Most patients either dose or drift off during this time. After about 45 minutes we will come let you know and remove your points and your treatment will be over.

While you are at the clinic we may recommend an additional herbal supplement to help. We carry Chinese herbs, linamnets, supplements and cbd.

We ask that you refrain from wearing overly scented products and perfumes or smelling like smoke.

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. No show or late cancellations will be charged the price of an appointment.
