We Guide - You Apply

During the coronavirus shutdown, we found a solution for those patients who can’t or don’t wish to come to the office for treatment, but still want and need the benefits of Acupuncture: Guided, self administered mini-acupuncture!

We know, it sounds scary at first, but with very simple instructions and our expert guidance, we can craft a treatment almost as good as what you can receive in the office, all while staying at home and taking your Acu-nap in your own bed or couch.

Let’s explain the process.

*As of 2022, direct booking of Virtual Acupuncture has been turned off as our schedules are full, but cancellations happen all the time. Simply hit the button below and email us and we can let you know if we have any space.

When Does Virtual Acupuncture Make Sense?

  • Immune Compromised Patients

    Avoiding all unnecessary contact but still need relief.

  • Embryo Transfer Acupuncture

    Some clinics across the country still aren’t allowing Acupuncturists on site for treatments. We can guide you while you’re on the table prepping for transfer in just 15 minutes!

  • Currently Sick & Don’t Want to Infect Anyone

    Acupuncture is a great immune booster and stress reliever. If you have any sort of illness we can still treat you without putting anyone at risk.

  • Our Offices Are Too Far

    If you live outside of the Philadelphia region, we can combine in depth consults with Virtual Acupuncture to make it feel like you’re in the office with us and still work with our amazing team of providers.

The Process

1

Reach out to us by phone, email, or you can even schedule an appointment online through our scheduling software (just take into account appropriate time to collect the stickers - see below).

2

To receive an individualized packet of stickers, you can either come to any of our offices and pick up a packet or let us know your address and we can ship them directly to you by mail (takes 2 days to arrive)!

3

At the time of your appointment, you’ll be emailed a link to follow that starts a HIPAA compliant video chat through our scheduling software with one of our providers. They’ll check in with you about your goals, ask the right questions, and demo how to use the stickers.

4

Using a combo of your camera and imagery from the web, they’ll then expertly guide you to self administer the stickers. We recommend being close to a surface you can lay down on. The stickers are super easy to apply and are barely noticeable.

5

Once the stickers are on, treat it like you would in the office; just lay down for 25-30 minutes and take a good acu-nap! The stickers have a small protective button over them so if you need to lay on one it shouldn’t bother you at all.

6

After the time is up, simply remove the stickers. Some can be left on for a few days, but let us guide you for which ones you can leave and which to take off. They’re small enough that you don’t need a home sharps container, just put them right in the trash.
