Laura Eastman is now offering traditional acupuncture in a community style setting and making regular treatment more affordable in the process. After a private, confidential consultation, patients move to the open treatment room. There they relax to soothing music in a zero gravity chair and receive treatments to the head, arms, hands, legs and feet.  Eastman treats patients for a range of symptoms including pain, fertility, menopause, anxiety, stress, digestive issues, headaches/migraines and addictions. All treatments cost just $20. 

With a growing body of research to back it up, acupuncture is being recognized as an effective form of therapy. For example, a recent publication in The Archives of Internal Medicine highlighted the results of a five-year study of pain management using acupuncture.  The data from over 18,000 patients suffering from chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, osteoarthritis and migraines showed acupuncture to be more effective in relieving pain than either placebo or standard of care medicine.

“Unfortunately, most insurance plans don’t cover acupuncture, so I wanted to find a way to make acupuncture a more affordable option. Not only does treating in an open setting lower costs, it also allows for friends and family to receive treatment together, removes a sense of isolation and intensifies the power of group healing,” says Eastman.
