Working Class Acupuncture has a lot to celebrate this May Day!  Many of you know that our clinic started in April of 2002 as “Window of the Sky” (that happens to be the name for a set of acupuncture points that we liked) seeing 12, count them 12, patients a week.  In April of 2008, our clinic hit a new high with 431 patient visits in one week!  That’s 3591% growth in six years. And we got there because of you!

Not only that, we estimate that there are at least 100 clinics around the country (and a few more internationally) that have adopted our business model and our goal of making acupuncture treatments accessible to people with ordinary incomes. None of those clinics are as big as we are (yet) but still, this means that thousands of people are getting acupuncture who normally would not be able to afford it:  grocery workers, food servers, construction workers, nurses, childcare workers, self-employed people, retired people, students, single parents, and all kinds of other folks who deserve to have choices about their health care.

HAPPY MAY DAY! 

Acupuncture belongs (again) to the people who need it.
