What is Concierge acupuncture?

When my son was born in the middle of the 2020 pandemic and my wife was immunocompromised my acupuncture clinic model shifted. Gone were the days of seeing multiple patients in the clinic at the same time. My patients needs also shifted as they too required a more personalized treatment that they could trust would provide the best care for their medical needs.

Enter, concierge acupuncture.

what is concierge acupuncture?

Concierge acupuncture is a high-end acupuncture treatment provided privately and centered around the patient, rather than the clinic schedule. It is often given at home, at work or in a very personalized one-on-one environment eliminating the friction that prevents most people to receive regular treatment.

Treatments may include:

• In-home acupuncture sessions

• Extended treatment times

• Personal movement coaching (yoga, longevity Qi Gong)

• Customized recovery protocols, including herbal formulas and supplements

• Inter-visit direct communication

Who is concierge acupuncture for?

I primarily see busy professionals, executives, as well as patients who prioritize convenience and privacy.

The real benefits of concierge acupuncture are:

Convenience:

• This is the most obvious one. No commute. No waiting room.

More Personalized Treatment:

• Most clinics have practitioners handling more than one room. That is not bad. It is purely volume-based care.

• Concierge care is more likely to be slow. More focused.

• More time to: assess movement patterns, review lifestyle factors, discuss sleep, stress and recovery and develop a realistic strategy rather than a put needles in and leave.

Better Nervous System Response:

• We often do not consider the environment pre/post treatment. Going through the traffic in LA. Running into clinic stressed. Looking at your phone prior to treatment. Driving home after a treatment. All cause the heart rate to increase, and cortisol levels to rise, decreasing the effectiveness of a treatment.

• Treatment at home will enable the nervous system to calm quicker.

Privacy and Exclusivity:

• Nobody wants to wait in a general waiting room.

  • Executives.

  • Public figures.

  • Parents with newborns.

  • Individuals who have suffered an injury.

• There is discretion in concierge acupuncture. Private care. Pesronalized environment. Familiar controlled noise.

Is Concierge acupuncture more expensive?

The right question is not: What is the cost difference?

The question is: What is your time worth?

Since a treatment saves: hours of traffic time, reduces missed work, improves recovery, and increases consistency

Suddenly the cost of healing is less expensive the the cost of remaining sick.
