Community acupuncture on Salt Spring Island.
Acupuncture from registered acupuncturists in a calm, shared treatment setting at the Wellness Centre in Ganges. Pay what you can afford on a sliding scale of $40–$70.
Shared space. Sliding scale.
Community acupuncture treats several people at once in a quiet shared room instead of one-on-one in a private office. Sharing the space keeps the cost down, so you choose what to pay within a flexible fee range.
The Wellness Centre is home to the original community acupuncture clinic on the island.
Per treatment. Pay what you can afford within the range.
