Offering Affordable Acupuncture &
Natural Health Care to the
Jacksonville Community
Why Acupuncture?
• The World Health Organization approves
acupuncture to treat nearly 100 conditions
including back pain, neck pain, knee pain,
sciatica, headaches, depression,
environmental allergies, insomnia, PMS,
morning sickness, addictions, side effects from
chemotherapy and radiation…and much
more.
Why Acupuncture?
• A 2012 study from the Journal of the American
Medical Association showed that acupuncture
offers real relief from chronic pain when
compared to placebo.
• A 2013 study conducted at Georgetown
University showed that acupuncture effectively
blocks stress hormones. This is significant
because a majority of chronic diseases are stress
related.
What is Acupuncture?
What is Acupuncture?
• Acupuncture is the insertion of hair-thin,
single-use needles into specific locations on
the body by a skilled and licensed
professional.
• In Florida, Acupuncture Physicians undergo
four years of training and are considered
Primary Care Providers.
What is Acupuncture?
• In traditional Chinese Medical theory, the
body is said to have channels that flow within
it, connecting all major organs and integrating
the body as a whole.
• It is also said that in these channels flows a
subtle energy called Qi. When Qi becomes
blocked or stagnated, medical conditions and
pain can arise.
What is Acupuncture?
• Traditional Chinese Medicine encompasses
five major healing modalities, which are:
– Acupuncture
– Herbal Medicine
– Nutrition
– Bodywork and Massage
– Meditation, Tai Chi and QiGong
How Does Acupuncture Work?
• Some theories include:
– Acupuncture increases local blood flow to a painful
area, causing increased oxygenation to tissues and
cells and promoting healing.
– Acupuncture releases endorphins, helping to boost
mood and relieve pain.
– Acupuncture blocks stress signals, allowing the body
to rest, heal and achieve homeostasis.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
– Acupuncture stimulates the immune system by
causing a minute amount of inflammation. This small
amount of inflammation triggers the immune system
to produce natural anti-inflammatory compounds.
– Acupuncture activates receptors that inhibit the
transmission of pain signals to the brain.
– Acupuncture can release trigger points in tight and
painful muscles.
Who Gets Acupuncture?
Who Gets Acupuncture?
• According to the 1997 Health Interview
Survey, over 3.1 million Americans have used
acupuncture. This number is probably much
higher now.
Who Gets Acupuncture?
• Numerous public figures and celebrities
receive acupuncture.
What is Community Acupuncture?
• Most acupuncture treatments in the United
States cost anywhere from $60-$175. Insurance
coverage is limited.
• Studies show that a series of 6-12 treatments are
needed to address health conditions. More
treatments are sometimes indicated.
• Community Acupuncture is a movement founded
10 years ago to increase accessibility to
acupuncture.
What is Community Acupuncture?
• Instead of being treated in a private room,
community acupuncture patients are treated
in a group setting and pay a sliding scale fee
according to what they can afford.
• This makes acupuncture more affordable and
helps patients receive as much acupuncture as
they need in order to heal.
A Community Acupuncture Clinic
Community Acupuncture for Jax
• The Bow Acupuncture & Community Wellness
plans to be open at least five days a week to
increase accessibility and affordability of
acupuncture to the community.
• It will be centrally located in
the urban core.
The Bow Acupuncture
• Mission Statement: To empower the people of
Jacksonville to care for their health in a
natural way.
• In addition to acupuncture, The Bow will offer
herbal and nutritional medicine, as prescribed
by licensed Acupuncture Physicians who are
also certified herbalists.
About Our Name
• The Bow represents strength, precision and
resiliency. It is a symbol of balance and
harmony which we strive to bring to our
patient’s lives.
