Seminole Heights Community Acupuncture Opens in the Heart of the Heights

Acupuncture is a simple way to tap into the complicated systems of the body. It's real, it's practical, it's available in Tampa right now. It doesn't matter if it's stress, pain, or internal distress. Even if you already feel great, we can help.

Healing based on simplicity. Pricing based on reality.

Tampa, FL, 11/9/13 – Seminole Heights Community Acupuncture (SHCA) is opening next week and will begin providing acupuncture at its new location at the corner of N Central and Lambright. Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most common and dependable medical therapies used in the world. It is by nature simple, safe and effective care. It has proven to be not only exceptionally safe when performed by licensed acupuncturists, but statistically effective in an increasing body of scientific studies.

The clinic’s affordable sessions allow patients to come as often as they need to achieve better health and return to their favorite activities. Gurras Khalsa, AP, director and co-owner of the clinic says, “We’re taking acupuncture back to its roots and treat patients in a setting similar to how acupuncture is traditionally done in Asia.”

One of the unique aspects of SHCA is that patients choose what to pay for their treatments from a range of $15-40. Acupuncture works best when it is done frequently for a short period of time as opposed to sporadically over several months. SHCA's sliding scale fees allow patients to pay what fits their budgets.  Also unique to community acupuncture is the use of recliners, clustered in groups in an open, quiet, soothing space. Treating patients in a community setting has many benefits: it is easy for friends and family members to come in for treatment together; many patients find it comforting; and the collective environment established by the group treatments feels like it increases the effectiveness of the treatments.
