Welcome to People’s Acupuncture, an affordable, low-cost acupuncture clinic in the heart of Bellevue. We treat all patients whether you have insurance coverage or not.
We have two spacious treatment rooms with two tables, two zero-gravity chairs, two regular recliners, and a back-massage chair. Each room can be used as a private room or a group room to treat multiple patients together. You will remain fully clothed in a group treatment, and therefore come wearing loose and comfortable clothing.
We are patient oriented and results oriented, taking pride in producing great results with 90% patient return rate while providing a safe, non-rushed and relaxed atmosphere.
For what others in Bellevue may charge $80 - $200 per treatment; we charge $40 - $60, so that you can afford getting 4-6 more return treatments to achieve the desired therapeutic results. For Veterans, we offer another 50% discount on top. We also offer various discounted pre-paid packages, some of which can be shared among family members and friends. We offer a “Report of Findings” during your very first visit so you’ll have an overall assessment of your health at no additional charge to you.
Case after case we’ve seen patients recover after frequent and incremental treatments. In China, people could afford daily or weekly treatments because having acupuncture there is like having a bowl of hot noodles and soup. We would like to foster a partnership between the patient and the acupuncturist to enhance the healing process. A strong partnership is the only thing that matters, not the insurance, time constraints, nor the ability to pay. We take the necessary time and effort to communicate with our patients, building their knowledge and confidence in our medicine.
We take cash or check only. We do not work with insurance companies. If you have insurance to cover acupuncture, we will provide a super-bill for you to submit directly to your insurance carrier.
Our treatment encompasses Acupuncture and a number of applicable modalities such as Tui Na Massage, Chinese Herbs and dietary therapy that are part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine. We will refer patients to Qigong and Tai Ji exercise classes with a highly experienced instructor.
We only use sterile, disposable, single-use acupuncture needles. These needles are hair thin in diameter, causing very little pain with experienced and safe needling techniques — 40 of the most thin acupuncture needles could fit inside a large hypodermic needle.
