Acupuncture and gentle alternative “chiropractic” care for the people.
Acupuncture and Core Alignment Therapy (a gentle alternative to chiropractic care) are now accessible to all community members during clinic days at Wellspring Vitality. The clinic model allows lower prices by streamlining our providers time by focusing on one therapeutic offering along with the providers discounting their practice as a gift to the community.
Clinic days are the first and third Wednesday of the month. Give us a call to confirm dates or schedule online using the Book Now button.
