Free Acupuncture Day at Many Rivers

Many Rivers Community Acupuncture, an affordable acupuncture clinic with a sliding scale of $15 - $35 per treatment, is expanding its hours.  To celebrate, they will host a Free Acupuncture Day on Saturday, August 9 from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm.  Free acupuncture treatments will be provided for all new patients.  Call (860) 683-0011 to schedule your free appointment.  

Starting in August, Many Rivers will be expanding its hours to 8:30 am – 1:00 pm Mondays through Saturdays and 2:30 pm – 7:00 pm Mondays through Thursdays.  “Many of our patients have been asking for Saturday hours and I am excited that we are now able to offer them,” said Many Rivers founder, Carrie Sawtell, L.Ac.  “The goal of community acupuncture is to make affordable health care accessible to everyone, so being open 6 days each week is a big step in reaching this goal.”

Many Rivers has treated over 1,700 patients since their grand opening three years ago.  Their experienced acupuncturists can help with conditions ranging from back and neck pain to insomnia, asthma, hot flashes and migraines.  “Many people think acupuncture only treats pain and are surprised at the large number of problems acupuncture can resolve,” said Many Rivers acupuncturist, Heather Finn, L.Ac.  “Often, patients first come to us because of pain issues like sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome, but over the course of their treatment we help them reduce their stress levels, lose weight, sleep better and improve their digestion.”

Many Rivers is part of the community acupuncture movement, which is working to make health care affordable and accessible.  Acupuncture treatments are provided on a sliding scale, from $15 - $35 per treatment (plus a one-time new patient paperwork fee of $10).  The clinic is located at 44 Bloomfield Avenue in Windsor center, and is easily accessible from highway I-91.  For more information, call (860) 683-0011 or go to http://www.manyriversacupuncture.com.
