Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used systems of healing in the world. Acupuncture is simple, safe, and sustainable healthcare. Acupuncture works. Traditional Chinese Medicine holds that there are over 2000 acupuncture points on the human body, which are connected by energetic pathways called meridians.
It looks like I won't be needing to come in any time soon for fertility issues. I'm finally pregnant! Thanks so much for all of your care. I enjoyed coming in every week. I found the whole acupuncture process to be so relaxing and truly believe I benefited from it. I hear acupuncture is a wonderful addition to prenatal care as well so you may see me back in soon!
Welcome to Barefoot Doctor, and thank you for choosing us! The following will help your first visit be a great experience and will familiarize you with what to expect during your first visit. Within our clinic, we treat in a community setting. This is different than what you may have experienced if you've already received acupuncture in a private setting, but don't worry!
Jenny Corbin is the founder, and an acupuncturist at, Barefoot Doctor. She opened the clinic in 2009 after graduating from a 4-year Master of Oriental Medicine program in Albuquerque, NM, and after practicing in Philadelphia for 9 years.
Jenny's early work experience in Philadelphia at a nonprofit HIV clinic, at a physical therapy center, and at her own private practice led to her conviction that she needed to find a sustainable way to practice acupuncture for both herself and her clients.

Barefoot is where I go to chill out and de-stress. It has been life saving for me during these difficult times. Jen is super cool and amazing. You can tell she really cares about her clients. I’ve been going weekly for a few months now and I have a great experience every single time. I’m so grateful I found this place.

I started going to Jenny about 1 month ago for jaw tension and stress. I am amazed at the difference acupuncture has made already. The jaw pain and stress have dissipated and previous life stressors don't make me feel as anxious. Jenny follows strict COVID protocols and the office is very clean and inviting. Don't hesitate to schedule an appointment - you won't regret it.

I absolutely love coming here, the community acupuncture provides a welcoming atmosphere and it is actually comfortable to be able to join your neighbors is getting acupuncture. They have very safe regulations in place for Covid and the acupuncturists are knowledgeable and do an amazing job. I love how meditative the environment is and it is very relaxing and healing

I had shoulder problems for years because of a couple car accident. I went to the Rothman Institute, NovaCare Rehabilitation... I had two sessions at Barefoot acupuncture and I was on my roof cleaning leaves and splitting firewood for the first time in years. if your skeptical you should give it a try. It doesn't hurt and is it inexpensive enough to try once and find out if you love it.

Barefootclinicphilly got my baby in me, and got my baby out of me. I went for fertility purposes to get pregnant last year, I went in my 3rd trimester to flip baby when he flipped to breach, and I went to… induce labor and it all worked!! Jenny and Peter are the best!! Also helped me with mental health during a year of grief last year.

So, today was my first time ever experiencing acupuncture therapy. I spent some time beforehand researching local acupuncture centers in order to find an establishment that I would feel comfortable with. After thorough online sifting I came across Barefoot Doctor Community Acupuncture. The reviews really stood out for me and Jen's name was listed throughout. I immediately set an appt for that very afternoon with Jen and took that "leap of faith". The initial consultation was very thorough and inquisitive. I provided Jen with every aspect of my ailments (Anxiety, Insomnia and Digestive

I go into total relaxation when I am there and the energy is great! I’ve also taken my son there for allergies and it really helped him. Thanks Jenny! ❤️

I wanted to share my story in the hopes that if you are suffering with hormonal or menstrual challenges, you consider Barefoot to help regulate your body. A few years ago, I began to notice that my menstrual cycle had changed, and that I just wasn’t feeling myself. I was having heavy discharges in between cycles, unpredictable regular cycles, and hormonally I felt a mess the majority of the month. I knew something wasn’t right, and if I didn’t deal with it I would not be living my best life. After my annual gynecological exam, my doctor noticed a polyp that needed removed, and suggested the

I was struggling with cystic acne for about 3 years and tried everything from prescription medication, new face washes, facials, spot treatments, changed my diet. Nothing seemed to help. I’ve been seeing Jenny for over two month now and my face is clearer than it’s been in years. I am forever grateful. Jenny makes you feel very comfortable and is very professional and knowledgeable. In addition, the environment is beauftul and relaxing and front desk staff is very friendly. I would highly recommend Barefoot Acupuncture!

Jenny is a very kind person with a quiet demeanor who has created a wonderful warm atmosphere on Girard Avenue. Her treatments have been very helpful with pain management and sinus headaches. Everyone's experience with acupuncture is different, however, my first with Jenny left me in a euphoric state of relaxation. I fell asleep for an hour in my chair while receiving treatment.

So, I went to a chiropractor, he proceeded to twist and crack my 54 y/o spine into the shape he thought it should be...he said I needed to come 3x per week for 6 weeks. I went to the Barefoot Dr. just a few times and I started to feel better after the first visit! She was very soothing and professional. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.

I do not visit Jenny on a regular basis - usually only when I am having shoulder/back pain or overall stress that is impacting the quality of my sleep. After 1 or 2 visits I can tell there is improvement.
After a few visits I tend to drift away until the next set of problems, but its nice to know that the barefoot doctor is always an option, convenient and easy to book an appointment, and a reasonable price.

Excellent. I am glad I discovered Jenni. She has provided me with tremendous relief for my migraines and jaw tension. One can tell she's good by how busy she is; a steady stream of people of all shapes and stripes come in to be pinned. The community has really embraced her. I love that I can walk over for treatment. The price is fantastic as well.

My husband was in severe debilitating nerve pain for weeks. Multiple ER trips, sleepless and frantic nights for both of us. Within 10 minutes Jenny had Michael in almost no pain and we were able to talk and laugh as he was receiving his treatment. We have gone every day for about a week and my husband's pain has become very manageable without the… use of narcotics or medication! We can't thank her enough and plan on continuing treatments with her as he recovers from this injury. She is such a wonderful knowledgable woman. I have been singing her praises to everyone.

Jenny is the best! I love coming in for treatments. They make me feel so grounded. I am never rushed and always feel comfortable. Jenny always takes the time to listen to my issues and provide support.
The online booking system is easy and simple to use. There is always free parking on Girard Ave or 2 hours on the side streets. I highly recommend!

I just started acupuncture after a friend who lives in Brooklyn told me about the community acupuncture model that is less expensive than private acupuncture.
I have visited Jenny twice and have enjoyed each session! The environment is very warm, welcoming, and relaxing. I recommend this option for someone who is looking into trying acupuncture but is not able to pay a high fee for each visit.

I love getting acupunture and I love getting acupuncture from Jenny at Barefoot! It just feels really accessible. She sits with you your first visit and gets an idea of what you are hoping to get out of acupuncture and explains the process. It's easy to make appointments and the sliding scale is really nice.
I would highly recommend to anyone but especially first timers of acupuncture.

This was my first time trying acupuncture, looking for something to prevent migraines instead of just treating them as they occurred. After five weeks of twice weekly treatments, I'm seeing noticeable results. I'm having fewer migraines, and the ones I have are less severe and easier to treat.
I like the community aspect, it doesn't feel exposed. And, the space is very calming. Jenny is wonderful, she listens and is genuinely interested in making sure the treatment is working for you.
