While most Acupuncturists see one patient per hour at an average of $65-$175 per treatment, the Community Acupuncture model is where the Acupuncturist sees several patients per hour in a common area. It also allows you to come in with your family or friends and receive treatments together.
The Community Acupuncture Movement was created by several acupuncturists in Portland, Oregon at a clinic called Working Class Acupuncture as a creative response to the economic inaccessibility of health care in the United States.We use sterile, one-time use needles that are so thin you barely feel them.

Many people find this method more comforting and effective because the energy created by group healing is from you, the patients. Community acupuncture derives its name from the idea of group healing. Therefore, patients are treated in one large room. Family Room Community Acupuncture will strive to broaden your access to Traditional Chinese Medicine by providing safe, effective low-cost treatments.

I've had a lot of acupuncture and I can say that Family Room is among the best of the Bay and well worth the reasonable price they charge. Kim is stellar as are most everybody else I've received from there.
The vibe of this place is unmatched. I've felt nothing but the upmost care by every practitioner I've received from. Not to mention the level of professionalism and organization there.
If you haven't been and could use support, I cannot recommend Family Room enough.

I have been coming to Family Room since 2014 when I began having issues during my pregnancy. I saw Milton at the time and after one treatment, when nothing else conventional medicine had provided helped, my pain was gone. It felt miraculous and ever since I was convinced that acupuncture was my go to for preventative health care and well being. I am now seeing Jenny who is amazing and has helped me with another little miracle... For a healthier and safer alternative to western medicine, consider this place!

The entire staff at Family Room is AMAZING! I've been going to Family Room off and on for about 5 years for poor sleep, anxiety, and general wellness. Recently I injured both my back and hamstring while working out. Kim was able to locate the pain immediately and literally I felt instant relief after one visit. Also, if you love massage therapy Verne is the person to see. Truly, we are blessed to have so many fantastic healers in one location. Thank you Family Room!

I have been seeing Kim, Emily and Jonas several times each and give Family Room Acupuncture my warmest recommendations. They have not only been incredibly helpful whenever I have come in and have made a huge difference for my health, but are the nicest and most caring people you can imagine. I does not get any better.

I don't even know where to begin. If I could give them 10 stars I would. I have been going to acupuncture pretty consistently for at least 10 years only breaking here and there when it became financially draining. I am so grateful for Kim, Emily and Dove (the acupuncturists I have seen) and the rest of the crew (whom I'm sure I'll see at some point). The Great: It's affordable, to the point where I can go once a week, and the herbs are inexpensive. The hours are great and the facility is warm and inviting. The sense of healing is felt immediately when walking in the door

I just got my first therapeutic massage treatment from Ben, and I will definitely return soon. Ben is everything you could hope for in a massage practitioner. He checks in with you often to make sure he's not causing you discomfort, and he lets you know specifically what he's doing, and why.
I knew my body was a wreck before this session, but I hadn't realized just how much I was hurting --literally and figuratively-- until Ben addressed the problems. I can't remember the last time my lower back felt this relaxed.
I am a fan!

I have been going to family room acupuncture for over two years now on an as needed basis and have amazing results every time. I have seen several acupuncturists there and can say each is right on target when it comes to placement. I tend to only go when in pain, and every time I leave I feel a reset button has been hit. The community room is nice and cozy, sometimes friendly conversation and very similar to other group type clinics I've been to in the city. If you need more solitude or points on your back, the private sessions are amazing! Keep it up ladies you are all amazing and I look

Given this was my first experience with acupuncture, I really tried to keep an open mind. As far as the staff was concerned I thought they were very polite and professional. I think the community concept with a sliding scale is GREAT.
However, I wasn't pleased to find that the room in which you're supposed to be relaxing in is also the room in which you enter into the place of business and it's also the same room that the receptionist is in. When I first entered a group of people where in the middle of their treatment. As my session progressed and others arrived it was very

I highly recommend the Pacifica Family Room for anyone who is looking for a Holistic and Eastern Medicine. I have been seeing LAC'S and MT'S around the world since I was 11, I am now in my 50's.
The Family Room are a great team of oriented professionals who cares for their patients from the first time you step in the office. Emily, Kim, Tara and Ben are helping me with my neck and hand inflammation and I am feeling much better, my pain is moving out of my meridians.
Diana is also a care and helpful assistant complimenting the Family Room Team.

Being new to acupuncture, I had a lot of apprehensions about what to expect and how I should feel. When I met with Natalie, she was so reassuring and explained everything to me in a way that was digestible and non threatening - it demystified this process and made me feel at ease. It helped me deal with a constant tingling in my left scapula and carpal tunnel that I deal with. She was great! I also saw Emily, whose approach is more "aggressive" as she put it - she uses sport medicine which from her perspective works more quickly. She tried some points that were more tender and a little

I have been seeing acupuncturists since I was 10 in 1976. My first were Traditional Chinese in San Francisco Chinatown. I have experienced quite a few during my life. There is something to be said that one has to find an affinity with a particular practitioner. That said, I think Kim is the best I have ever received treatment from. The kindness to offer customers private or community to accommodate privacy and price works great. My general health is always better after leaving, e.g., I will enjoy a good nights sleep again, my lungs are clear, my skin is clearer, my pain is lessened. She is doing

So far, I've only used the acupuncture service here. My first visit was two days ago, and it was a GREAT experience. I went in knowing something about acupuncture and its power, even firsthand: Several years ago I had a work-related repetitive strain injury in my arms, and chose acupuncture treatments at Kaiser, which helped dramatically. In fact, my Kaiser acupuncturist, Rochelle, was the one who recommended Family Room for affordable treatments.
Recently I've had some much more serious health issues. So, I decided it was time to check out my community clinic. I'm very glad I did

I love Kim and Jane!
I've had so many aches and pains, sleepless nights, headaches, stress, forearm problems etc. Just problems in general and I was such a hot mess.
Well after coming here for a few months, I'm feeling so much better. I sleep so well at night, barely get headaches anymore, and no more forearm pain! Woohoo. :) I still go often because I have really bad tension in my upper back and in my right shoulder, but that's slowly improving .
At first I was a little scared that I wouldn't like acupuncture, that It was going to hurt, that I would feel weird with

I love this new spot! I do work that has caused some issues with my shoulder, as in I have not been able to lay on my side and pull my blankets over me PAIN! I went to see Kim and see if she could help me avoid surgery. It was my first treatment and I know that I will need to go back for more but for the first time in over a year I am able to move my arm in a complete circle. Thanks Kim!
To say something about the space, I felt totally calm and at ease just walking in to this space. It is very welcoming, comfy and understated. You know the focus will be on you and helping you feel better
