The clinic offers sliding fees, from $15 to $45, and clients pay what they can afford within that scale, according to the company’s recent press release. Located in Pawtucket’s historic Woodlawn neighborhood, the clinic administers acupuncture in a group setting in an effort to keep costs affordable and create a more-relaxing environment.

The clinic’s founder, Korben Perry, has been practicing acupuncture for 15 years, 10 of them in community acupuncture settings, and in 2007 launched a large community acupuncture clinic in Philadelphia. Other staff members are Ash Trull and Gayle Rodgers, the statement noted.

“It feels good to be contributing to a movement that’s dedicated to coming up with solutions for justice and access in health care, and that’s committed to making acupuncture, which is historically a people’s medicine rather than some boutique treatment, available in as many communities as possible,” Perry said in the statement.
