West Philly Community Acupuncture (WPCA) was opened on February 25th, 2014 as a member of the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture (POCA) located at 4636 Woodland Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19143. They provide community style acupuncture, which is defined as taking place in a setting where several patients are treated at the same time, “by financially sustainable and accountable means”, and being easily accessible with consistent hours and affordable treatments with few barriers to care (“POCA”, 2016). They are open Tuesday through Thursday from 3pm-7pm, Saturday from 10am-2pm, and Sunday from 1pm-5pm. At WPCA, they have an atypical pricing method. Rather than billing through insurance, they ask their clients to pay on a sliding scale, ranging between 15-35 dollars at the client’s discretion. The client pays prior to their treatment, yet, how much or how little they pay does not dictate the quality of the treatment, number of acupuncture points used, or length of visit. WPCA does not ever ask for proof of income or employment. As such, receiving two treatments in one week could range from $30-$60 dollars, depending on what the client chooses to pay. They maintain that they are able to keep prices low (about the price of an insurance co-pay) because by having community treatments with multiple people occupying a single room, they are able to treat more people at one time. With low prices, the WPCA is able to fulfill their personal mission as well as the mission of the

Acupuncture has been identified as a “method of preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease by inserting metal needles into the body at designated locations¬—acupuncture points— at various depths and angles” (Armstrong, 1972). This specific type of medical treatment was officially introduced to the United States in the 1800’s by Chinese immigrants, but was not properly recognized as a healing method until 1972. During that year President Nixon had traveled to China, where a local New York Times journalist had been treated with acupuncture to help him cope with the pain he had, after experiencing an emergency appendectomy (Updated Acupuncture Lecture, Slide 7). Even though it took years for acupuncture to become acknowledged in the Unites States,

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese practice, in which tiny filament needles are inserted at strategic points of the body to treat conditions ranging from headaches and neck pain to fibromyalgia. The needles provoke the release of endorphins and other hormones in the body; promoting enhanced circulation and a noticeable reduction in pain and inflammation.

San Francisco is a city of Uber and Lyft riders; other cities must have been an after-thought. But don’t trust my possibly-biased observation. So far, I only drove in a few cities though I sampled enough of Northern California--who needs other states when there is California, and its crown jewel city, San Francisco, the city by the bay. Known for the good food, Instagram-friendly nature scenes, mural arts, and of course, steep hills that require bravery of anyone who attempts to drive on them.

Low back pain has been a major activity limitation for many people below the age of 45 years in the United States (Andersson, 1999). According to a study conducted in the U.S. in 1997, there are 54 percent patients that report back pain and using complementary therapy (Wolsko et al., 2003). Another survey conducted in 2002 indicated that while back pain led to most frequent patient visits to acupuncturists across U.S (Cherkin et al., 2002). Western countries still experience many case of chronic low back pain which can be attributable to high medical expenses, decline in productivity, as well as disability. There still exists a variety of standard treatments although some have not been cleared as affective. Acupuncture is a contemporary as well as alternative treatment strategy for patients wilt low back pains although there are questions from previous systematic reviews that were inconclusive on the results of acupuncture treatment strategy for low back pain. These statistics indicate a high level of public concern hence strengthening the relevance for asking whether acupuncture gives positive results in the treatment of back pain. Therefore this research seeks to gain evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the positive results of acupuncture in treatment of low back pain.

I have integrated various holistic practices into my treatment plans including acupuncture, yoga, massage, meditation and prayer. I also discuss and recommend the importance of balance in our lives, which is a major philosophy of Ayurvedic Medicine, “balance between body, mind and spirit” (What is the philosophy, n.d.). I stress how healthy choices regarding diet, exercise and relationships can impact a patient’s physical, emotional and spiritual balance in their life.

Many people shy away from trying acupuncture because they don't know how it works, there's no visible proof. Even though acupuncture doesn't require taking a pill or being injected with medicine, it does have positive effects on many people. The human body has approximately 800 to 1000 acupuncture points (Dr. Michael). These points were found through ancient Chinese medicine theories and are where the needles are inserted into the body. Each point has a specific purpose and name. These points lie on one of the body’s fourteen meridians which run from head to toe and connect to the body’s organ systems (Dr. Dorel). The body is a matrix of electromagnetic energy which flows through the fourteen meridians (Acupuncture). Acupuncture works through these organ systems and meridians.

“You’re going to get bored.” was the response my previous employer and family gave when I accepted the Finance Director position at a community health clinic. Yet any job can be mundane if not innovatively shaped by arising opportunities. Unlike my previous auditing position which had less concrete hours, plenty of travel, and a variety of clients, this job was a standard Monday through Friday, 8 am – 5 pm, and no travel position in which I focus all my effort on one organization. I knew this organization was not the final stop on my career journey but it was an important stepping-stone along the way. As a bonus, the Finance Director position combined my skills and passion for helping others in a way auditing could not.
