Highland Park Improvement Club adds community acupuncture

Historic Highland Park Improvement Club already is home to dancing, yoga, cooking classes, wine tasting, movie nights, community meetings, parties, and now … a weekly community acupuncture clinic. Walk in between 11 am and 3 pm Tuesdays, and you will see those six chairs, enabling practitioner Christopher Huson, L.Ac. (right), to treat up to six people an hour. Last week was a test run; today was the first official day, so we stopped in for photos. Fees: “$15 to $35 sliding scale, you decide, no proof of income necessary.” Not much red tape, either – upon arrival, you fill out a short form, then pay, and book your next appointment if you’d like one, so that you don’t get jarred out of your relaxed mood once you’re done (Huson says most patients fall asleep during the treatment, so let him know how long you have to stay, so he can wake you up to go).

P.S. To see what else is up at HPIC (12th/Holden), check out their latest newsletter (and note the classic movie they’re showing this Friday!)

    A golf ball hit me in the right elbow resulting in severe pain and swelling. Iced it right away and then visited Mr. Huson for acupuncture and Moxa (sp?). Rapid and complete recovery.

Sorry, comment time is over.
