WINDSOR — Many Rivers Community Acupuncture, an affordable acupuncture clinic will host a Free Acupuncture Day on Nov. 30 in Windsor.

Free acupuncture treatments will be provided for all new patients between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Acupuncture is helpful around the holidays to reduce stress and boost the immune system.  A recent study showed that acupuncture works on the molecular level to significantly reduce levels of a protein linked to chronic stress.  In fact, experts say acupuncture is so relaxing that most people fall asleep during their treatment.

Acupuncture can also be effective for all kinds of pain, including back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, and heel pain.  In addition, acupuncture can relieve seasonal allergies, digestive problems, and gynecological disorders.

Many Rivers is part of the community acupuncture movement, which is working to make health care affordable and accessible in the United States.  The clinic is located in Windsor center.

Treatments are available on a sliding scale from $15 – $35, plus a one- time $10 paperwork fee for new patients.  Many Rivers will be collecting donations to support the Red Cross and the Hurricane Sandy relief effort at the Free Acupuncture Day.
