About The Clinic
New Paltz Community Acupuncture is a community-style practice. This means that we treat up to 5 patients in one open and soothing space. There are Japanese screens placed near each treatment table to provide some privacy. One of the benefits of being treated in community-style is the collective healing energy that is created in a group setting.

At New Paltz Community Acupuncture, we have taken the following environmentally-conscious steps:
- EarthLite Massage Tables: EarthLite doesn't use rainforest hardwoods or wood from old growth forests. They depend solely upon farmed and renewable wood sources. The tables are made with CFC Free foams, 100% PU vinyls, and water-based lacquers. The company has a commitment to recycling and to treating their employees well: www.earthlite.com.
- Bulk-pack Needles: Acupuncture needles often come individually wrapped with 1 guide-tube for each needle. This is a waste of packing and plastic. We use DBC bulk-packs in which 10 needles come in a sterile pack and there is 1 guide-tube for 10 needles. While this still produces waste, it helps to cut it down.
- 100% Recycled Products:
- File folders
- Copy paper
- Business cards
- Green cleaning products and laundry products are used
