About The Pin Cushion

As Experienced Seattle Acupuncturists -

  • We believe frequent and regular treatments produce the best results.
    Research in the United States (as well as thousands of years of tradition in Asia) has shown that acupuncture is most effective when it is done frequently and regularly.
  • We treat in a community setting.
    We have grouped several recliners in a warm setting rather than using treatment tables in isolation. Appointment times are staggered so the person in the next chair may be resting with the needles while you receive your treatment. While you rest, someone else may be receiving treatment. The quiet, soothing atmosphere of our clinic will induce your relaxation and speed your results.
  • We use a sliding payment scale. (Between $20-$40)
    Most acupuncturists treat one person per hour and charge from $65 to $175 per treatment. We are committed to providing acupuncture to the widest possible clientele and eliminating cost as a barrier to treatment.
  • We accept cash, checks, as well as Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.
