Low Cost Acupuncture Clinic Sees Success

COLTON >> Acupuncturist Edward Romo recently celebrated his second successful low cost acupuncture clinic in Colton July 9 with a larger crowd than before. “We had more people than I anticipated,” he said. “It went well.” Romo, 10-year Redlands resident, held his first clinic in Colton April 27 because he wanted to extend his practice to more people at a lower cost. “(It is) treatment done in a group setting at an affordable cost,” Romo said. Acupuncture helps by stimulating the root of the pain. With the additional use of natural remedies, the body begins its natural process of self-healing and the pain is relieved, with the added bonus of no negative effects from medication. Romo’s next acupuncture clinic will be held July 16 at Redlands Holistic Health Center, 826 Brookside Ave. Suite G from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. His goal is to start holding one every other week, alternating between Colton and Redlands. “Each one is a learning experience,” he said. “This time, I wasn’t so nervous because it wasn’t my first one. It was a great experience.” Several people mentioned to him they had missed the previous clinic but heard about it and decided to come out July 9. For those who missed the one on July 9, he encouraged them to come out to the one on July 16. “My goal is to do it so it becomes established,” he said. The benefit of the low cost acupuncture clinic is not only to help people who want to improve their health, but also to do it at a cost that is viable for them. The way the clinic is designed is on a sliding scale, which means people can decide between $25 and $40 what they want to pay for the session. It is cash only to help facilitate the process. "They pay what is comfortable for them so they can get well within their budget,” Romo said in a previous article with City News Group.
