about community acupuncture
Community-Style Acupuncture is the primary model of acupuncture care in other parts of the world but the movement in the United States began in the late 90s in Oregon. It aims to increase accessibility to acupuncture care by offering a sliding scale fee of $20-$40 per treatment and offering more convenient appointment times. Rather than seeing one patient per hour or having multiple private rooms, an acupuncturist is able to keep costs down by seeing multiple patients per hour in a large room set up with comfortable recliners.
about our acupuncturist
Kari Gardner believes that healing, in its truest form, addresses all levels of an individual in an attempt to eliminate dis-ease and promote wellness.
Kari is a NYS licensed acupuncturist and certified Holistic Health Professional. She began her career in 2002 as an acupuncturist's assistant and apprentice. During this time, she earned a masters degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the New York Chiropractic College's School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Additionally, Kari is certified in colored light therapy, radiesthesia, facial rejuvenation acupuncture and environmental energy assessment and balancing.
Kari has worked in Rochester as an acupuncturist for several years in a variety of settings. Upon moving to Syracuse in early 2009, her practice became focused on acupuncture for fertility and pre-natal wellness. She has worked closely with medical doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors and other complimentary practitioners to offer well-rounded treatment plans using a mixture of healing modalities.
Upon joining the Synergy Center, Kari decided to leave behind the traditional Western acupuncture model of treating one patient at a time (at a higher cost) and adopt the Community-Style acupuncture model. Kari feels community acupuncture is a perfect fit for the Synergy Center, in particular, so that clients will not have to choose acupuncture or homeopathy/naturopathy/massage/etc., but, can choose acupuncture and their other wellness therapies.
