Welcome! Kindred Community Acupuncture is a comfortable and affordable sanctuary for healing, connecting, and sustaining ourselves and our communities in Pawtucket, RI.

We are licensed and caring people with LOTS of experience and LOTS of dedication to making natural health care as comfortable, friendly, and as affordable as possible.

Owner and acupuncturist Korben Perry has been doing acupuncture for 20 years. He co-founded Philadelphia Community Acupuncture in 2007, and worked at Providence Community Acupuncture from 2011 through 2016. He and the clinic are members of the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture. He lives in Providence with his family.

We treat in a community setting. It’s traditional in Asia for acupuncture to occur in a community setting, and it has many benefits. It’s easy for family and friends to come in together; many patients find it comforting; and, a collective energetic field becomes established which actually makes individual treatments more powerful.

We charge on a sliding scale. We’re committed to widening access to the people’s medicine of acupuncture. Treatments cost between $35 and $70. You simply decide what you can afford, and there is never any need to prove your income or financial situation.

Stay as long as you like. You can rest for as long as you like (as long as we have space). There’s no “right amount of time”, and most people learn what’s best for them after a treatment or two. We won’t disturb you if your eyes are closed, so whenever you feel done, just sit up in your chair or catch eyes with the acupuncturist.

Acupuncture is a process. It is rare for any acupuncturist to be able to resolve a problem with one treatment. Frequent and regular treatments are much more likely to lead to relief and real healing. This is one of the reasons we want your visits to be something you can really afford. Your acupuncturist will recommend a treatment plan.

Acupuncture is not primary care. Like any form of medicine, acupuncture has its limitations. If you have a serious health issue such as a prolonged infection, a malignant growth, or an injury that won’t heal, or if you want someone knowledgeable to go over the details of your medical history with you, you need to see an MD.

We are a sustainable and regenerative, community business model. This means we exist because patients pay for their treatments. We are very grateful for the extraordinary amount of marketing our patients do on our behalf. This helps keep our prices low. Please continue to help us spread the word!
