About |
DisabledCommunity.Org (DCO) is a federally recognized nonprofit with a long history of helping to improve the lives of people with disabilities. DCO is sponsoring a new project, Pain Free Clinic, which is focused on helping people disabled by pain. Pain Free Clinic will help people in pain throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, regardless of their socioeconomic status using traditional Chinese medicine techniques. Acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine techniques are a low cost, low risk method of providing high impact pain relief. In spite of that, treatments are often prohibitively expensive for people with limited means and, thus, low income patients with chronic pain are often not able to access this non-narcotic treatment. Pain Free Clinic will help bridge the gap and work to alleviate an individual's reliance on opioids.
