Accessibility Statement

We at Loving Awareness Acupuncture are working to make our site http://www.LovingAwarenessAcupuncture.com accessible to differently abled people. Acupuncture and traditional medicine can be a great benefit to the quality of life for people with a variety of conditions that make every day life in our society challenging.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows differently abled visitors to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.2 guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the level of A. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:
-
Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues
-
Set the language of the site
-
Set the content order of the site’s pages
-
Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages
-
Added alternative text to images
-
Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast
-
Reduced the use of motion on the site
Accessibility arrangements at Loving Awareness Acupuncture
Loving Awareness Acupuncture is located on the lower level of the Water Court office complex. If you have difficulty with stairs, there are two accessible ways to get to the first floor. One accessible entrance is an elevator in the corner of the complex closest to Wild Rose St and Hampshire Rd near Global Truth Center and Bas Rutten’s Elite MMA. The other is the underground parking that you enter on the far end of the complex From Hampshire Rd near PMCI School of Nursing. In our office, treatment can be performed in a seated position for patients who can not get on a raised treatment table or have difficulty lying down comfortably. Florescent lights can be turned off for people sensitive to bright lights and our office is in a quiet area of the complex for people with auditory sensitivities.
​
Non-Speakers are welcome with a support person. If there is difficulty staying still, I offer "press tac" tiny needles on bandaids that can provide beneficial treatment without the need to stay sill. Scalp acupuncture and Auricular Therapy Acupuncture can also be performed in a variety of positions. Suction Cupping Therapy can also be performed in a variety of positions and if silicone cups are used, it can be done while standing or moving.
