The waiting area is a pleasant stop to ease from your day into your appointment. Their website to easy to maneuver to book your appointment and to download your history. The therapist spends some time getting to know you. The interview process was not rushed and I felt my therapist listened to me. My session involved cupping and needles. My therapist talked with me to ease any stress or worry that might crop up through you. What a great experience. You pay from a sliding scale. read more

I had my first session and was greeting by such friendly staff at check in.. Next up was Toby who took me into a room and discussed exactly what would be done and asked questions about my needs. He was very warm and informative! Once we entered the treatment room I took a seat in a recliner of choice. The atmosphere was very calm with dim lighting. The session took about 35-40 min once in the treatment room. Once finished the staff didn't rush me out the door but instead continued to make me feel welcome. The pay is sliding scale and I wanted to cry that they were sincere that you pay what you can pay from $25-40..I paid the $40 in hopes that it can help someone out that can't pay the full price at treatment time. Before leaving I set my next appt! read more

See all

Sinus infection and headache is feeling much better now! I forget about this option far too often. They do a sliding scale payment structure so it's affordable. I have been coming here for over ten years. I need to come more often. Recommend! read more

Best acupuncture clinic I've been to. EVER. So friendly, quick, kind and on the ball with getting me taken care of. Very affordable and accommodating. Highly recommend read more

I'd never had acupuncture before but my knees were giving me so much pain/trouble, I decided to give it a try at Community Acupuncture on the recommendation of a friend. It's not fancy, but it is affordable and friendly, and most importantly, it works! What's causing my knee pain can't be helped with acupuncture, but the pain itself has been alleviated substantially. I'm kind of amazed. Sliding scale (pay what you can/want) between $25-$40. read more

Let me start off by saying that it is extremely difficult to please my boyfriend. He doesn't trust doctors especially once he got Bell's palsy. So for him to say he likes the acupuncturist is saying a lot. They have an awesome rate that is 25 dollars because they understand that the economy is struggling so instead of trying to make money off of people they are honestly and genuinely trying to help people in need which is something that I admire! I believe more places especially doctors or anything regarding ones health should be like this. read more

Community Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I am only being a teensy bit hyperbolic when I say this place has changed my life. First off, acupuncture: No matter HOW many studies are done showing acupuncture is very effective, people are skeptical. I am here to tell you cynicism and doubt are my middle names (my family is very dour), and I am a convert. Placebo effect or actual therapy, it WORKS. When I skip a week or two, I do feel a difference. Their sliding scale is what makes me able to actually go every week-- contrary to what you may know about the glamorous world of dog training, mama doesn't have much spending money. I go to John, who is absolutely amazing, and very concerned with your holistic health-- he doesn't just shove some needles in you and call it a day; he recommends other (often free) therapies and work you can do to feel your best. The care is totally individualized. The group rooms are quiet and peaceful...being in a "group setting" doesn't interfere at all with the quality of treatment. Also, needle phobics, you can barely feel it, and you don't feel them once they're in. I say this as the least New-Agey, hippy-dippy person in the Midwest: GO NOW. read more

This place is great! Never would've thought that acupuncture would actually help sore joints. They place peaceful music and make sure you're comfortable. Also they have unique pricing. You basically pay what you want in a range of $20-$36, and they never pressure you to decide, pretty BA if ya ask me! :-) read more

What a great idea. A wonderful way to help those that can't afford the more expensive option. This place offers a sliding scale payment. I believe it's anywhere from $20-$40 depending on what you can afford. Pros: the cost, obviously. Since I didn't have a job while I was in St. Louis this past time, this was a major plus for me. The people are kind and take the time to ask how you are and how you've been. It's nice. The location was pretty convenient too. Cons: it's not really a bad thing unless you're uncomfortable around other people, but you are all of n the same room. Everyone getting acupuncture is in a common room. But if you close your eyes and relax its not that big of a deal. All in all I love this place and will be back when I am in St. Louis. read more

I have done acupuncture before and am a true believer. However, I have never had such an amazing experience as I do here. Newly relocated to St. Louis, I was looking for a new acupuncturist. Look no further than this place; the community setting and sliding scale payment options, as well as many different acupuncturists to choose from make this a stellar option. They are open six days a week and until 6:30 PM on most of those days. In addition to listening to your needs, they encourage a dialogue so that they can help you in any way possible. I would not choose anyplace else. I look forward to my weekly treatments and recommend Community Acupuncture above any other. read more

Community Acupunture is definitely worth a try, especially, with the sliding payment scale. This scale is anywhere from $25-$40.00 and whatever you pay, they don't question. I started going there about a month ago for Migraines and Headaches. I have been working with Toby and he is a great guy. No complaints. He is friendly, informative, and caring. I was nervous about the community part of it where 6 people are in a room receiving Acupunture. But after my first visit, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I keep going back and leave relaxed every time. The first appointment you book, you do get a private room for health discussions and history prior to going into the community room, which was great. Overall, I keep going back and I would recommend it. read more

Let me start by saying I don't like needles and have never done acupuncture before. However, I have heard so many good things about results and this place that I wanted to try it to manage some pain I have been having. In case you were like me and didn't know, the needles are like cat whiskers, very thin. I appreciate the sliding scale fee of $20-$35 that you decide what you want to pay so it is more affordable. They take a health history and then you go into a room that has multiple recliners that is low light and soothing music. You sit for 30-40 minutes and then you are on your way. Be advised this is an urban area with free street parking. I did not have any trouble finding it. You can make your appointments online or by calling. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is no one returned my call the first time until after 5pm. I would have also appreciated more of a heads-up about drinking water after doing acupuncture. Other then that this place is great so far. I hope it can help resolve my pain issue. read more

I can't say enough great things about John. He takes the time to really understand his patients and their needs. He even provided his personal cell when I was going through a time of need and checked in on me. read more

This was my first community acupuncture experience. The receptionist was patient and kind, despite the fact that had I arrived late for my first appointment (sorry, guys). I worked with Toby, who was so helpful, patient and knowledgable! I have never been more comfortable or content during a treatment. And I left feeling amazing!!! Last but not least, I REALLY appreciate the sliding scale. My financial situation as an unemployed graduate school student doesn't change the fact that my anxiety throws every part of my life and body out of whack. The fact that this place exists in our own city is a HUGE blessing -- take advantage of it. read more

Clean, calming facility. The staff were exceptional. I was not expecting as much being that there are affordable treatments but I was pleasantly surprised. Knowledgeable acupuncturists in a comfortable setting. I will be back! read more

Exceptional, wonderful clinic that offers low-cost acupuncture and herbs on a sliding scale based on your income. Acupuncture sessions are an incredible way to heal yourself through many conditions. They are also a great path for "tuning up" your body, even when not faced with a particular condition. The clinic is a group setting: You have a private consultation with one of the two doctors, and they become your permanent doctor (unless you want to see the other one). The first visit is the longest one: you spend about forty five minutes discussing everything: your diet, your exercise levels, your health history, etc. Then you go in for treatment: The treatment room is warm, clean and very comfortable. You choose a reclining chair and the needles are administered. The doctors at Community Acupuncture are somewhat conservative in their approach; they only use needles where absolutely necessary. Each one is taken out of their brand-new, completely sterile paper pouch. They are immediately discarded after use. As with all acupuncture clinics they are NEVER re-used. I would recommend this clinic to anyone. Acupuncture is designed to be most effective when used frequently. The sliding scale fee at Community Acupuncture makes it possible for me to go every week; sometimes twice a week if I'm working through something. Community Acupuncture rocks! read more

It's easy to book online and the office is very pleasant. They have all sorts of things to make you comfortable during your session (eye masks, heat lamps, ear plugs, cough drops, dim lights and music). I was having sleep issues and they are almost gone after six weekly appointments. With the sliding payment scale it is affordable to do as often as needed. I looked at other acupuncture places and the initial consultation and first session was over $100. I am so glad I found Community Acupuncture! read more

I was so excited to visit Community Acupuncture. It came highly recommended by one of my yoga students. I arrived 10 minutes early and was greeted by an unfriendly woman named Mary. She gave me some forms to fill out and immediately shut the sliding glass doors and got back on her phone as I went to sit down. After I gave my paperwork back she again slammed the sliding door without telling me anything. Not a "thank you, have a seat, someone will be out shortly..." Nothing. Instead she managed to call and make an appointment for herself and make about a 10 minute phone call to her daughter. People have their days, I get that. I decided to be patient. My appointment was at 2:00. At 2:25 I was still sitting there. I got up and Mary opened the glass door this time and said: "yeah she's running a little late." I responded back and said that it would've been nice if someone would've let me know. I was then given a very stale, "yeah sorry." She couldn't have cared any less. I took the afternoon off to make my appointment and after the rave review my student gave me I was hoping for a wonderful end to my Friday. Instead, I was given probably the worst client service I've ever had. I also want to add that after booking my appointment I was sent two confirmation emails over the course of a few days as well as a voicemail reminding me of my appointment the day before. That I can appreciate. This business does a great job at reminding their clients to be there but unfortunately, from my experience, that's the only thing they delivered. read more

I cannot recommend Community Acuouncture for several reasons. I had three appointments and each time someone other than my acupuncturist came into the room after my treatment to remove the needles. I did not know who was entering the room. I was not dressed and felt very vulnerable. Once a needle was left in and I found it as I was dressing. The people removing the needles are the same people who work at the front desk. I suspect the have no medical training. Another issue for me was cleanliness. Once I asked for a blanket and was handed one that was draped over a chair. I have no idea how many others had used it. On my last and final visit, the needles were placed in a different area of my body with no explanation. Overall, I just didn't have much faith in their professionalism. read more

I would give them ten stars.I have been going to them for a couple years now every Tue and Thur and I can tell you I feel 100% better every time I leave there . It is like going to a family they are caring and take time to listen to your problem. I can't say enough good things about acupuncture. I have many problems from back neck and hip pain also stress. and when I leave there I feel so much better. I hope anyone who reads this will give them a try .Better than drugs.I can't say enough about everyone who works there. Give them a try you will not regret it you too will feel much better when you leave there. Sharon Vogler 12-5-2017 read more

my last visit happened earlier last week when i suffered from a sinus headache and badly sprained ankle. i thought i'd come back to a place where they work 'miracles.' sometimes not instantaneous, but i always feel quite relaxed when i leave. the sinus thing persists but the sprained ankle has no swelling or pain immediately after the treatment. though they forgot to give me my discount for booking an appointment prior to this current week (it was suppose to be 50% discount), i can forgive them for it: they make it affordable enough for an unemployed full-time student like me to experience acupuncture as an alternative to western medicine and pills. read more

Great place with wonderful practitioners. Love their MO and the vibe here. Very happy they're in the neighborhood, they do a great service for the community. read more

I absolutely love John and Olivia! So great at what they do and very knowledgeable!

Nice people committed to helping clients to live healthier, happier lives. I have been working with Jim to stop smoking and so far, I am smoke free for multiple weeks. Sliding scale for payment makes services available to all who need them. read more

Finding a good acupuncturist is like finding gold - and finding a good acupuncturist who is also affordable can be literally life changing. I've had only positive experiences with the staff of Community Acupuncture and Jim, in particular, is an outstandingly knowledgeable and skilled practitioner. The clinic experience at CA is relaxing, responsive, respectful and affordable to students and pensioners alike. Community acupuncture makes addressing common health complaints simple and affordable for everyone. I wish more people knew about this place, even if it meant it would be harder to get an appointment! read more

This acupuncture clinic is wonderful! The owners are expert practitioners and very kind and caring people. The staff make you feel at ease especially if it is your first time experiencing acupuncture.. The number of physical and mental ailments this practice of healing can relieve is absolutely amazing. I highly recommended this clinic. For the price, you won't find anything better in the St Louis area. read more

I've never gone in for acupuncture before, on a friend's recommendation I decided to give Community Acupuncture a shot (ha hhaa!). What can I say? Bryan and John are angels. They genuinely want to make you get better. This is not a floozy spa-like scene, its a very serious, health oriented place. I know acupuncture takes time, but already after two sessions I am feeling so much better and in control over a problem that had absolutely ruined my past six months. They have a sliding scale option as others have noted. I haven't taken advantage of it, but I just want to say that it warms my heart to know how sincerely they want to make acupuncture affordable to a wide array of people. I just know this place is going to become my top favorite thing about St. Louis. read more
