The last 5 weeks have been very difficult due to a pinched nerve causing numbness and electric shock waves down my arm & hand. I have been going for 4 days straight (5 today) as to get the best results as recommended while I'm flared up. Cate is knowledgeable, kind, and cares about your specific needs. So grateful this sort of pain relief is available at an affordable price. read more

I've had debilitating chronic health issues for many years. Conventional health care does little to help so I decided to try acupuncture. I've been going regularly for a while now and some of my health issues are gradually improving. Cate is compassionate, patient, listens and is a skilled acupuncturist. I recently tried a gua sha treatment with Taylor who is also, kind, listens and skilled. Violet, who is usually at the front desk is also terrific. If you are wanting to try acupuncture or are looking for a new acupuncturist, I highly recommend TACO! read more

I've been dealing with long Covid and Cate has helped me finally turn the corner toward healing. From asking all the right questions, to consulting with colleagues regarding my extended loss of smell and taste, to listening to my reports about how my mind and body were shifting pre and post treatments, the totality of my experience has been nurturing, healing, and amazing. I am so grateful to Cate and TACO for helping me get to the point where I felt pre-Covid: whole, healthy, and vibrant. read more

I got my boyfriend a onetime session here to help with allergies, stress, and some head pressure. I had no idea it would benefit him as much as it did. Since it is a Co-op your not by yourself with the facilitator. You're in a group setting with a bunch of lounge chairs in a room where everyone has just received their treatment. The facilitator pricked him in the ears, head, forearms, feet and around the ankles. She said you could leave the needles in for as long as you would like. After she pricked him he said he instantly fell asleep. Once awakening he asked the facilitator if it was common to quote on quote "trip". Supposedly, the facilitator said, "yes". He really enjoyed the experience thus making me want to go here to experience it! They even offered a buy one & bring someone new for a free experience! So guess what I'm going! read more

I was not a believer in acupuncture, but having tried everything else short of surgery for my sciatita, I tried Tucson Acupuncture. They worked a miracle. After 1 visit I was 80% cured. After the second visit I was pain free!! I can't say enough good things about them!! read more

Cate is unbelievably kind and attentive. After losing all motion in my hand without concurring answers from MDs or tests, a friend whose had great outcomes from here recommended and I'm so glad she did. Cate embodies healing and I'm getting more results from each visit. The 'frequent recliner' option allows me visits without breaking the bank. It's truly a community effort with volunteers helping with laundry and front desk duties. Thank you, Cate, for your focus on healing others. I'll be forever grateful. Also, I appreciate the N95 mask requirement and HEPA filters throughout - it adds to my feeling of safety in your 'healing' room. read more

Cate at Tucson Acupuncture coop has healed my body and given me the confidence and good health to have a healthy normal life again. The environment is quiet, relaxing, clean, which allows one to receive a quality healing experience. I recommend TACO to everyone! Grace read more

This place rocks and they really care about the community. I come here regularly and highly recommend it!

Prior to my first visit in January 2019, I had been in constant pain for 30 years. Since my very first appointment I find I am moving around better, less pain, my attitude is extremely better, I am no longer depressed and my arthritic hands no longer constantly pain me! I highly recommend Tucson Acupuncture Co-Op. It works great for me! Thank you Brent, Ellen, Josh and Whitney, I am forever grateful! read more

I love this place! I met Josh at the Broadway Co-op and then started coming to TACO a few months ago. It is a wonderful way to decompress and relax. The space is really inviting, quiet and dim, with comfortable chairs and chill music. The sliding scale ($15-$35) payment is great- there isn't a bunch of invasive paperwork or anything like that, you just come in and tell the person at the front desk how much you can pay. There is no pressure to pay more than you say you can. I was a complete acupuncture skeptic before I started going earlier this year- now my body totally craves it if I miss a week! read more

I have used Tucson Acupuncture Co-op on six occasions. The first time was for a "frozen shoulder". Three sessions completely cleared up this problem. The second was for a back issue. While the three sessions did not entirely clear up my back pain, it helped and I am continuing with chiropractic and massage. I cannot say enough about this small cooperative. All three professionals (Ellen, Josh and Brent) are extremely professional, courteous and friendly. I leave TACO each time feeling refreshed and rested. It is very helpful to stay for the recommended hour. Invariably, I fall asleep each time I have a session! That's how relaxing it is. And, of course, the price is right!! Very reasonable rates! Check out Groupon. read more

This place is amazing! TACO is so relaxing and Cate is a great acupuncturist. She is very kind takes the time to listen to your needs.

I love what's being done at TACO. It's relaxing, it's effective and dang do they really care about everyone that walks in the door. They work really hard to increase access to acupuncture for EVERYBODY and I love that face masks are required. I really want to know that a clinic is doing what they can to keep me and others safe and out of the hospital. Getting treatments has helped me heal my guts to the point where I no longer have food sensitivities and I am WAY less anxious. read more

As someone who needed acupuncture once a week to get through all the pain and stress my body was under back when I lived to San Francisco, I am so excited that Tucson Acupuncture Co-op as the first place I tried in Tucson. It's sooo cool! You get the one on one that you need and you can sleep as long as your body needs! By having super comfy lazy boy chairs in one room it makes a form of healthcare, that when it works for people, affordable and do able! Everyone working at the desk and all the acupuncturists I've had I have really enjoyed. Yes if I need cupping or massage I could also find a place for a one on one appointment, but this is just really perfect for me and my chronic health, since I need it so often. I love this place. I love that it exists and I'm just very grateful. read more

I just started treatment at the Co-op this past week for an elbow tendonitis issue that was aggravated by much bicycling and has persisted for months. After trying several modalities and not getting much relief, I decided to try acupuncture and I am very glad I did! I saw Ellen for my first treatment and was amazed to find much improvement when I awoke the following morning. I went back the very next day and was treated by Josh and again saw a further improvement in with this persistent and painful injury. I am going to continue my treatments with them as I have greatly benefitted from their expertise. I found both of them to be caring, compassionate and genuinely interested in my healing. Thank you both for brining affordability to this beneficial modality. read more

If you are looking for acupuncture for a very low sliding scale price you have to come here. No place in Tucson would accept my insurance for acupuncture so I found Tucson Acupuncture Coop and will not be going anywhere else. This place is amazing and has cured me in so many ways. If you have never had acupuncture i will always recommend it. People are scared of the needles but there is nothing to be scared of they are placed on top layers of your skin. This is a community acupuncture so you walk into a room with a bunch of reclining chairs and choose one to sit in. They offer blankets if you feel you would get cold during your treatment. You can stay for as long as you like. For your first time they will ask you why or what you are there for and you can come as often as you like. They staff are wonderful and caring and are really there to help everyone in the community. Thank you for changing my life for the better! read more

Acupuncture was suggested for me by my primary care physician to help manage some pain I have been experiencing in my shoulders, neck, and wrist due to computer use/painting/drawing/slouching. After doing a little light reading about what acupuncture is, exactly, I am still mostly unclear about how it works but it has been touted to work for everything from general stress, anxiety/ mental health disorders, sleep disorders, pain management, allergies, and a whole lot of other things. Tucson Acupuncture Co-op offers a sliding scale cost for patients and has a great online reputation so I decided to give them a try. For my first visit there was a $10 fee for new patients, and they request the patient tell them what they will pay (a range from $15 to $35 for services). The room where they give treatments is large, and filled with reclining chairs covered in clean sheets. When you go into the room (very quietly) you can take any empty chair. There are baskets to put shoes/purses/water bottles, etc. Then just lie back and wait for the acupuncturist to come by. The acupuncturist will ask questions about what you would like treated and other questions regarding your condition. Then they get to work. The needles are not scary. They are very fine, like the width of a hair, and I have been barely able to feel them being placed in my skin. More sensitive areas feel (to me) like having a hair tweezed. Almost immediately after the acupuncturist is done I feel super sleepy and take a long nap in my chair. I usually like to rest for about an hour, and when I wake up the acupuncturist comes back and takes the needles out, then I am ready to leave. Again, I'm not exactly sure what it is about this treatment that works, but it has worked for me so well. I have been going about twice per week and, in addition to some stretching exercises and getting a monthly massage for the past few months I have seen an amazing improvement in my body. If you are suffering from something and have tried a lot of different treatments I highly suggest trying Tucson Acupuncture Co-Op (TACO). Their acupuncturists are calming, caring, and very professional. The space is very well-maintained and their prices are very affordable for a medical treatment. read more

Acupuncture works! I have had pain for over three years and migraines that truly were hindering me from living my life. This place is wonderful and affordable. They know you and your ailments by name and let you relax as long as you need too. Extremely clean and have gotten many of my family members to fall in love with this place! read more

I've been to a handful of Co-Op/Community Acupuncture studios, this one i like. I mostly like the atmosphere, they have string lights all over which help set a nice mood for relaxing. My Favorite person is Brent, he listens and shares, and he's pretty inspiring. I always feel great leaving. Check this place out!! read more

I have actually been going to see Josh for acupuncture treatments for well over 6 years. When I first began with Josh he was at another acupuncture location and he along with Ellen opened their own clinic. I really enjoy receiving treatment from Josh and I trust his judgment. While I've never received treatments from Ellen I've heard many great things about her as well. I was initially skeptical many years ago although this treatment works! The clinic is clean, friendly and professional. I would recommend the clinic to anyone! read more

Community Acupuncture is a national movement to make acupuncture affordable and accessible.There are a few acupuncturists at this Co-op. Josh, Brent and Whitney have treated me often, are good acupuncturists with a kind professional demeanor and effective skills. I have seen them and had good results for pain management and inflammation when treated by them. They are open 7 days a week! Can't beat that. read more

I LOVE TACO! Best Acupuncture Co-op in town! They have the nicest facility and the service is unbeatable. They operate on sliding scale... which for me means that they REALLY do want to HELP people. Some local LAc's charge over $100 for an initial acupuncture visit. Don't be fooled into thinking it's superior because you lie down on a bed in solitude. Every good acupuncturist knows that more frequent visits achieves better results. And in order for us to come in more often... it has to be affordable. read more

I've had treatments from both Brent and Josh. Both were excellent, professional and I experienced results. I appreciate that it is affordable. I'll be back. Thanks! read more

Some things I would rate a 5 in this clinic -- namely Josh. He was great at this job and caring, receptive, listening, competent. But two times my stay crossed over into Ellen's shift. I don't know if she didn't like having to take the needles out of "not her client", or she's just normally cold and rude. Once could be a bad day; the second time showed a trend...and I haven't been back since, which is too bad as I could use it. The receptionist (there are several and I don't know her name) was very welcoming when I first came in. As I was filing out forms, I gingerly asked why they needed some info (can't remember if it was birthday, social security or something else, but they certainly don't need my SS number!). I guess she took offense at that, and subsequent interactions went down from there. You're good if you don't ask any questions she doesn't like! BTW, she did say the info was unnecessary. A very mixed bag at this place, which is too bad for Josh. read more

LOVE this coop! Affordable and amazing quality acu. Josh is very good at listening and addressing your concerns. I've been struggling with mood, sleep and hormones in association with weaning and my acu experience was like a "reset" button. I feel amazing! read more

I've been into Tucson Acupuncture Co-op 3 times now within the last 2 weeks. Each time I have gone in, Ellen has treated me and each experience has been fabulous. I have found relief from my anxiety with acupuncture treatments. I highly recommend Tucson Acupuncture Co-op! read more

Tucson Acupuncture Co-op (TACO) is a real gem. Centrally located and staffed with the talents of Ellen and Josh, it is truly an oasis of peace and healing. You can feel it the minute you walk into the space and are welcomed by the staff, often volunteers. The community atmosphere instantly creates relaxation and you are quickly transported into "adult nap time" just as promised! The healing benefits of acupuncture are authentic and you are in the best of hands with both Ellen and Josh. read more

I love Tucson Acupuncture Co-op! Ellen, Josh and Brent are wonderful folks that are professional, attentive and kind. The new location is clean and cozy. Also, it is a great place to volunteer your time at! read more

Was in Tucson for a conference and stopped in and had two acupuncture treatments. Worked miracles for my sinuses and travel related headaches. Thank you so much for being here read more

I love going here! The atmosphere is very relaxed, you can decide what you pay, and you can stay as long as you need! Keeping in mind it IS a community space, it remains relatively silent while I've been there! I love the acupuncturists and feel the effects immediately! read more

I was always very skeptical about acupuncture and was very nervous the first time I came in. Josh was very attentive and the treatment was amazing. The comfortable chairs, the soothing music, the dim lighting always eases me into a sleep. Every time I walk in all the staff is very nice, and Josh even after the first time remembered my name and my complaints. This is a place I highly recommend to all my friends and family! read more

It was a great experience! I've gone to other acupuncture's and paid triple. The prices here are more then reasonable and you get the same if not better service. I met with Elyn, she was very compassionate and understanding to what I was going through. read more

As an acupuncture newbie, I just have to say that it's been surprisingly relaxing. Stay as long as I want and the practitioner is very helpful. I find the group setting informal and reassuring. Nice to have this welcoming place to feel better. read more

Very friendly, very affordable, and a great resource. I was initially hesitant about talking about medical issues in a group setting, but there is a white noise machine and low, ambient music playing the whole time. The practitioner rolls the stool up next to you and your conversation is very private. I've seen Brent and Ellen so far, and both were extremely knowledgable and attentive. It's also nice to be able to relax until you feel ready! read more

I had an elbow so painful that drinking a cup of coffee had become a two-handed experience and decided I had to do something besides taking pain killers every four hours. I happened on to this and made an appointment online; as the saying goes, the rest is history. It took a little while but Ellen was able to work that pain out, and some other issues I was pleased to find help for. I'm really amazed at how well this works for a variety of ailments including foul moods!! read more
