I've been to TCA multiple times over the past several years, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Keith has worked what can only be described as miracles on everything from tennis elbow to neck pain to anxiety and stress. Truly a wonderful place staffed by caring, knowledgeable people. read more

I have received the best care at TCA with Keith and Greg. They are both very caring and I feel that they are invested in my health especially when I'm facing an issue. I currently have a debilitating diagnosis after an ER visit this week, and after one visit to TCA with Keith today, I'm already feeling improvement. The office assistant is also SO nice and welcoming! read more

Keith is amazing- highly recommended for stress relief and pain management. Will be going back in the future.

The entire staff is incredible. You can't beat the prices, I highly recommend this over the high priced places.

I resisted going to Community Acupuncture because I wasn't pleased with my one previous experience getting acupuncture in a group setting. But I really needed a treatment, my regular acupuncturist was ill and unable to see clients, and I decided to try it. I don't love being in a room with up to ten other people while I get a treatment, but the trade-off is the price. It's so affordable. The practitioners are very skilled, and you can get an excellent treatment for a fraction of what it would cost elsewhere. It's a great way to try acupuncture and see if you like it. And yes, you have to wear a mask, even in 2025. Covid is not the only illness to worry about. It's another trade-off. There are worse things that having some confidence a treatment for your health won't make you ill. read more

Masks required to enter and throughout session on a January 2023 visit? Left without receiving treatment. No thank you!

I love coming to TCA. I explored acupuncture as a means to manage some ongoing pain & anxiety, and for me, it has been incredibly beneficial. 45-minutes to an hour, just for me to relax in a warm comfy recliner, listen to soothing music, and do something nice for myself - worth it. The needles themselves are small and gentle (most of them I barely feel), and Melissa has been so kind and easy to work with; I feel very comfortable with her. The feeling the treatment provides is different for everyone, I'm sure - but for me, it is equal parts relaxing as it is invigorating. And because TCA is so affordable, I can see me using acupuncture for a while to come. I would highly recommend TCA to friends and family, and I've already got my next appointment on the books. Pro Tip: Online scheduling makes it SO easy to make and rearrange appointments! read more

I've been here about a dozen times and I love it. I recommend Keith or Larry who seem the most popular. I was able to have a private conversation with them to discuss my personal issues and ask questions about the treatment. It's a community setting so you're most likely to be sitting with many others. Considering you're being poked with lots of needles, it's really very relaxing! The chairs are comfy and the music soothing and most folks fall asleep. I can only afford $15 and am excited I can get the treatments for this price. I did have some pain with a needle that was put in my hand. It hurt for days after. But I told them when I went back and it didn't happen again. I found relief from neck pain, hot flashes, migraines and allergies. The relief is temporary overall. I still suffer from these complaints, but not as often. My elderly mother has joined me and found relief for her arthritis pain. That also was temporary. She ended up having surgery, but she also enjoyed her acupuncture treatments. We both continue to go back to Tucson Community Acupuncture read more

I really like working with Keith...he appears to be very caring and kindly ask how things are going. I just moved from Seattle and was going to a private insurance acupuncturist for 2 years...rarely did she show the concern that Keith has given in my two month treatment. I really enjoy bringing my own self meditated music or listening to their soft music. Thank you TCA! Jocelyn read more

This place is great. Have had a chronic shoulder pain for 6 months and a not in my neck for years. Three sessions and my shoulder doesn't hurt. Amazing actually. Neck has more rotation too. I'm sold. Going back for a couple more sessions to try and seal the deal w these issues and I'll bet I'm good for a spell. The bill for one session is less than my co-pay. Take that big Med-Pharma. read more

This is such a wonderful place of healing. I was already familiar with acupuncture when i visited for the first time. I wasn't sure how i would like having others treated in the same large room, but now find myself appreciating it! The price is right for a drop in session, and I'm able to go as often as i need to. I've worked with Keith, Brent, C, and Melissa, and each has their own style - i like them all! Each has a calming and open energy, they are authentic and want to help you on your path. Highly recommend this place! read more

Yesterday, I paid to have somebody put needles in my skin. And I loved it. While skeptical at first to attempt acupuncture for the first time, I figured it hasn't survived thousands of years of Chinese history for nothing...so I booked an appointment at Tucson Community Acupuncture. I love places that have easy booking, and you can schedule your appointments online at their website. My acupuncturist, Josh, took the time to listen to my health concerns, and after picking out a comfy recliner to sit in, he started to put the needles. I couldn't feel any of them being put in except for the one in one sinus area (I was there to help fight a sinus infection.) Even then, no biggie. Then they cover you with a blanket if you choose, and you...relax for 45 min. When is the last time you just relaxed without texting/talking/watching tv? Overall, it was an interesting feeling which felt like little tingles in parts of my body, then almost a wave of relaxation. There is a reason why some people snore during this, hehe...it works. The prices are unbelievable...you truly pay what you can afford. The best way I can sum up how much I enjoyed this experience? I'm going again tomorrow. read more

Awesome place! Awesome people! My lifetime place! Wish I had known about this sooner. But my journey is for it to happen now! Do it if you can, what a beautiful thing to discover. read more

Acupuncture virgin! This place is amazing, every employee was so down to earth, caring and completely understood pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 years ago and don't use pain medications or medicine for the chronic pain due to bad side effects with medications. In all the books I read acupuncture has been used for centuries to relieve painful ailments. I booked my appointment with Michele Smith, she was very professional, caring and gentle. My appointment was 30 dollars total and that's with the 1st time visitors fee ($10). The entire session lasted 1 hour. I highly recommend checking them out, they are located right next to laffs comedy club. Tucson Community Acupuncture takes walk-ins, appointments, you can even make them on their website!!! LOVE read more

I have a brain injury where I get terrible migraines, along with neck & back pain. I can't take pain pills or the other medications. I got desperate when I moved here, because I had bad luck with a few chiropractors. I found TCA and wish I had tried this years ago. Even though I still have the migraines (which is no fault of theirs) my neck and back feel so much better. I see Keith and he is a very understanding & kind person. Every time I go, I fall asleep, which I never do during the day. Nice to have a little afternoon nap & wake up feeling so much better! read more

Oh my stars am I happy I stumbled upon this place. My friend found a flyer advertising a 5 hour window of free treatments so we stopped by today. I was so impressed, we got a full 40 minute service despite the place being rather packed. You are sat in a large-ish room with other guests in a comfy armchair, and after the needles are in place are left to relax for about half an hour. I must say being treated in a room with lots of other people seemed odd at first, but the other guests were mostly considerate and quiet and I could relax fully. Larry was my acupuncturist and made me feel completely at ease about my first time, I'm hooked and will return. read more

I am a regular community acupuncture visitor in Phoenix. I was in Tucson last weekend and woke up on Saturday with the feeling that my vertigo was returning. I drove down to this place, and although they were booked almost solid, they found a place for me. The front office girl was kind and compassionate and Jamie treated me with the same care. I woke up on Sunday with my symptoms completely gone! If you need relief, for any ailment, do take the time to visit Tucson Community Acupuncture. The results will leave you wanting more... I have no doubt! read more

Excellent place. Highly recommend. Relaxed and easygoing and not at all money gouging shysters like so many in tbe business, like that Chinese accupunture "doctor" with the little office i went to. read more

I have visited many different acupuncture clinics over the years. Tuscon Community Acupuncture ranks among my favorites! While in Tuscon for a conference, I received a treatment at TCA. What an oasis this place is! My acupuncturist, Keith, was very gentle with the needles. Although he was absolutely amazing, I saw many blissed out patients being treated by the other practitioners there as well. The room was so peaceful, I fell asleep for two glorious hours and my stiff neck released. Trust me. You will LOVE this place. read more

My husband went to TCC, for the first time, and loved it. He recommend my brother (stroke survivor) & i try it. We did and now we go every week. I've been there three times now and I feel great afterwards. It's helped me in so many ways. My brother has health issues and the acupuncture has helped him, as well. We all see Melissa, who is the BEST!!!! I recommend her to everyone. KUDOS to Melissa for being wonderful at what she does. Thank you! Enjoy your day and try it out. At least once.... jessie m read more

I have to sadly give these folks a three stars. I was going there for years, and tried to get other people who were experiencing pain to try it out. Finally my wife and I went, and when I left, I felt quite a bit of tenderness in my right hand. Sometimes that happens because the spot is blocked, and when it is opened and the chi flows, it can be a bit painful. So I was patient. . By the next day when I woke up to go TO WORK......my hand was black and blue, swollen, and I could barely move it. Yeah, that was it for this place. Next leg of the journey........I will find some one else. That was CRAZY painful (although I do admit I have slept for three hours in their amazing comfy chairs as I was being treated. Sleep, is a fleeting ghost for me......so I enjoyed it. read more

If you go here, just go see Britta. She'll take care of you. I guarantee you'll have a good, painless experience. I exclusively see her, so I can't speak for anyone else. I'm not a big believer in acupuncture and its ability to cure physical ailments, but I decided to try it once just to see. What it DOES do for sure is totally chill me out. It's super relaxing. Although you're in a communal room, you get a big comfy chair, zen music, and a cool vibe to just fall asleep or meditate. Britta is also a very calming person to be around, and she actually cares about your well-being. Very kind person. I should also mention that everything is sterile and she opens the needles in front of you, so I was comfortable with that. I always leave with such a sense of calm. So, am I willing to stick unnecessary needles in my skin just to chill out? Yes, yes I am. read more

It's fast-food acupucture. You get what you pay for--very little individualized service. I notice how they tend to put the needles in the same spots for each patient(this way they can remember where the needles are when it's time to remove them). Did not have a good experience with rude Keith. AND THEY KEPT PLAYING THE SAME MUSIC MONTH AFTER MONTH--IT DROVE ME NUTS!! I do give them credit for offering discount packages and having a table for people who want treatment for low back pain. Central location is nice read more

For $15 you can sit in a quiet comfortable room in a lounge chair with up to 15 other people being treated in this ancient form of medicine. I really like Melissa the best of all the practitioners . She is so caring and calm. They also carry a reasonable line of homemade ointments and teas for very low prices that seem to work. read more

I gave this review 3 stars, because I had one 5 star visit and one 1 star visit - so this is the average. On May 3, 2013, I had an appointment to see Britta. It was an enjoyable and relaxing experience. She talked to me, took her time telling me what she was doing, check on me periodically during relaxation and then as soon as my relaxation time was up in 45 minutes, she immediately came over and removed the needles. The following week I felt better than I have in years. No anxiety, my blood pressure was reduced to below normal and I didn't have a single hot flash all week long. Britta helped me with all of the things I had listed on my first-time patient form and I was a happy camper. However on May 10, 2013, I had an appointment with Michele and it was a different story. I left the building in tears. While Michele was very kind, she seemed quite rushed when dealing one-on-one with me - which probably took a total of one minute. The whole time I was there, Michele was busy and I was in pain. Since it was only my second time going to acupuncture, I was unaware that I should not have been in pain. Even though I had no pain the first time I came there the prior week, I really was unsure if the pain that I was experiencing was part of the experience or not. And Michele never checked on me in order for me to say anything about my concerns. In fact, I never saw her check on anyone. It was like an acupuncture factory. Since I was unable to relax, due to the pain, I saw that I was not alone. Michele took approximately one minute with each patient, then went to the next one - it was constant. She had no time to talk to people, check on them, make sure that they were comfortable. Not a second. It was slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am quite literally, as those needles felt slammed into me in the rush. And at the end when my relaxation hour was up? No Michele in sight. I had to wait an additional 15 minutes to get those painful needles out. I am sure that Michele is an excellent technician, but today my experience was not pleasant. I left in tears and had a small residue of blood from the needle where one of my locations had been in pain. I rescheduled for next week with Britta, but I would not have done that if my experience with her had been similar to the one I had today. Also, during my May 3rd appointment, I saw the blankets being changed. This time? Not once. I saw one person after another laying on the same blanket the previous person had laid on. That seems quite unhealthy according to health department standards for a medical facility. I do intend to make an inquiry about that to see if I am incorrect in my thinking. read more

This was my first accupuncture experience. I came for severe back pain and neuropathy in my left leg. Like everyone i was afraid of the needles. Well dont waste your time worrying..no pain, i mean none. The room is low light, comfortable recliners, blankets if you would like, soft music and ear plugs if you would like. Intake was thorough, profession experience ( i am a nurse i know thorough). Wonderful, good explanation of suggested treatment plan. Prices are terrific. But the best part..i was able to walk up my stairs when i came home..without pain! First time since i was injured at work jan of 2015!! Wish i had tried this earlier! read more

I strongly and enthusiastically recommend this place. I have had acupuncture from a variety of practicioners/places and this is among one of the nicest settings I have been to. Appointments are available at a great range of times, and the setting is very relaxing and friendly. You can make appointments with specific practicioners - I have been having appointments with Josh W and have found him kind, easy-going, and very thoughtful & responsive to the issues that brought me in. I have been very happy with my treatments. read more

Angels! Keith was great. Put in needles in lots of great points where I need them and even tucked me in with a blanket!! Super sweet extra bit of attention. I love community acupuncture because it's so effective, personable, and accessible to everyone. I'm from Oakland, CA and I love my community clinic there so I was sooo happy to find this place during my travels when I was so very sick and in pain. Nothing else is working but this is making a huge difference. For those new to acupuncture give it a few tries and let your body get used to responding to the needles. Now that I've been doing it for years it's my favorite form of self-care and health-care. I'll be back tomorrow! read more

This place is heaven sent. I suffer from horrible migraines, and pain in my left knee, not to mention I have vasal vagal syndrome too. The staff here is gentle, tender and so compassionate and professional. In the four times I have gone I have only had one minor headache and my knee pain is virtually gone. I'm a believer, and I will continue to visit. read more

As a total skeptic, I was nervous my first time here. The first time you go it's $25-35 and at that price, I figured it was worth trying. It was a little freaky watching needles being put into your skin in strange places, but once I got over that, the acupuncturist Josh tells me to "sit and relax for 40 min." 40 MIN?! I wasn't quite sure if I was going to make it, just sitting still in a dim room full of recliners with several others doing the same. However, I toughed it out and I'm glad I did, because I felt more relaxed, albeit kinda sleepy, than I had in a very long time. I'll be back! read more

This was my first acupuncture experience but the kind practitioners and surroundings here made me feel relaxed and at home. I like that the waiting area and the community treatment space are not overly decorated like a spa nor cold and institutional like a doctors office, just clean, comfortable, and practical. They say acupuncture is something that takes repeated thoughtful treatments to achieve a lasting change or benefit, so I can't comment on overall effectiveness yet, but my one-time experience was definitely therapeutic. I felt a variety of sensations including muscles twitching and releasing after a needle was placed in tense spots and an overall subtle of feeling of relaxation; my friend said it made him overwhelmingly sleepy but rejuvenated after. Keith very warmly and clearly talked me through what issues I was looking to treat and offered suggestions and explanations, and helpfully walked me through my treatment from where to put my belongings to what the needle might feel like to when he would be back to check on me. I especially love that Tucson Community Acupuncture has a sliding scale so this type of care is accessible to more people and encourages multiple visits so you can get the full benefit. read more

This place is great. You can get a quick treatment and not pay a lot. The large room and music is very relaxing.

wonderful practitioners , wonderful space, a great place to heal .

I wholeheartedly recommend Tucson Community Acupuncture to anyone who has even a mild interest in acupuncture. The staff are awesome and I love the concept: the idea is to offer acupuncture at a low cost (there's a sliding scale starting at $15) in a community setting. You stay clothed--everything is done in the head, arms/hands, and lower legs/feet-- and sit in a room with up to maybe a dozen people, all in well-spaced recliners. Everybody gets individualized attention from the acupuncturists and then are left alone; the lights are low enough and the chairs far enough apart that you don't feel as though you're in a fishbowl. The energy is nonetheless enhanced by the other people in the room. It's a very mellow, positive environment. If you're new to acupuncture, this would be a particularly great place to start, both because of the low cost and the completely non-clinical feel of the place. You can schedule online or over the phone. Check it out and support a community-centered local business! read more

I have never felt more comfortable doing this as an alternative method to chronic pain from previous injuries. I convinced my boyfriend to come with me, and being the sceptic he is, it took convincing until one night I brought it up again, and told him about the reviews on this place, plus evidence it works from testimonies from coworkers. He has sport injuries that just can't be healed because he never went to a doctor about it in the first place (his parents only did doc visits if it was a dead or dying situation). After feeling his shoulder/trap muscle pain getting worse, relenting, he caved. It's only been two visits and he feels better. There's a lot more work to go because of a decade of ignoring his body, but he's already found instant results, and so have I. Keith has made it a wonderful experience for us and I don't mind the needles at all, prior to coming here. We don't make much, but because of the awesome staff, VERY harmonious environment, and the affordability, they will be seeing us indefinitely. I highly recommend TCA. read more

Wonderful and amazing! The practitioners and staff operate with skill,compassion and professionalism that is hard to find in many clinics these days... from beginning to end a wonderful experience. read more

Larry is my acupuncturist. He is top notch. The other day I visited with a twitching nerve. He asked probing questions and because of my comfort level, I offered a detailed explanation. In return, Larry worked his magic. Larry then showed me on the skeletal model the areas he had addressed. By the next day the twitch was gone. Accupuncture is an amazing Science and Larry has the just the right mixture of professionalism, warmth and energy coupled with deep expertise and obvious passion for his work. I am sure all of the other practitioners are also marvelous, but from my persepctive Larry is a Rock Star! And as for the facility, I love the concept so much I bought a recliner for my home! read more

I can't say enough good about this place! I had never had acupuncture before and was a complete skeptic and really concerned about having needles stuck in me. After going the first time on a free student special I felt more relaxed than I can ever remember. Josh was so good at asking questions and making sure I was comfortable. The whole thing was painless (to my surprise). I went back again a couple of months later in desperation after I caught a really bad upper respiratory infection that antibiotics weren't helping and was about to go into bronchitis. Josh once again came to my rescue. By the end of the session my sinuses had cleared up and by that evening I was almost completely better - it was nothing short of amazing. Have since brought my Mom and sister and they had great results as well. I love this place and highly recommend it - you certainly can't beat the price or the care! read more

After having terrible back pain following back surgery and then being rear ended by a truck, I began going to Tucson Community Acupuncture. Keith has been my acupuncturist and he is a treasure. He did everything possible to help alleviate my pain. When I needed to go every other day to control the pain, Keith worked with me on the cost, which was a blessing. I have also had most of the other acupuncturists work on me when Keith was gone and they were all wonderful also. I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful, gentle, caring place this is. We are so fortunate to have them in our community. read more
