What is community acupuncture
Community acupuncture makes treatment affordable by treating patients together in a shared space. At OSCA we have a $30-$60 sliding scale per treatment, you choose what price works for you; no questions asked. Each person gets individualized treatment addressing their specific needs. The atmosphere is quiet/meditative, with many falling asleep once their needles are in.
Why community
OSCA is a member of the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture (POCA) and you can join too! Membership fee: $25/year. We appreciate your support and offer community members $20 treatments the months of May and October, & more!

Join The People's Organization of community acupuncture
(POCA) is a member-run non-profit organization whose mission is to work cooperatively to increase accessibility to and availability of affordable group acupuncture treatments. We envision a world in which every community has access to local, affordable acupuncture to reduce collective and individual suffering and to nurture resilience.
We acknowledge the debt we owe, as community acupuncturists, to the Young Lords and the Black Panthers, two groups challenging racism and oppression in the 1970’s who fought to bring affordable group acupuncture into their communities to address the scourge of addiction.
