I’ve been going here for two weeks and I love it! Joselo is really nice and the acupuncture has been very relaxing and helped with back pain, digestive issues and stress.

I’m going to little bird acupuncture tomorrow – another community acupuncture practice near 16th + Columbia. They’re not taking any new patients so it’s great to see another one open. The deal with community acupuncture is that, instead of being in a room alone, you’re with others in large room. Everyone’s in a comfy chair sleeping or zoning out on their ipods. It’s cheaper for the patient and more profitable for the practitioner.

I’ve used acupuncture successfully for various ailments – bruised tailbone, digestive stuff, back pain, stress, healing after knee surgery and others. Works great for me.

Acupuncture is about you healing yourself, as opposed to a pill or a procedure healing you. Certainly the placebo effect is big with acupuncture, but who cares? Great article on that in a recent New Yorker.

My friend does acupuncture for lower back and foot pain, and he swears by it. His job entails him being on his feet for extended amounts of time.

I used to get acupuncture in my teens for dealing with depression and anxiety. I found it very helpful! not painless, though; the needles themselves don’t hurt, but when they wiggle them around in your trigger points, you get a really unpleasant sensation….almost like something’s jarring your nerves. The feeling afterwards is marvelous, though.

I’ve been going here for 2 weeks. Fantastic place. City Acupuncture has tables, whereas the AdMo place just has chairs – from what I’ve heard this makes a big difference. JoseLo is great! Get in while you can.
