In 2002, Boulder Community Acupuncture was founded by Mary Saunders. She and Lisa Rohleder, from Working Class Acupuncture in Portland, started the community style acupuncture movement across the United States. They based this model off of the traditional way acupuncture is performed in China. Individuals are treated in large rooms where the practitioner moves from client to client, allowing them to treat 20-30 people at the same time; thereby making it much more affordable to the masses. Thanks to Lisa and Mary's initial desire to provide this model in the states, and their dedication of spreading the word, we can continue to offer acupuncture as a more affordable and accessible medicine.

Acupuncture for Pain and Sports Injuries Acupuncture can assist the healing of both acute and chronic injuries and pain. Treatments can decrease localized inflammation, desensitize irritated nerve endings, relax contracted muscles and reduce pain. Athletic performance can be improved by temporarily “turning on” muscles to increase their power and endurance and lactic acid levels reduced to lessen post activity soreness. Acupuncture is a beneficial pre and post surgery treatment to stimulate the healing process, increase range of motion and reduce discomfort.
