History

Established in 2011.

O.S.C.A opened in Union Sq., Somerville May 1^st, 2011. We treat people in a shared open space. Each person gets treatment customized to their individual needs. The atmosphere is quiet/​meditative, with many falling asleep once their needles are in. Community style acupuncture, where multiple treatments take place in one shared space, has long been the standard in Asia, and has become popular in the U.S. over the past five years. Patients appreciate the option of scheduling treatments together with their spouse, family, and friends. The sliding scale enables patients to come regularly enough to get better and stay better.

Practitioners enjoy the successful results, attributing them not only to frequency of treatment and effective distal style treatment techniques, but also to what seems to be a bonus of treating more than one person in a room.
