Charleston Community Acupuncture opened in September 2009 as a way to offer an alternative to the high costs of acupuncture in our community. We are a locally owned and community supported business striving to be a part of the solution to the problems in the healthcare industry. We are part of Community Acupuncture Network (CAN) and together we work to employ and encourage practitioners interested in making acupuncture available to anybody in the U.S. who is interested, regardless of means or insurance coverage.
