Beautiful space and amazing practitioners. I previously spent a fortune on individual sessions in Manhattan for fertility related acupuncture treatments. I switched to see Brittany at BAP for almost weekly treatments while I was trying to get pregnant and continued throughout the pregnancy. I now have a 5 month old and will always be grateful to her and BAP. She is a miracle worker! Her calmness, encouragement and intuitiveness helped me persevere through a challenging time. I'm forever grateful to Brittany and also highly highly recommend Sarah Chase and Jonathan Edwards. More...

I've been coming to BAP for at least 4 years now. I regularly see Brittany Griffin. BAP is great at keeping notes on their clients here, so even if you take a little break and then come back they will be able to recall/look up your history. The location is very accesible by train and the space is very relaxing, safe and calm.I will keep coming back here as long as I am in Brooklyn. The relaxing atmosphere and expertise of their practitioners is spectacular. I love supporting this community oriented endeavour. They have a sliding scale based pay rate, which is very reasonable and allows you to choose how much you can afford to pay. Appointments are sometimes combinations of acupuncture, cupping and herbal prescriptions, and any other services they offer. It's a communal space, but they do ensure a reasonable amount of privacy, although you will receive acupuncture in one of rooms with other people also receiving treatment nearby.   This has ever bothered me, as there always seems to be enough space and I kinda like that everyone is getting their relax on together.Overall a great place to go!

My acupuncturist is an angel. As she held my wrists to just assess what was going on with me physically and even emotionally I felt a shift. The funny thing is she told me she felt it before I said anything. Her hands alone were calming and healing. Now that's wonderful and amazing. She then proceeded with the acupuncture. Her face, voice, energy, demeanor...she's just a beautiful soul and I know she wants to help me. I'd make her my best friend if I could :-) After my session I felt so energized and refreshed that I walked home; all 30 blocks! I'm back today for my second session and have booked several more in advance. Consistency is important and I want to try to maintain that. Oh, and the sliding scale is truly a blessing. More...

The vibe is cozy and relaxed, with soft music in the background, light incense burning and a harmonious and soothing vibe enveloping the space. I always fall asleep during treatment because it's such a cozy, quiet place. Sarah is my primary acupuncturist here and she is wonderful. She is gentle and sensitive and always asks how my week or day was while she takes my pulse and reads my tongue. I can tell that she enjoys her work and believes in what she does which goes a long way for me and my treatment. She also gives me some nutritional advice from time to time which I appreciate since I am always trying to make the healthiest decisions for my body and welcome learning new holistic ways to take care of myself.

I came here several times after my herniated disk.  My first experience with acupuncture ever was with Sarah Chase (the founder apparently) and she was the best.  Gave me a relaxing quick oil massage after (which I believe is typically extra).  Afterwards, it was difficult to get an appointment with her due to my schedule (and now she's in Ecuador giving treatment to others).  She's the best.  Sometimes you meet new human beings and you can just tell what type of people they are by the warmth in their eyes.Afterwards, I saw Rachel and the experience was just... ok.  First time I felt something was lit on fire on my back.  Melissa had also treated me as well and so did Po-Hong.  Out of the three, I think Po-Hong suits me best as the amount of penetration? seemed to be just right.  If the needle is too far in, there's extreme twitching/ pain.

My husband woke up this morning with such terrible back ache he could barely get out of bed. I've been asking him to try acupuncture for a while but as most stubborn men he refused until this morning when he realized he had nothing to lose. The moment I got him to agree I ran to yelp for a suggestion and found BAP. I was afraid I would not be able to get same day service but the employee at BAP was very helpful and worked something out with us. We rushed there and it was a pleasant experience from the beginning. Parking was a breeze, the entrance to the building is beautiful, and the moment the elevator door opens at BAP you are greeted with a lovely aroma of incense and helpful staff. My husband and I thought the sliding scale is awesome and allows people with different  budgets to pay diffident amounts. My husband says he feels no different but said he'll go again if he finds the time. I'm a believer in acupuncture but I'm not sure I convinced him. I hope by tomorrow he feels somewhat better and we can bump that 4 stars to 5.

If u make 50,000, you pay 42.  Treatments are approximately 45 minutes.  All the acupuncturists are unbelievably competent with amazing bed side matter.  I'll be going there as often as my paycheck allows!

Acupuncture saved my life.I had a debilitating chronic neck pain for close to 4 years- I thought I had tried everything in terms of detecting the problem and a cure (MRIs, CAT scans, steroid injections, physical therapy, massage to name a few) but to no avail.  I was literally at my wit's end when a close friend mentioned BAP to me in passing and said it had helped her with back pain.  The next day I scheduled an appointment.  I was told treatment (and therefore results) were cumulative so I'd need to be consistent (at least at first) with my visits and patient with the results.  I started off by going 2-3 times a week.  As I gained relief (for the first time in years) I would go once a week, then every other.  I have now been pain free for over a year.I still make regular appointments because of how great I feel every time I finish a session- relaxed, refreshed and calm.  I have seen several practitioners, all of whom have been wonderful, kind and really listen to your needs.  Thank you will never be enough.

"It sounds cool, but I hate the idea of having needles stuck all over me." This is generally what I hear from friends who've never tried acupuncture before. And I get it; I was once one of them. I hate needles myself. They're painful and scary. However, when you've got ailments that make pinpricks look like, well, just pinpricks, acupuncture starts to make sense. Migraines first drove me into the arms of an Eastern medicine man in South Korea a few years ago, when the mysterious medications prescribed to me by the local Western clinician seemed too iffy and strong. Some crazy cupping bruises ensued, but the headaches vanished, along with the knots in my neck that were causing the problem. I remembered this magic trick recently, when a spate of back and knee pains pulled me out of my yoga-and-running routine. Yelp revealed that a sliding-scale acupuncture center lay just around the corner from my new NYC apartment, so I immediately made plans to submit my posterior for pincushioning. And I'm glad I did. The folks at this Gowanus gem fixed me up good, for an affordable price. When you first visit the BAP, you'll come in through the unassuming doorway, head upstairs in the elevator, and check in at the front desk. (I recommend making an appointment online first.) You're asked to pay based on your income level, then ushered into the low-lit, relaxing back room for your session, which might last an hour or two depending on what you need. The folks here get right to work, assessing your problem areas and pushing small pins into the offending tissue. After that, they'll cover you up with a heat blanket and let the needles do their work. Sometimes it hurts a bit at first, but soon, you'll find your tense muscles relaxing, in way that they won't even with a good bubble bath or massage. In fact, perhaps thanks to the peaceful music playing and the warm, welcoming atmosphere, I've seen plenty of folks fall asleep after the pins go in. After the pins come out, your acupuncturist might recommend cupping to move the blood around in your tissues, as a masseuse might with his/her hands, which means that a suction cup about an inch across is dragged over the offending area. Don't be scurred. Though you WILL look like you were mauled by a rabid octopus afterwards, you may well find that your back pain, shoulder pain or headaches are gone. Well worth it, in my book. As with a massage or physical therapy, the effects of acupuncture don't last forever. You kinda have to keep up with it, and obviously, if you've got chronic pain issues, you might need more serious help. But unlike strong meds that simply cover up the pain, acupuncture actually gets to the root of the problem, which is in and of itself a therapeutic thought for me. One that makes all that weird needle shi*t worthwhile. I definitely plan to go back, again and again, and feel so grateful that this affordable, community-minded organization exists in my 'hood!

Affordable, flexible, effective health care!I'm young and was told by two GP's, an orthopedic doctor, a chiropractor, two PTs (with X Rays and MRI's) that nothing was actually wrong with my back and that I was too young to have back pain. Except that I had terrible, constant pain- that would interrupt my sleep, that would force me off my chair at work so I could lie on the floor.I came to BAP as a last ditch effort to cure my pain, et voila! During my first appt I explained that I was nervous about acupuncture, but I didn't know what else to do. The person who first treated me was very patient and understanding. At first I went twice a week for treatment. Eventually I came once a week. Now I go every couple of months. I can sit here now and say I HAVE NO PAIN which is incredible and something I didn't think would ever happen. Life changing.Its everything you want from GP, a one stop shop. I can go in for a cold and they will help me recover faster. I can go in for back pain maintenance, but they can also treat my thumb which I jammed last week playing sports. I'm currently in the midst of this terrible skin thing, which has nothing to do with my initial back pain, but they are helping me all the same.There is a rotating cast of acupuncturists which is great- you get to try out different approaches. One of them can do something super relaxing which will leave me feeling energized, another will take a more aggressive route which may not have been as relaxing but the effects are, as I said before, life changing. Needling is totally nothing to be scared of-- it can sometimes prick a bit, or be a little strange feeling but it usually fades after a few seconds. I often fall asleep once they are done. Depending on the placement, sometimes it will feel really strange or be sore if you try to move a muscle where there is a needle hanging out. And sometimes you won't notice. They are as thin as a few strands of hair. There is no blood. They are nothing like shots.Go! Go a few times! Get your life changed! More...

Change my life, why don't you, BAP? Good lord. I had never had acupuncture before I went to Brooklyn Acupuncture Project. My mom, aunt, and cousin all claim that acupuncture has helped them with various ailments - most significantly, my mom had some pretty serious carpal tunnel in her wrist that her job had paid for her to get physical therapy to help - but nothing helped more than acupuncture, which literally obliterated the problem . Like most of the other reviewers, I never considered this treatment because it is usually very expensive and I don't have insurance - yay America! :P - and also because having had many, many spinal taps in my life, I have had quite enough of needles, thank you. Or so I thought. When my cousin found BAP, there was really no excuse anymore. We all know I can suck it up for some major stabbing in my lumbar 4 and 5 (hey, I only cried the time they missed and hit my vertibrae!), and with the amazing sliding scale, this is an entirely afforable treatment. Also, after seeking Wesatern medical treatment *multiple times* for my heel fracture when I had school health insurance, and being told *multiple times* that I should just take ibuprofin.. and the pain got worse and worse... well, clearly it was time for acupuncture. I cannot speak highly enough about BAP. Aside from the fact that each treatment only costs me $18, the environment is soothing and comfortable, the staff professional, and the location convenient. I have had my appointments with Michael, who is gentle and sweet, and very attentive. He even emailed me a list of herbs I should buy to soak my heel  in to help with the recovery process. It was incredibly gratifying when, upon telling him the story about my heel fracture, he shook his head and looked geuinely upset, on my behalf, at my Western practioner. The first treatment helped a lot. Acupuncture doesn't exactly hurt, but it's sometimes uncomfortable. You sort of can't really move once the needles are inserted - and the one in my knee on the leg of my foot with the fracture was particularly uncomfortable. I'm trying to be as accurate as possible here - like when people ask me if getting tattooed hurts (it doesn't it's just uncomfortable) - acupuncture can be a little uncomfortable, but it has never hurt me. And the results are definitely worth it. After you get punctured, you sit in a calming room with exposed brick and soft lighting to have "a rest." It has never bothered me that you are with other people - in fact, I prefer it. I'm super partial to community settings, but even if you aren't, you're supposed to meditate/relax and let your qi rechannel itself anyway, so you aren't really present in the room so to speak. I really like the fact that you also get wrapped up in a tin-foil looking "cover" that makes me feel like a burrito. ;) I definitely recommend acupuncture - my pain has subsided substantially, not only in my heel but also in my shoulders, where Michael puts needles to relieve tension. It might seem strange, but it has definitely worked for me. And if you need some sort of Westernized medical explanation (which I don't, but maybe you do), Western practitioners believe that the needles stimulate nerves which release pain relieving natural chemicals. I'm so on board with the energy rechanneling though. We all know healthcare is a shitshow in this country. Brooklyn Community Acupuncture really gives me hope and makes me feel good about my health. I highly recommend Michael, but I know that all of the other practioners come highly recommended as well. Do it! More...

I can't say enough good things about BAP. I admit I was a bit skeptical at first. I never tried acupuncture and to find out that my experience would be shared with a roomful of people. .. I went in open minded, chuckled a bit at the depth of their questionnaire and found myself wanting to go to acupuncture weekly. It started off for my wrist following a yoga injury that was not healing using western medicine and after a couple of visits I really embraced the "total body/mind" mission of BAP. Even though it is in a group setting no one is looking at you. Everyone is way too involved in their own healing and meditation process to care about what's going on in your direction. I've worked with a couple of the practitioners and I think I will keep up the variety. Each one has a slightly different approach and I find that only adds to the "total body" healing process. The sliding pay scale is only another amazing part of this whole process. Healing my body and mind should not force me to sell my soul. I've only felt welcomed there, never rushed. And the online booking system could not be easier. I've already recommended this place to a bunch of friends. I'm really impressed with their professionalism and approach to holistic healing for the moderate income Brooklyn-ite. It's extremely clean and the staff is nothing but friendly and soothing in their approach. Oh, and the needles don't hurt one bit! More...

Payment for services is on an income sliding scale, appointments are easy to book, and I've never felt rushed out for the next appointment (in fact, I've been shocked at the time Sarah has let me stay on the table receiving various acupuncture, electrostatic and cupping treatments), and Sarah takes the time after the treatment to explain the methods used and how they are helping to manage my condition.
