Alpha-gal Syndrome: Why Can’t I Eat Meat

Interview with Mateo Bernal, OMD/DOM, LAc, and Martin Huecker, MD, discuss alpha-gal syndrome.

We’re excited to announce the launch of Dr. Mateo Bernal’s groundbreaking new book:
Beyond the Bite: Understanding Alpha-Gal Syndrome — From Symptoms to Solutions in the Allergy Triggered by Ticks
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is one of the most misunderstood conditions in today’s medical world—often leaving patients feeling lost and unheard. Dr. Bernal shines a light on this complex syndrome, offering clarity, compassion, and practical guidance.

Community Supported Acupuncture has gone through so much growth in the past few years, with new staff and providers, and a brand new location in the heart of the city

Beginning Jan 1, 2025 we will be introducing some changes in pricing. We have not raised our rates in almost 8 years! The sliding scale philosophy remains: you have control over how you budget – you can pay what you are able in order to receive the number of acupuncture treatments that will help your unique health concern. The sliding-scale allows all of us to be able to contribute to our community’s health, and those that are able to pay at the higher end of the scale generously allow for folks to benefit from our free group treatments. I hope this warms your heart as much as it does ours :)

First-time acupuncture visits will be $75-$150. Follow-up acupuncture will be $60-$125, and we are also offering a special package of 4 treatments for $200! As always, every Friday we continue to offer free (donations accepted but not required or expected).

We all look forward to serving you in the new year!
Warmest wishes,
Mateo, Julie, Juliana, Rita, Jordyn, and Mittens

Affordable Acupuncture, Quality Care

CSAcu – Community Supported Acupuncture operates on a sliding scale of $60-$125, pay what you can.

A unique clinic offering gentle, effective, Japanese-style affordable acupuncture and every friday donation based group acupuncture.

The reduced price at the clinic does not reflect the quality of care you will receive. Mateo believes that each person deserves his absolute best, while also being able to afford treatments. The CSAcu model aims at striking that balance between personal, compassionate, quality care with affordability. His experience working in overworked public clinics as well as in private, individual settings has led him to develop this unique approach.

Healthy Individuals =
Healthy Community

Access to affordable acupuncture, health care is crucial to helping a community thrive.  We observe that too often in our society, healthy activities like eating healthy local produce, as well as health care, come at a price inaccessible to everyday people.  Like the agriculture model, Community Supported Acupuncture of Louisville  allows more people to be able to afford healthy activities.

DONATION-ONLY DAYS
EVERY FRIDAY 10AM – 1PM

IMPORTANT!
Pencil Pencil

Group Acupuncture on Fridays is NOT for SAAT treatment!

Community support allows the clinic to be open for anyone, regardless of their ability to pay.

Dr. Mateo has changed my life. I've had alpha gal disease for 5 years with many complications because of it. I was not eating very much everything made me sick. After treatment with Dr Mateo I can eat anything I want. He is truly an answered pray for me. I continue treatment to get even better results.I highly recommend this treatment for anyone with alpha gal disease.

I have been going to Mateo for quite awhile and he continues to provide excellent treatment and insight at every appointment. He is extremely kind and caring and one of the most knowledgeable practitioners I've ever met. Acupuncture has been a key part of my health journey and healing and I am quite grateful for Mateo and his clinic.

Mateo is so wonderful. He has helped heal my mold allergies, gluten allergies, all autoimmunity and MCAS. His level of intelligence and knowledge is above par compared to other Accupuncture around us. He is constantly increasing his knowledge and level of skill in all areas. He has so much compassion, empathy and intuition in what he does. He truly cares about his patients and genuinely wants to see you heal. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, if you have health conditions you can’t get to the bottom of, please go see them!
I had actually came here to see what I had written about their review and found out I never have reviewed CSAcu.
Its crazy because I've been going here for years. 90% of the time I'm having injuries treated, I've also have had Thyroid treatment. Mateo is caring, Mateo is thoughtful, and probably most important, he listens.
I have been in and out of his office for years and he has always treated me with respect and more importantly and individual and an equal. Mateo provides a comfortable, safe environment for you to feel at ease with your treatment. I was definitely worried about the needles, but with Mateos expertise, he show and explains the procedure to you and demonstrates in a way that puts me(and hopefully you too) at ease.
CSAcu is an essential supplement to you everyday wellbeing. I can't recommend him enough.
