Group Acupuncture
Walk-ins only, no appointments.
Thanks to community support and through annual members, CSAcu is able to offer group acupuncture in Louisville every Friday as

for everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.
Treatments on this day are done in a group setting, and is on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are no appointments taken.

Help Community Supported Acupuncture to serve more people
The Mission – Making Wellness Accessible
At CSAcu, our belief – that an individual’s health and well-being is connected to that of their community – is more than just idealism, it is deeply integrated into our business model. Accessibility, affordability, and appropriate care are the cornerstones of the organization. CSAcu offers sliding-scale private acupuncture treatments and, one day each week, offers group acupuncture entirely free. By paying for services or donating to CSAcu, our patients and supporters are directly contributing to others’ ability to access services, regardless of financial means. In 2015, we provided over 600 treatments for no charge. In 2016 the number of free treatments nearly doubled. Already in 2017 we’ve offered nearly 600 free treatments in the first 6 months. We’ve also been able to offer affordable tai chi, yoga, and meditation classes.
Our Needs – Help us Fill the Gap
We make wellness services available at below market rates – filling an important gap in access to care – but we rely on donations to fill the gap in our sliding scale. By the numbers, it takes $60 per treatment to sustain the services we offer. Because we offer services for no cost and reduced cost, we receive an average of only $28 per treatment.
$32 – Fills the gap in the sliding scale for one treatment
$60 – Allows for 1 fully free acupuncture treatment on a free Friday
$150 – Helps keep our doors open for a free Friday clinic
$600 – Allows 4 Fridays to continue to be free or donation based
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.
After years of struggling with my health I am on the road to recovery. Dr Mateo was a godsend for me. He made me feel comfortable, is knowledgeable, caring, thorough and sincere! I have nothing negative to say and highly recommend him!
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.
