Honoring the Brookline Community Acupuncture Legacy

For more than 35 years, Brookline Community Acupuncture served as a healing home for thousands of neighbors seeking accessible, compassionate care. Built on founder Richard Mandell’s belief that acupuncture should be available to everyone, BCA helped redefine what community-based medicine could look like in Brookline.

Today, that mission lives on at AcuBoston BCA.

We proudly preserve the spirit of BCA’s community-style acupuncture model. Treatments are still offered in a calm, shared setting with flexible pricing designed to support frequent care, as consistent treatments create the most powerful and lasting results. We invite you to experience the next chapter of this beloved space. At AcuBoston BCA, the heart of Brookline Community Acupuncture lives on through compassionate practitioners, accessible care, and a deep respect for the community that made it all possible.
