I can't tell you how happy I am to have found Left Hand Acupuncture where I received a fabulous first-time treatment and where I can't wait to return for more! Caroline took wonderful, straight-forward, kind, effective care of me, and my aching joints and low energy were fully rejuvenated afterwards.

Sit back and relax! This was amazing, Didn't quite know what I was getting into when I went in but felt like like a gooey jello mass with no pain afterward all night! Going back next week continue this blessing. I was referred to Left Hand from a local urgent care, with low blood sugar, low energy, persistent colds, and depression.
I have used acupuncture before with temporary success but could never afford to continue with therapy more than one or two months because the cost was $90-$120 each session. Caroline talked to me about my goals for the session and placed the needles. No pain with the needles and I could decide how long to be there (you just signal her when your done or tell in advance if you need to go at a certain time).
We need you to take responsibility for your own health. Please keep yourself hydrated, especially before your treatments. Eat a healthy meal 1-2 hours before your treatment but please avoid coffee, alcohol, sugar, and greasy foods. Wear comfortable loose fitting clothing that you can roll up to your elbows and knees.

Absolutely excellent! Such a safe and health focused environment with all the masks on, everything spotless, taking your temperature and following all critical protocols. So incredible to be taken care of during trying times! Caroline does the best job of any acupuncturist! Her sincere and caring spirit is comparable to none! Thank you Caroline for taking care of me and also my family members!

My Father In Law was diabetic and had difficulty sleeping throughout the night, Caroline was able to provide him much needed relief so he could sleep soundly. Caroline and her team made him feel completely comfortable with the process and treatments, he looked forward to his visits and we’re very thankful for the relief he was finally able to find. I highly recommend reaching out to Caroline, she’s extremely passionate about her work and helping people.

I went here on the recommendation of my "DR.!! Mostly for (SEVERE) respiratory issues-- allergies,sinus,and asthma. Nothing has helped. Prescriptions works short time and stop. Tried cold laser, every supplement,tea nose rinses, salt therapy, etc. Carolyn helped me so much!! Also has helped me with- severe arthritis pain everywhere, my injured back, constant nausea, depression/PTSD. Make sure though that you TOTALLY relax. It "does" make the treatment last longer!!! I had a thumb I'd injured 4 months earlier. Couldn't open jars, turn knobs,etc. just no strength or movement, aside FROM THE pain

Left Hand Community Accupuncture is by far the best healing service I have used, since I began receiving accupuncture 20 years ago. Caroline is a kind, very precise, on point practitioner. I have done over 40 sessions with her for the last 2 years. I came to her with severe PTSD and thanks to her I am fully healed. I feel in deep gratitude with Caroline for healing me. It is also so very affordable. It is actually cheap. Even paying her the highest of her sliding scale fee is cheap because of the absolute level of healing I always receive.

Strong hippie vibe here, which I loved. I aspire to someday be able to embrace my inner zen but I'm a driven, travel all the time, high stress business woman. Due to my reality, I've messed up my shoulder something fierce. It's from dragging a huge carry on bag with me from flight after flight; I'm adamantly against checking bags.
When I made my appointment, I might have been....unrealistically....expecting a miracle. My mother is a die hard acupuncture enthusiast and when I was little, she took me in for appointments (at another place) to help me with my allergies. I still have allergies but

Caroline is so skilled and has helped me immensely in the short time I've been going to Left Hand. I had never tried community acupuncture before (just private sessions years ago), and I've been so impressed by how inviting and comfortable the space is. I actually think I enjoy the community atmosphere better than private sessions because there is a very calm sense of healing - it's worth trying!

I am so grateful for the healing power of acupuncture and the skill and compassion of Caroline at Left Hand Community Acupuncture. What a gift to the community! My stress and anxiety was off the chart until I found a calm place here. And, as an extra added bonus, I injured my wrist, to the point where I could barely move my hand the other day. I was thinking only time would heal it, but, as almost an afterthought, I mentioned it to Caroline, and the pain is completely gone. Amazing. Sliding scale too, so affordable for everyone. Never mind about the health care debate....try natural healing

Caroline and the rest of the staff are amazing! They are so helpful and kind, every single time. I have suffered with depression for years and the treatments I receive, twice a week here, have dramatically helped my condition. I also had severe pain in my feet from poor shoes being worn in the service industry. My pain is almost completely gone! I highly recommend this team to treat your pain, psychological disorder, stress, insomnia, or allergy. They KNOW what they are doing!

I've been to all 3 locations in which Left Hand has operated and I think they keep getting better. The care has always been stellar and the atmosphere always calm. But this new location is the best yet. More room. Better aesthetics. And even though it's 'community' style acupuncture, there are many options for full privacy. It's my first choice for Acupuncture in Boulder County.

I have never used or even considered acupuncture for some of the issue I have. Then I was like, it won't hurt to try it out... it's be done thousands of years with very positive results. So I found Left Hand Community Acupuncture on Google. I set up a next day appointment. The specialist I worked with was so AMAZING and kind. The atmosphere was very relaxing. I asked to be treated for two issues, so I laid down on a comfortable table, she did her thing and said we would do this for 25 minutes. She checked on me twice every five minutes. The next think I remember, she was waking me up. I felt refreshed

I absolutely love going to Left Hand Community Acupuncture! I love the team and the office, and especially Caroline's treatments. Acupuncture is such an incredibly effective technique for working with so many issues, and Caroline has worked with several of mine. From overwhelming stress to digestion to an injured knee, I feel leaving better every time. I am a big believer in prevention and maintenance, so I try to go at least 2 times a month. When I have something chronic going on, I try to go even more often to get the issue really resolved. The affordability of treatments here really

I am massage therapist I have tried acupuncture sporadically over the past few years and it has always helped me. I found a Living Social deal for Left Hand and, since they were five minutes from where I work, I decided to check them out.
I am very glad I did. From the minute you walk in and are greeted, you feel more relaxed. It's a community acupuncture place, which means there are other people getting acupuncture around you as well, but you would never know. They keep the spaces very separate and they have tables and recliners. It is in an older house, which is part of its charm, and

I am not a woo-woo person. I don't believe in psychic readings, my chakras have never been balanced, and while I enjoy herbal tea, it is not used to cleanse my system or anything. However, I have found massage to significantly help my TMJ and migraines, so I figured I needed to work on opening up my mind to other non-Western options. My first round with acupuncture, however, left me feeling meh; four sessions, no changes, and my purse was considerably lighter.
However, I saw a living social deal for this place, and as kidney issues (unexplained by doctors and have cost me over $2000 worth

Absolutely love Left Hand...Caroline is awesome! I have been wanting to do acupuncture regularly for quite some time, but simply couldn't afford the $60 a session that was the going rate in CA. Upon moving to CO, I found Left Hand, and the sliding scale has made it possible for me to go weekly, which has greatly helped the issues I attend for. I am a recovering needle-phobe, but manage to get the best sleep ever while receiving acupuncture from Caroline!
I highly recommend to anyone looking for acupuncture treatments :)

I have been to this community acupuncture clinic 3 times now and love this place. Caroline and Dennis are wonderful in what they do and they really care about their patients. Dennis also recommended Magnesium for me to help relax my muscles at night so I could sleep better, that also works great! I had no idea about that, or I would have bought and started taking magnesium a long time ago. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to do acupuncture for their ailments, or chronic pain.

I've seen Caroline and Jen about 10 times for anxiety and gall bladder issues. The practioners are efficient and intuitive. I left the first treatment feeling like a new person and I've continued to feel a steady improvement in my health and well-being. A sliding scale makes acupuncture affordable instead of a luxury. Highly recommended.

I have had acupuncture by both of the wonderful ladies at this location. They are patient and kind, and I seemed to get relief the same day for various issues. The sliding scale for payment if really nice, especially because I'm in school. I recommend anyone to go there, especially people who may feel a little apprehension in trying it. Also an aesthetic working environment.

I am new to acupuncture, but my treatments here have been so helpful that I have continued to return regularly for maintenance and also for occasional other issues (insomnia, colds, etc.). The community room where the treatments take place is a high-ceilinged room with recliners--definitely more comfortable and inviting than most medical practices! My treatments have been so far with Caroline Adams, who is clearly passionate about acupuncture, asks good questions, listens intently, and remembers things I have said from one visit to another.
