    Oakland Acupuncture ProjectI recently got really sick ... sinus headaches, stuffy nose, popping ears, chest congestion, sore throat ... THE WORKS! I went several times to Oakland Acupuncture Project and felt significantly better the next days after receiving treatment. Cait, who helped me, is so kind and warm . It's one of those community spots that I believe is worth it's weight in gold because they make acupuncture affordable, and it works. Just wanted to give them a shout out because they are a local business on Laurel Ave in our District and certainly a huge gift to our community.                                                                                                                           -Chris Burley
