Josh is phenomenal! I’ve come for both acupuncture and cupping multiple times for almost a year now and couldn’t be happier! I am more at ease, sleep better and my digestive issues have improved as well. He’s such a delightful person every visit. I highly recommend!!

Josh is undeniably the best acupuncturist in Tucson. After my head, neck, and back pain did not respond to meds, my MD referred me to Josh at Common Roots Acupuncture. I booked my appt. Josh carefully listened to my many concerns. My pain and BP decreased after my first session. I booked more sessions knowing my hypermobile body needs more time to heal! Thank you Josh!

I've been suffering with thoracic neuropathy after surgery for 10 years. I literally thought I had tried everything. Electroaccupuncture was my last possible choice and the only one that worked. Thank you so much Josh! I'm finally pain free and after just one visit! I wish I had tried this a long time ago!

I’ve had chronic muscle knots from stress in my upper back, neck, and shoulders that Josh has made significant progress in releasing those knots. He also works on any other odd aches and nerve issues I may have each session. He is extremely knowledgeable and effective! I highly recommend him!

If you know the difference bw good acupuncture and bad acupuncture, this is the place to go. Josh has a remarkable ability to zone in on the source of your pain and place needles where they actually work. I have seen him multiple times as well as other practitioners in Tucson. Following my last visit with Josh, I will no longer see anyone else. I had a very painful pinched nerve in my neck and, stupidly, went to urgent care first in order to get quick help. After the drugs they prescribed didn't help my pain, I finally went to Josh for help. He did dry needling and electroacupuncture on me and the results were both immediate and lasting. If I could go back, I would have just skipped going to urgent care for help. Josh's treatment far surpassed that of the Dr at the clinic! Oh, and, before I forget to mention it - he is a super kind person on top of it!

Josh has deep training and experience in both Western and Chinese medicine. He also has a friendly and positive spirit, and a beautiful and very comfortable treatment space. My functional medicine doctor recommended Josh to me for help with mood issues caused by cancer medication. After literally a single session with Josh, my mood issues improved! The results have been so good that I've decided to continue working with Josh through the rest of my cancer treatment to help maintain my mood, prepare my body for demanding treatment, and facilitate healing. And I also appreciate that he offers sliding-scale payment. If you're seeking a Tucson acupuncurist, stop seeking and just book with Common Roots!

Ive been dealing with chronic pain, sleep disturbances, and a whole range of autoimmune issues for a long time. I find my issues, on-top of being difficult to treat, are resistant to most mainstream treatments. I recently started seeing Josh. I’m 3 sessions in and I’m surprised to already be noticing positive changes. I feel like I’m staying asleep easier throughout the night, and I’m noticing my pain isn't distracting me as often. Im excited to see what more we can achieve. Josh made me feel very welcomed and understood when explaining my issues. His studio is easy to find, and always very quiet and clean. I’ve really been enjoying my treatments. Thanks Josh!

A friend recommended Josh after her successful visits with him. I've never had acupuncture but was totally open to giving it a try. Josh is friendly, calm and very easy to talk to. He asked very specific questions as we went through my list of aches and pains. My shoulder and knee specifically were areas I wanted to have him focus on. His skill, knowledge and background in clinical settings (he's a registered Nurse too!) shines through with every treatment. My pain is steadily decreasing and I look forward to having the time to decompress and allow my body to be pampered by Josh's techniques. He's amazing!

Great experience! Josh is a great listener, he understood what I needed, I went to another realm while the needles were in! I started feeling better the very next day. Definitely going back!
