Acupuncture is believed to date back as far as the stone age, and hieroglyphics from as early as 1600-1100 BC refer to acupuncture (i, ii). But why should we use it now? With all the new medical technology and discoveries out there, what makes acupuncture and Oriental medicine a good choice for health care?
Your insurance provider should have a website and or phone number on your insurance card that you can use to find out what your benefits include. If acupuncture is not covered, you may be able to choose a plan that does cover it when you renew your benefits. Some insurers cover acupuncture for specific conditions but not others, or only cover acupuncturists who are in network.

I saw Frances for really bad headaches and back pain I've had for almost 10 years. She was able to help relieve my headaches pretty quickly, and after seeing her a few times, my back pain has started to get better! I definitely will keep going regularly so that she can help me get rid of my back pain for good!
