CMS Proposes to cover Acupuncture for Chronic Low Back Pain for Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in approved studies. Today the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed to cover acupuncture for Medicare patients with chronic low back pain who are enrolled participants either in clinical trials sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or in CMS-approved studies.
I decided to pursue acupuncture treatment, after trying multiple options. Ingri of the CT Acupuncture Center, initially recommended three sessions to gauge my body's reaction and literally after the first session I could already notice the signification dissipation of pain by about 70%. Ultimately, I would have to say that in a six-week period, my pain level has really improved from about a five to less than one on a scale of ten.

Pretty odd experience with Ingri. Nothing about the process was professional nor transparent. It was my first time there and she was just trying to rush me onto the table. She never talks about what’s going to happen or the purpose. She avoids talking price which is quite strange. And I never signed anything agreeing to pay. Super invasive. She was very unprofessional throughout the session. It was my first acupuncture experience and I would never do it again.

I see Ingri for my tinnitus and the treatment has been great. I was new to acupuncture and Ingri put my concerns at ease from day one. Ingri also incorporates vitamin and dietary suggestions that help with my therapy. I see Ingri In her fairfield office and it is very easy to access and the rooms are private and tranquil. I strongly recommend Ingri and the CT acupuncture center.

I had issues with the flu. I thought it might have been something serious. She calmed my fears and gave me some fantastic results. She gave me realistic advice and changed the way that I view vitamins and food. I got over my flu and feel great. You really feel that Ingri cares and treats you like a close family member!!!!

What an amazing experience. Ingri made my anxiety of being pricked with needles go away. I was pleasantly transformed to a peaceful environment. Afterwards, I felt a tremendous sense of calm. I visited her after having a heart attack and needed a way to calm myself. I recommend that you visit with her. It will help with your overall wellness.

I visited CT Acupuncture's Fairfield office on Tuesday morning. I was in a great deal of pain due to a sciatica flare up. Ingri was extremely polite and welcoming. She was very sensitive to my condition. She even gave me some great tips! Today I received a Get Well Soon card in the mail from her along with more tips! Although I'm feeling better, I look forward to visiting CT Acupuncture Center again in the future.

I had the most bizarre experience with Ingri. First of all, she never explained how anything was going to work, I told her where I was having pain and before I knew it (30 seconds into our conversation) I had the acupuncture needles in my neck. She went on and on about King Arthur and the round table and how she sees angels footprints in the sand.She never informed me about the length of treatment or how it works. She took out the needles, never told me how much the session costed - but took down my credit card number on a piece of paper. The office was not clean, very cluttered - NOT a relaxing

I cannot believe how great Ingri's treatment was! I went in thinking I had a bum knee, and she talked all of my symptoms over with me - took all the time in the world, and then ......
In 3 treatments - I was healed! I had strained a ligament, and her treatments had brought the healing to the right spots - and she also explained everything along the way. I learned SOOO MUCH! She has so much common sense and such knowledge of every way that the body functions - WOW!!! She is so calm and so nice while she explains how everything works!
I would HIGHLY recommend her for anything

I went to Ingri last summer and was incredibly impressed. The office is nice, quiet and spotless and Ingri herself is a wealth of knowledge. She is so thorough and caring and will actually take the time to listen to you. Next time you are driving by, just look at all the happy patients walking out. I highly recommend Ingri. Cheers!
