Why Acupuncture?

Its cost-effective!! It seems that theres no escape. Each time you take a newspaper or listen to the evening news, what you hear is dismal on the economy, jobs are lost and deficits trillion. One of the most pressing problems of our nation as a whole is the high cost of medical care. The tag soaring prices on everything from insurance coverage, deductibles, treatments and doctors visits has not escaped any of us. More and more health consumers are looking for creative ways to be able to afford the care they need. They have shopped for high deductible health plans, the creation of Health Savings Accounts and Flex Plans, and purchases at prices comparable to physicians, visits and procedures. Many people have discovered that they simply can afford health insurance, and as a provider of health care, I contribute to my state funds for those people who are unable to afford health insurance standard.

In most cases, however, acupuncture is a cost effective treatment for the treatment of acute and chronic health for many. For example, if you were to start your morning, back from shoveling snow, you could spend a few days on the couch Taking prescription pain relievers. After a couple of days in acute pain, May you decide you've had enough, and call your doctor take a look. Assuming that you did maladieance insurance or maybe your insurance was a high deductible, you may pay $ 150-200 for the initial physician visit. According carol.com (a website that publishes the prices of medical procedures in Minnesota), a full assessment would cost you around $ 500. If your doctor wanted an X-ray of your back, you can transfer in $ 75-100, but more likely he or she wants you to experience an MRI, which would run you another $ 1000. Your doctor may probablementprescrire a strong pain killer and muscle relaxant, and send you home to take care of your back. (Even with a disk problem, you will usually need to wait it out until the inflammation in your cool down.)

On the other hand, if you were to do nothing other than acupuncture for pain relief, your cost for six visits (usually enough for your back pain to calm down) would be less than $ 450. Unfortunately, in many cases, I see people in our Clinic where they conflict with their first backthey usually wait until theyve tried everything else and their back is still killing them. It is important to note, however, that the sooner we see someone in pain / injury cycle, the faster they will respond to acupuncture.

We are all ways to live more economically. Acupuncture can be a cost effective way to treat a number of conditions from pain to hot flashes to anxiety and depression. Acupuncture is Unde remboursablesr Health Savings Plans and flexible savings plans, and is tax deductible. Give it a try. !
