Question:
Does acupuncture work and is it worth the high price?
each session is 80-90 dollars, by a chinese person that has had 23 years experience, i have pain on my right side around the spleen/kidney area, i also have depression because of infertility problems, neck and shoulder pain
Answers:
I have read that acupuncture can help some with infertility. It is also recommended for depression and neck and shoulder pain.
I have some different problems of long standing, chronic migraine, fibromyalgia <everything hurts>, pain from two car accidents in my head, neck and back and bowel problems. I started acupuncture last August and I am able to do more work, have fewer days of just lying down and less pain over all. The person I go to is American but did study in China. You are lucky to have a person with that background.
If you don't have insurance, try to negotiate a lower price. I think the initial visit was $90 for me and then $60, still expensive, but it has slowly helped me. It has been very painful sometimes, but after the pain subsides I often find improvement.
Do you know anyone who has gone to this practitioner? I went to the person I did because my gynecologist recommended him.
Good luck.
