This blog date is old, but I thought I would still respond for future reference or if you are still having issues.</p><p>First off, you got overcharged for the Acupuncture services. Google "Community Acupuncture" and hopefully you can find a Community Acupuncturist near you. They charge $15-$35, pay what you can afford. Community Acupuncturists have to pass the same rigorous National Board Exams and attain a Masters Degree to practice (as MOST states require) as the person who charged $150 for a treatment. There is no catch.</p><p>Secondly, Acupuncture is a therapy. It rarely resolves anything in one treatment, it might take 5-20 treatments, each one building on another. Not only is this based on 1000's of years of experience, but modern western medical knowledge. Acupuncture is taught to MDs at the UCLA and Stanford Schools of Medicine, and is used at most large hospitals including Mayo Clinic.</p><p>Hopefully you already are healed up and back to normal. take care. :)</p><p></p>nanunanuWed, 29 Jul 2009 05:34:56 -0000
