Acupuncture?

[Great-Kazoo]

Ok, so is it expensive?

Average of $40-50 per visit

What if you hate needles? Does it hurt?

The needles are approx the thickness of a piece of hair off your head. Slight sensation when applied. the more you feel it the more release you might be getting. IMHO until you try it you will never understand the actual feeling of the needle.

Sensation... like ouch or ooohhh that tickles?

see above reply

I'm more concerned about cost, a quality practitioner near Parker, and if my insurance through Kaiser will cover it. It's a Kaiser neurosurgeon recommending this. Research this more, I must!

IF it is Primary care physician referred they should cover it. If they say no get your neurosurgeon AND primary to not only suggest it but talk to the ins, Which is kaiser. They were very good to use when the spouse worked for them regarding referrals. However acupuncture is considered OON. You may have to pay out of pocket , then get kaiser to reimburse you. As with any ins HMNO, GFL getting reimbursed for anything.

For anyone who has been told they need a cortisone shot, look in to prolo therapy.
