it is done where you sit in a recliner in a group...so the costs are low.. No insurance. just credit card or cash.

sliding scale from 15-30 a visit, they have it low so you can keep coming back.

I guess they have these all over the nation and each are set up a little different. The two practitioners have over 10 years expericen and one used to be a pharmacist.

they don't do herbs.. just acupuncture.
