How to Find Affordable Acupuncture Near You

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more information.

As a licensed acupuncturist and personal finance writer, sometimes I’m given confused looks as the two seemingly don’t coordinate.

But as many of you will know who read my blog and hang out with me on Facebook Live, acupuncture school is how I racked up all my debt and the primary way we paid it off.

So when I had the opportunity to write about affordable acupuncture when I was interning at The Penny Hoarder it was my two worlds perfectly colliding.

I’ve been practicing for about five years and have seen acupuncture work wonders in people. When people ask me what it treats I tell them it can work on anything you wouldn’t go to the emergency room for.

The number of things it treats is really that broad.

“Acupuncture needles elicit immune responses in your body to send appropriate proteins or chemicals to the places they need to go to solve problems.

Say you have a sprained ankle. Acupuncture would be effective in reducing inflammation, blocking pain signals to the brain and speeding up the healing process.”

Community Acupuncture

I’ve spent my entire career practicing in a community acupuncture clinic. Community acupuncture is one part healthcare and one part social justice movement.

It takes the cost barrier out and makes natural alternative healthcare affordable.

“Community acupuncture brings treatments back to basics, the way it’s practiced in China. It’s a worldwide movement that takes the cost barrier out of the healing equation.

Treatments take place in recliners in a shared space instead of private treatment rooms, and clinics see a high volume of patients. This model makes the price more affordable at $15-$40 per treatment.”

  8. I’m interested in using acupuncture for the first time to improve fertility. How would this work? Are the needles placed in areas I’d want a private room for? Thanks! Acupuncture virgin =)

    1. Hey! Nope, anything for fertility can be accessed with clothes on. You might need to unbutton your pants but thats as risque as it needs to get. 😉 And you can always cover with a sheet if you feel uncomfortable. I recommend at least 6 weeks of treatment for fertility. Good luck!!
