When times are tough, it’s especially important to stay healthy, and for many people, acupuncture and massage are part of their treatment or health maintenance program. But if you’re like a lot of people, you feel like the economy is “sticking it” to you and making it difficult for you to preserve yourself financially while seeking alternative health care. Here are some solutions.
Acupuncture and massage on a budget
Folks living in the Phoenix or Tucson metropolitan areas are fortunate in that there are several highly regarded schools that teach acupuncture and associated healing modalities. Some of them offer acupuncture and/or massage treatments at a reduced rate. These treatments are typically administered by students who are supervised by a licensed or otherwise fully qualified acupuncturist. Here are a few you can contact for more information and an appointment:
