This video was made for the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare services by Mazur Media. From the "Mind/Body Medicine Show", this segment gives an overview and demonstration of acupuncture.
Many people would like to try acupuncture and Chinese herbology, but they are held back because many insurances do not cover acupuncture treatments. Affordable acupuncture treatments are offered by schools of acupuncture in their teaching clinics.
An acupuncture school's teaching clinic offers affordable Acupuncture and Chinese Healing Arts to the community while providing advanced students with a clinical internship.
The interns are senior-level students who have passed a series of qualifying exams that allow them to diagnose and prescribe therapies for the patients who come to the clinic. Licensed Acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners supervise the interns.I have had acupuncture treatment for back pain at the Teaching Clinic of New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Mineola, Long Island, NY. First there was an initial consultation with four students, myself, and a supervising acupuncurist. The four students gave me the acupuncture treatment. My back pain was much improved for months afterward, and after the treatment I felt great.
