YOUR Essential Health Benefit

Health insurance coverage, reform, and patient rights are major topics in the media. They are getting attention because the current system is both unsustainable and unbalanced with the number of uninsured and underinsured growing.

As the politicians toss around legislation to build a better system, I want to point out that Community Acupuncture was created years ago to help build a better health system. One Earth Acupuncture is a member of a nationwide network called the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture.

The focus at One Earth is providing affordable acupuncture sessions to help people feel healthy and pain free. A key objective of the acupuncture process is to assist people in learning to live a healthy and balanced life so that individually each of us can feel empowered and accountable for our own health. This can be a drastic switch for some people who feel victimized or misdirected by their health care providers.

It is important to be educated about your own body, so that when you have pain you are able to discern: is this is a need for rest? a need for acupuncture?…or a need to call a physician? I am not an authority on Public Health, but as someone who provides about 75 acupuncture sessions weekly, I have witnessed numerous success stories where people find significant relief from pain, have avoided surgery, reduced or eliminated medications, or more simply ‘feel better!’.

The majority of you reading this have made a clear commitment to utilize acupuncture as a standard of care for your health without having your health insurance plan cover the expense. In fact, you are making a grand statement that acupuncture is indeed an important benefit to your health. For that I say CONGRATULATIONS!

If the purpose of life is to enjoy every moment….well then, let’s do what we can to live it!

Please let me know your success story with acupuncture at One Earth.
