Tips on How to Afford Alternative Therapies


Have you ever thought of trying alternative therapies for chronic illness and pain? And if post for HealthCentral, I looked into ways of making them affordable:

"Managing the symptoms of chronic illness involves a battery of techniques and many of us include alternative therapies in our treatment regimen. This can include acupuncture, chiropractic care, naturopathy, massage, and others. Unfortunately, they tend to be expensive. This post offers information on creative ways to access alternative therapies.

Insurance coverage

Some are covered outright and you can go ahead and make the appointment yourself. Others may require a doctor’s referral in order to be covered."

My insurance will not cover alternative therapies, but I have looked into using acupuncture. It seems fairly inexpensive. Ahh maybe. I am a fairly wild and crazy sort of guy.
