Acupuncture Therapy for Spinal Issues?

Same thing happened to me. My insurance said I didn't qualify for epidural injections until I'd exhausted other pain-control methods.
As for accupuncture, I've been told that the quality of specialists' training fluctuates (sometimes wildly) from one practioner to the next. Allegedly there's a big difference between the best-trained accupuncturists and everyone else in the field. That's anecdotal info, though.

Your Second Paragraph (above) "rings" very true with me. In year's past, I used various chiropractors in my immediate area. In hindsight, I learned exactly what you've described.
For my current issues (and in addition to several that my Physician Network suggested), I've researched additional acupuncturists and am leaning towards an Acupuncture Clinic that's part of a major Southern California University's public health practice. I hope that I'm correct in assuming that they only employ highly-skilled practitioners. We'll see.
