I went to a new acupuncturist yesterday. My new health plan covers acupuncture, which should be a big help, but my previous acupuncturist wasn't happy with the amount the insurance pays her. I always liked her, but felt it was time for a change. I've had many acupuncturists over the years, mostly Chinese, but also a few Koreans and a few Americans. My first acupuncturist, back in the days when acupuncture was new to the US, was an orthopedic surgeon. My new acupuncturist is the first Jewish woman. She does a Japanese form of acupuncture, which uses smaller needles. I don't even feel them. I'll give her a try. It's definitely a different experience.
