Thinking about acupuncture for chronic low back pain? Check with your insurance to see if sessions with Dorene or Nina are covered!

A new NIH-funded study found that older adults (65+) with chronic low back pain who received acupuncture had better improvements in pain-related disability and physical function than those who only received usual care.

Before scheduling acupuncture treatments, call your insurance provider and ask:
Does my plan cover acupuncture?
Under what conditions? (e.g., number of sessions, provider credentials)
Do I need a referral or pre-authorization?

NIH-funded study supports acupuncture needling as a safe and effective pain treatment for this group.

We're excited to introduce Nina Reis, who will be joining Dorene's practice as an acupuncturist! Dorene has been searching for someone who shares her patient-centered approach to treatment, and Nina is the perfect fit. Nina will be available for appointments on Fridays, starting October 11th, from 9am with her last appt at 3pm. While she expects to be credentialed by Blue Cross in Jan 2025, she may be available as an out-of-network provider before that. To schedule an appointment, please email her at info@ninareis.com.
