Defining a top acupuncture clinic: The treatment that matches your needs

You can always choose a clinic for you based on location and visit the nearest acupuncture clinic to where you live or work, but perhaps there is also an acupuncture clinic that is a better match for your needs which are going to be different for each individual – this is ultimately what is most important, finding a clinic that is best for you and your circumstances. Our list of  top clinics is based on the quality of service and experience level of practitioner(s), convenience of services offered including location, receptionist availability, online booking options, direct billing, etc., reputation/reviews and the clinic operations.

The “rising star” of Alternative Medicine

According to several sources, including The NCBI, acupuncture is the most popular alternative healing method globally, with millions of people receiving this treatment. Today, acupuncture is recognized by most extended health care benefits and insurance plans, and hopefully it will be part of the Alberta Health Care plan one day. Acupuncture has a huge range of health benefits and can treat many conditions and illnesses.

Acupuncture prices in Edmonton

What are the acupuncture treatment prices like in Edmonton? Most acupuncturists will charge more for the first treatment and less for the follow-up.

Edmonton’s initial acupuncture treatment/consultation: Usually this will be 60 minutes and will cost between $95 to $165 and include a short discussion, examination, Chinese Medicine diagnosis and finally the acupuncture treatment.

Edmonton’s follow-up acupuncture treatment will usually last 45 minutes, and the price will vary between $75 to $125.

Acupuncture direct billing in Edmonton

If you have benefits or insurance plans, your acupuncture treatment will most likely be covered by your provider. Direct billing means that the acupuncture clinic will bill the insurance for the treatment without you needing to pay anything. If the clinic doesn’t have direct billing, you will pay, take the receipt and claim it by submitting it online and then receive the money-back from your insurance company. Typically insurance plans cover between $200 and $500 worth of treatments, but check with your provider to see what you are eligible for.

Save money with treatment packages – you will pay upfront but receive a good discount for purchasing multiple sessions. If you have insurance coverage and are unsure if Acupuncture is right for you, try it and see how it can help.

Choose the best acupuncturist for you.

The better the match with your acupuncturist, the better the results. There isn’t one acupuncturist that is best for everyone, but there is one that is best for you. When choosing an acupuncturist, you should consider the acupuncture techniques, specialties, availability, location, and personal touch. The connection between the acupuncturist and the patient is essential and supports healing.
