These are general ranges, not Alitia Danciu, LAc's published prices. Confirm fees and coverage directly with the practice.

Before Your First Visit

  • Check acupuncture coverage — call your insurer and ask what conditions and how many visits per year are covered.
  • Ask about package pricing — many practices discount multi-session packages, since acupuncture often works over a course of treatments.
  • Eat a light meal beforehand — treatment on an empty stomach can leave you lightheaded.
  • Wear loose clothing — the practitioner needs access to points on the arms, legs, and torso.
  • Confirm the credential — look for L.Ac. (Licensed Acupuncturist) and NCCAOM certification.
