What to Expect & Cost

A first visit with Celeste Houvener, LAc usually runs 60–90 minutes and includes a health history, tongue and pulse assessment, and an initial treatment. Follow-up sessions are typically 30–60 minutes. With a acupuncturist focus, expect treatment geared toward that area.

Self-pay rates generally range from $75–$150 for an initial session and $50–$90 per follow-up, varying by region. Many plans now cover acupuncture for chronic pain — Medicare covers it for chronic low back pain, and some private insurers cover it for pain, nausea, and other conditions.

These are general ranges, not Celeste Houvener, 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.
