Wandering by via friendsfriends: I don't know where you live, but you might want to look into community acupuncture if you do end up wanting to go the acupuncture route:

I wanted (needed) acupuncture and simply couldn't have afforded it without finding a community acupuncture provider. My treatment was excellent, and worked. I also really liked supporting someone who wanted to make her treatments available to all, regardless of income.

Might not be walking distance from you, but FYI.
