Introduction

My name is Valencie Exceus. I am a Doctor of Oriental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale. One of my goals is to promote natural medicine, particularly Oriental Medicine. There is so much that the public isn't aware of. People are suffering and some people are literally dying from lack of knowledge. The more we know the better choices we can make.

For the past two years, I have been educating the public by being part of several radio shows giving advice on a regular basis; hosting my own radio show; hosting an online TV show; delivering talks and lectures to various groups throughout the South Florida community. I am very excited about the launch of this newsletter because it will reach a broader range of people, and I hope that it will be life changing for those who read it.

From this newsletter, you can expect useful and relevant information. Natural Medicine is not simply a medicine of the past. While we practitioners of Oriental Medicine preserve the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine, we have always kept up with the times. In my practice, I combine the best of Ancient Chinese Medicine and Modern Alternative Medicine in order to give each patient the most comprehensive treatment. Every two weeks, you will get a chance to learn more about some of the most conditions such as Insomnia, Migraine, Hypertension, Lower Back Pain, Stress, PMS, and Constipation. Expect to get useful tips that you can share with your friends, family, and co-workers. In an upcoming issue you will get a chance to learn more about me in an in-depth interview conducted by Blake Seide.

I will also have a Question & Answer column. Perhaps, you are wondering if Chinese Medicine can help with your knee pain. Or, maybe you suffer from Fibroids and want to know your options for natural treatments. I invite you to participate by submitting your questions. I will select one or two questions to answer for each issue.

I ask you to help me reach my goal of educating the public about Natural medicine by sharing this newsletter with your friends. If you are part of a group and would like me to be a speaker for your next gathering, please feel free to contact me.

I also invite you to visit my website, www.AcupunctureFortLauderdale.com. There, you can read all about Acupuncture, Oriental Medicine, Stress, Pain, Women's Health, Men's Health, and much more. You can also use the site to request an appointment, submit your insurance information, and submit your questions for the newsletter.

This month is Patient Appreciation Month in my clinic. If you are suffering with a condition such as neck and shoulder pain, acid reflux, menstrual cramps, and any of the conditions listed in the website or if you would like to maintain your health, now is a very good time to schedule your appointment for a thorough consultation and highly individualized treatments. We have a very special offer for our new patients during Patient Appreciation Month. Please call the office at 954-390-0411 to schedule your appointment.

It is truly a pleasure to connect with you through the newsletter. I hope you learn a lot from this issue's featured article about Acupuncture and Insurance.

In Health,

Most Insurances Cover Acupuncture

Oriental Medicine, particularly acupuncture has become very popular in the United States. Although people are aware that acupuncture treats pain, most do not know that it can affectively treat a wide range of medical conditions. Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to be effective in the treatment of the following conditions:

Muscle, Bone and Nerve Pain and Diseases: Back Pain, Leg Pain, Foot Pain, Stiff and Painful shoulders and Neck, Lower Back Pain, Sciatica, Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel syndrome and Painful Joints, TMJ, Toothache, Headache and Migraines, Arthritis Facial Paralysis, Bell’s Palsy

Gynecological Disorder: Menstrual Pain and Cramping, PMS, Menopause, Infertility
Emotional and Sleep Disorders: Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, and Fatigue

Addictions: Tobacco, Narcotics, Alcohol, Weight Loss

Because Oriental medicine is so effective many health insurance policies are now covering treatments performed by Doctors of Oriental Medicine such as acupuncture and manual therapy. The office of Valencie Exceus, DOM, (Doctor of Oriental Medicine), has successfully processed claims from the following insurance companies: United Health Care, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Blue Cross & Blue Shield.

A large percentage of people with insurance coverage fail to take advantage of the many services available to them. It is very important to know that many beneficial alternative treatments are covered by insurance and could potentially prevent more serious health challenges. Typically, the insurance companies cover acupuncture for the treatment of pain along with other conditions.
