Acupuncture has gone mainstream in Berlin, where most of the public is at least curious about traditional Asian medical practices. Because of its wide acceptance, some public health insurance companies have begun to pick up the tab for ailments such as pain, headaches and even childbirth. Many physicians offer acupuncture and acupressure in addition to their medical training, but you can also find plenty of alternative medicine specialists who might have more creative ideas than just drugs to cure what ails you.
