Kudos for local acupuncturist

I'd like to give a quick kudos to Olympia's Community Acupuncture Studio, which is offering treatments on a sliding pay scale. Owner Gianna McManus also offers discounts for seniors, people who walk, bike or ride the bus and military personnel and their families.
On Veterans Day, veterans and their families will get an even better deal: McManus is joining national nonprofit organization Acupuncturists Without Borders to offer $5treatments for people who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places.
Acupuncture is used to treat an array of health issues, though most people think of it as a way to alleviate pain. Along with headaches and back, neck and shoulder pain, the 3,000-year-old practice can treat digestive issues, stress, depression, allergies, menstrual cramps, nausea, vomiting and numerous other conditions.
