Aurora, CO · Natural pain relief & healing
A full hour of natural healing and pain relief with one of our licensed acupuncturists.
Acupuncture involves placing fine, sterile needles into specific acupoints on the body to stimulate healing. Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and supported by modern research, it's used to ease pain, calm the nervous system, and help the body restore balance.
Our practitioners blend traditional technique with a Western, evidence-based approach — including trigger-point work for myofascial pain — to give you a treatment tailored to your body.
A comprehensive evaluation to understand your full health picture — not just your symptoms.
Customized recommendations using acupuncture and complementary holistic therapies — no drugs, no band-aids.
When we get to the root, your body does the rest — so you can get back to the things that matter most.
An acupuncturist will ask questions about your health and symptoms during your initial visit. Your healthcare professional will then do a physical examination to determine which acupuncture points will be most effective. The acupuncturist will insert needles into specific places on the patient's skin. Needles are disposable, sanitary, and as thin as human hair. Acupuncturists can implant needles from a few millimeters to a few inches into the skin. Needles can remain in place for as long as 20 minutes.
Every needle may cause a slight pinch. A blood draw is more painful than this. Needles used in the treatment are extremely thin and substantial, unlike the vacuous needles used in Western medicine.
It is risky to receive acupuncture from someone who is improperly trained. Infections, organ punctures, and damage to the nervous system are all possible outcomes of receiving medical care from an inexperienced physician or one who uses non-sterile needles.
Due to the sedative effects of this therapy, we recommend that patients be driven home, particularly after their first treatment. If that's not an option, at least take a short nap of five to ten minutes before getting behind the wheel. After every session, your therapist may advise you to rest for a day or two.
The total number of sessions required will vary based on the nature of your ailment, its seriousness, and the body's response. The typical appointment frequency for patients is once weekly. For others, the frequency of treatment is adjusted based on the impact duration. The acupuncturist can help you figure out the best frequency for your needs.
