Care we offer
Care built around training
Each kind of care is explained before we begin, and you can say no to any of it.
Acupuncture
Fine, single-use needles at a few points, chosen with you after a talk about your week, your load and how you feel.
About acupunctureElectro-acupuncture
A gentle current passed between two needles, for a few minutes, while you rest. We ask about a pacemaker first.
About electro-acupunctureCupping
Glass or silicone cups on the back, hips or legs for a few minutes. Faint round marks are common and fade in days.
About cuppingEar seeds
Tiny seeds taped to points on the ear, so you can press them gently between visits.
Beside your PT
Beside your PT, and what dry needling is
Many of the people we see also work with a physical therapist, a chiropractor or a coach. Acupuncture sits beside that care, and we are glad to share notes when you ask us to. Dry needling uses thin needles at tight spots in a muscle. Some physical therapists and some acupuncturists offer it, each under their own license and training, and Colorado allows both.

Questions people ask first
Does it hurt?
Most people feel a quick pinch, a dull ache or a heavy, warm feeling at a point, and some feel nothing. The needles are much thinner than the ones used for shots. If anything feels like too much, tell your acupuncturist and they will adjust or stop.
Are the needles clean?
Yes. We use sterile needles from sealed packs, open each pack in front of you and use each needle once. Used needles go into a sharps container. Risks are small, and your acupuncturist explains them before the first needle: soreness, light bruising, feeling light-headed and, rarely, bleeding or infection.
How many visits will I need?
Your acupuncturist suggests a plan around your training and your event dates, for example visits closer together while your load builds and fewer in a rest week. It is a suggestion, not a promise, and results vary. You can change the plan or stop at any time.
How is this different from dry needling at my PT?
Dry needling uses thin needles at tight spots in a muscle, and acupuncture uses similar needles in a wider plan. Physical therapists and acupuncturists each work under their own license and training, and neither is better than the other for everyone. Ask any practitioner what their training is and what a session involves, and tell your PT if you also see us.
Can I come in the week of a race?
Yes, and tell us your date when you book. We would rather you try something new, like cupping or electro-acupuncture, well before race day, because you may feel sore or sleepy afterward.
Will I have to stop my medicine?
No. Keep taking everything your prescriber gave you, and tell us all that you take. Acupuncture works alongside your doctor's care, never in place of it.
