Fall sports season. Same old injuries. 🍂🎾

Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, pickleball fanatics and other overuse injuries tend to spike this time of year as swings, serves, and practices ramp back up. The pain usually starts small and easy to ignore, until it isn’t anymore.

Tony Burris LAc sees this pattern every fall, and he’s passionate about helping athletes recover faster and healthier instead of just pushing through the pain.

Are you are your high school athlete dealing with nagging pain? 👇

Let’s be honest, a lot of things hurt worse than acupuncture. Stubbing your toe. Sitting through a dentist’s cleaning. Reading your bank statement after the holidays. 😅

But here’s the real answer: whether acupuncture hurts (or doesn’t) comes down to who’s putting the needles in.

Dr. Kristen Burris and Tony Burris practice Japanese needling techniques, which uses thinner needles and a gentler application than what a lot of people picture when they think “acupuncture.” They each have thousands of hours of training in needle techniques. The goal isn’t to push through discomfort, it’s to help your body relax into the treatment. Most patients say they barely feel the needles go in, or they report they feel a “tickle” and many patients are surprised they fall asleep on the table, even those who report they never, ever sleep in public.

If a fear of pain has kept you from trying acupuncture, this might be exactly the style and the experience that changes your mind.

Fall is Chrysanthemum season. 🌼

In Chinese medicine, Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua) is one of our favorite herbs to reach for this time of year. It’s cooling by nature, which makes it especially helpful for clearing heat, calming headaches, easing eye strain, and quieting a busy mind. A little cup of this tea is like a reset button for the nervous system.

We put together a simple recipe so you can bring a bit of TCM into your own kitchen:

🍵 **Chrysanthemum Tea**

**Ingredients:**

1 tablespoon dried chrysanthemum

1 cup hot water

Honey (optional)

**Instructions:**

Place the dried chrysanthemum flowers in a teapot or cup and pour hot water over them. Let steep for 5 minutes, then strain. Stir in fresh local honey if you’d like a touch of sweetness, and enjoy warm.

Simple, soothing, and rooted in centuries of practice. This is one of those small daily rituals that can make a real difference, especially as the seasons shift.

This past weekend, Dr. Kristen Burris had the honor of volunteering at the Dress for Success Gala with the local Treasure Valley Polka Dot Leadership Team where Dr. Burris also volunteers every month. It was such a meaningful night for both her and Eagle Acupuncture. 💛

Dress for Success helps women build confidence and prepare for employment by providing tools, services, and professional clothing that set them up for success to be independent for life. It’s the kind of mission that goes beyond a single event, it’s about giving women the resources and confidence to walk into their next opportunity ready and to build a life they have always dreamt of but may not have had the support they needed.

We believe in the work this organization offers, and we’re grateful to have been part of celebrating it and raising funds necessary to help women become the independent providers they want to be.

What a great event, and an even greater cause. 🌟

There’s always two sides to a love story. This one started in a massage Tui Na class, with Tony as the assistant teacher and Dr. Kristen Burris as one of his students. 😏 But don’t worry…they didn’t actually start dating until long after the class was over.

Partway through that very first class, Dr. Kristen Burris’s student partner had to leave early, leaving Dr. Burris solo. That meant Tony Burris, the teacher, had to step in and pair up with Dr. Burris. She had already practiced her technique on her original student partner, so when it was her turn to receive treatment, Tony was the one giving it.

Sometimes the universe works things out in funny ways.

That class was the start of it all, connected over the ancient art of Chinese medicine, and slowly falling for each other along the way.

Years later, that same story is still being written. Mr. Tony Burris and Dr. Kristen Burris have now practiced acupuncture and Chinese medicine together for 25 years, treating patients throughout Eagle, Idaho and the surrounding areas. Together. 💛

There’s something special about a practice built on a partnership like theirs. It’s not just two practitioners sharing a clinic. It’s two people who chose the same path, then chose each other, and have spent years since proving healing (and love) only grows stronger with time.

💬 If you’ve been treated by Tony Burris, LAc or Dr. Kristen Burris DAcCHM, what do you feel when you walked into the clinic? Or more importantly, what did you feel when you walked out after your treatment? Tell us in the comments.

The best part of Dr. Burris’s job? Getting to meet the babies. 👶💛

Working with women on their fertility journey is some of the most meaningful work we do at Eagle Acupuncture. It takes patience, trust, and a whole lot of hope, from the very first appointment through every cycle, every small win, every hard month.

So when a patient we’ve supported through conception comes back months later with a healthy, thriving baby in her arms, it never gets old. It’s the whole reason this work matters.

Fertility support through Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the full picture, hormone balance, stress, blood flow, and overall wellness, to help create the best possible environment for conception. We’re honored to be part of that journey with our patients, from trying to conceive all the way to holding their little one for the first time.

If you’re on your own fertility journey and want support, we’re here. 💛

Fall sports season is here, and so are the injuries that come with it 🎾⛳

Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are two of the most common overuse injuries we see this time of year. Both come from repetitive motion, whether it’s a backhand, a swing, or even just gripping equipment the same way over and over. The pain shows up gradually, then suddenly it’s hard to hold a coffee cup, let alone a racket.

At Eagle Acupuncture, we don’t just treat the sore spot. We look at the whole picture, how you’re moving, where the strain is really coming from, and what’s keeping your body from healing on its own. Acupuncture helps reduce inflammation, improve blood flow to the area, and support the tissue repair your body needs to actually get better, not just feel better for a day.

If you’ve been playing through elbow pain this season, it doesn’t have to become a chronic issue. The earlier we address it, the faster and easier recovery tends to be.

A quick tip before your next visit to Eagle Acupuncture

Please try to eat something light before your appointment. Acupuncture works with your body’s energy, and treating on a completely empty stomach can leave you feeling lightheaded, shaky, or even a little nauseous once the needles go in.

You don’t need a full meal. A piece of toast, some fruit, a handful of nuts, or a smoothie is plenty. The goal is just to have a little fuel in your system so your body can relax fully into the treatment instead of focusing on low blood sugar.

On the flip side, we also don’t recommend coming in stuffed right after a big meal. Digestion pulls a lot of energy too, and we want that energy available for your treatment.

A light, balanced meal an hour or so beforehand is the sweet spot. Small habit, but it really does change how your session feels. 💛

Do you have a go-to pre-appointment snack? 👇

New patient exams at Eagle Acupuncture always include one thing most people don’t expect: a good look at your tongue. 👅

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the tongue is one of our most valuable diagnostic tools. Its color, shape, coating, and even the tiny cracks or indentations can tell us a lot about what’s happening inside your body, often before you’ve described a single symptom.

A pale tongue might point to blood deficiency. A red tip can signal stress or heart fire. A thick coating may mean digestive imbalance. Scalloped edges often show up when the body is fatigued or under strain.

It sounds simple, but tongue diagnosis has been refined over thousands of years of clinical observation. Paired with pulse diagnosis and a thorough health history, it helps us build a complete picture of your health and create a treatment plan that’s actually specific to you, not a generic protocol.

So next time we ask you to stick out your tongue, know that we’re not just checking a box. We’re reading a map.

Have you ever had a practitioner look at your tongue before? What did they tell you? 👇

Have you met Mr. Tony Burris, LAc, MSTOM?

With over 25 years of clinical experience, Tony is a trusted leader in acupuncture and integrative medicine here at Eagle Acupuncture. He specializes in complex, chronic pain that too often gets a temporary fix instead of a real answer. He treats difficult to treat pain syndromes including migraines, fibromyalgia, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, chronic sports injury and multiple sclerosis.

He has treated some of the most famous pro athletes in the world. Next time you see him, ask him yourself! Are you a Chargers fan? The Redskins or Commanders fan? Denver Broncos, Lions or the Bears…he may have some stories for you.

*Tony*’s approach goes beyond masking symptoms. Using acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, he works to calm nerve pathways, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s own healing response, offering a safe, drug-free path when conventional treatment has fallen short or is taking too long to heal.

He also works closely with men’s health and sports injury recovery, helping athletes and everyday patients get back to moving and living without pain holding them back.

Alongside Dr. Kristen Burris, his wife, Tony has helped build a small-town practice rooted in real, lasting relief, not band-aid solutions.
