Fort Collins Pain & Injury Acupuncture

Ask not what can acupuncture do for you, but rather, what can you do for acupuncture? Ok, ask what can acupuncture do for you as well, however, your acupuncture session is an hour long and there is a lot of life and decisions that happen in between.

During the time in between sessions, making good decisions that you know will help support your healing is very important.

Acupuncture can really supercharge the healing process, and, if there are actions that are essentially moving against supporting that process, be it poor dietary choices, poor sleep hygiene, improper mechanics exercising, and many other potential decisions that don't support overall health in the body, acupuncture will only go so far.

It can be helpful to view receiving acupuncture as a partnership. On my end I will do my 100% best to help support your healing and help you meet your health goals, and, if you are making health promoting decisions outside of the treatment room, healing will also occur much deeper and faster that way.

Our family enjoyed the 30th Anniversary party for my alma mater Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture - ITEA this weekend. Amelia enjoyed the lion dance especially.

Most people know that acupuncture can help with pain, digestion, sleep, stress, hormone balance, and immune function, but what many people don’t know is that acupuncture can help you with remembering the reason you walked all the way across the house instead of just standing there with absolutely no clue as to why you did.

Pain doesn’t usually change your life all at once—it changes it in small decisions you start making every day.

You may stop going for the run. You might avoid lifting something overhead. You may think twice before a hike, a workout, or you may struggle to get a good night's sleep. Sometimes pain also limits our ability to be present with loved ones.

My practice focuses on helping people recover from pain and injury so they can get back to the activities they enjoy. Whether you're dealing with a recent injury, a problem that just won't go away, or recovering after surgery, treatment is designed to help restore movement and support your body's recovery.

If pain has been limiting your life, I'd love to help you get moving again.

Pain has a way of changing how you live. It can keep you from exercising, working comfortably, being present with loved ones, enjoying hobbies, or simply moving through your day with confidence.

At Fort Collins Pain & Injury Acupuncture, treatment is focused on helping people overcome pain, recover from injury, and get back to doing what they love.

Whether you're dealing with back or neck pain, sports injuries, joint pain, headaches, or persistent aches that just won't resolve, every treatment is guided by a clear diagnosis and a precise treatment strategy. Often, that means using fewer needles—not more.

The goal isn't simply to manage symptoms. It's to help your body recover, restore movement, and support lasting relief.

Had a wonderful time this weekend in Calgary at a masterclass for Neoclassical Acupuncture. After learning some truly amazing NCA material and sharing time with such an incredible community, we had some great family time in the beautiful Canadian Rockies.

I have some exciting news!!! Recently I decided to make a move from a generalist practice to focusing on treating pain, as well as changed the clinic name to Fort Collins Pain & Injury Acupuncture. I also changed the website with the help of Out West Creative and could not be happier with Carissa's work! I will still be practicing five element acupuncture, still treating other concerns, and also I am so excited for this specialization because I love treating pain and seeing great results! Here is the new website:
