Wheat Ridge & Denver Acupuncture & Wellness Treatments
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an extremely powerful yet gentle form of treatment.
The needles are extremely thin, sterile and are used only once on each patient before being discarded. The sensations felt upon insertion of an acupuncture needle can range from warmth, distension, pressure, dull ache, and tingling.
To find out more about acupuncture and other techniques used during acupuncture treatments please visit our Acupuncture page.
Cupping
Cupping involves the use of either a glass or plastic cup in which a vacuum has been produced by either the application of heat or by a pump.
When the cup is applied to the skin’s surface the suction created by the vacuum aids in pulling toxic build from the muscle tissue. As pathogenic toxins are released from the underlying tissues and brought to the surface of the skin the body is then able to eliminate them much more efficiently. This also allows fresh, oxygenated blood to circulate more freely and more efficiently nourish the body’s tissues. Learn more by visiting out Cupping page.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine involves herbal remedies which are prescribed based on a client’s Chinese medical diagnosis.
The power of an Herbal Medicine lies in the fact that it has been designed specifically for the individual in order to restore health and balance by treating the root of a client’s condition, not just masking symptoms. The formula prescribed maybe in the form of a tincture, pill or raw or powdered herb blend which is then prepared as a tea. Herbs are considered to have few or no side effects compared to western pharmaceuticals. Learn more by visiting our Herbal Medicine page.
Micro-needling
Micro-needling
Microneedling - Collagen Induction Therapy I consent to the treatment of MicroNeedling to be carried out upon myself. The MicroNeedling treatment allows for controlled induction of growth factor serums, or hyaluronic acid, into the skins self-repair process by creating micro injuries in the skin. These injuries stimulate new collagen production, while not posing the risk of permanent scaring. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin. The skin needling treatments are performed in a safe and precise manner with a sterile needle head and are usually completed in 30-60 minutes. Contraindications: Absolute Contraindications: Accutane within 6 months, Scleroderma, collagen vascular disease, or cardiac abnormalities, rosacea, blood clotting problems, platelet abnormalities, anticoagulation therapy (i.e.: Warfarin), facial cancer, past and present, chemotherapy, steroid therapy, dermatological diseases affecting the face (i.e. Porphyria), diabetes and other chronic conditions, active bacterial or fungal infections, immune-suppression, scars less then 6 months old and Botox/facial fillers in the past 2-4 weeks. Treatment is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or nursing. Precautions: keloid or raised scarring, eczema, psoriasis, actinic keratosois, and herpes simplex. Side Effects Typically Include: Skin will be pink or red and may feel warm, like mild sunburn, tight and itchy, which usually subside in 12 to 24 hrs Minor flaking or dryness of the skin, with scab formation in rare cases. Crusting, discomfort, bruising and swelling may occur. Pinpoint bleeding. It is possible to have a cold sore flare if you have a history of outbreaks. Freckles may lighten temporarily or permanently disappear in treated areas. Infection is rare but if you see any signs of tender redness or puss notify our office immediately. Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) rarely occurs and usually resolves itself after a month. Permanent scarring (less than 1%) is extremely rare.
Tui Na
Tui Na is a form of Chinese massage which promotes the circulation of blood and energy.
Tui Na involves the practitioner using various body manipulations and movement techniques to alleviate pain and address health issues using pressure on particular acupuncture points. Learn more by visiting our Tui Na page.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves long sweeping strokes along an aspect of the body with a small tool which results in small petechiae called sha.
The sha generally fades within 2-3 days after treatment. Gua Sha removes blood stagnation, promotes normal circulation and metabolic processes. Many times the client experiences immediate relief from pain, stiffness, fever, chills, cough, nausea and other forms of inflammation. Gua sha can be used for acute and chronic conditions.
