ACUPUNCTURE / Chinese Medicine Treatment
At Jade Mountain Health, we tailor acupuncture with advanced techniques to match Boulder’s active, high-altitude lifestyle. Electroacupuncture adds gentle microcurrent to needles to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and speed recovery after climbing, cycling, or ski injuries. Scalp acupuncture targets functional brain–body pathways for headaches, neurological conditions, and stubborn pain patterns common along the Front Range. For trigger-point tension from desk work or training, dry needling releases tight bands in muscles while we also balance the system with meridian therapy to reduce anxiety, support circulation, digestion, and stress resilience. Your treatment plan blends these methods as needed—precise, comfortable, and focused on getting you back outside feeling your best.
Cupping Treatment
Cupping can help open the chest, move lymph, and ease muscle tension—useful during cold and flu season along the Front Range. For pain and injury recovery, gentle suction increases local circulation to tight fascia and sore muscles after climbing, cycling, or ski days. Many patients also find the rhythmic, anchored pressure calming during panic attacks or high-stress periods, supporting deeper breathing and a downshift in the nervous system. In Colorado’s dry, high-altitude air (and during smoke or pollen spikes), cupping may ease respiratory congestion and support freer breathing. Sessions are tailored to your comfort with stationary or gliding cups, and temporary marks are normal and fade within a few days.
Chinese Herbal Consultation
At Jade Mountain Health, we create custom herbal formulas that fit Boulder’s climate and active lifestyle—supporting seasonal allergies during pollen or smoke days, calming anxiety and mild depression, and speeding recovery from athletic injuries. Carefully sourced, lab-tested herbs can also enhance performance by improving circulation, sleep quality, and post-training resilience for Front Range runners, climbers, and cyclists. For digestion, we address altitude- and stress-related issues like bloating, reflux, or irregularity with targeted, balanced formulas. Many patients also use herbs to combat fatigue, stabilizing daytime energy without jitters. We review safety, dosing, and interactions so your plan pairs smoothly with any medications and your broader treatment at our Boulder clinic.
Moxibustion (Moxa) in Boulder
Moxibustion is a traditional therapy that gently warms specific acupuncture points to improve circulation, ease pain, and support immune and digestive function. At Jade Mountain Health in Boulder, we use high-quality, smokeless or traditional moxa depending on your needs and sensitivities. Moxa can be especially helpful for cold, achy joints, menstrual pain, fatigue, and circulation. Many Front Range athletes also find it speeds recovery and reduces stiffness after training at altitude. Your acupuncturist will discuss whether moxa is a good fit and integrate it seamlessly into your treatment plan.
What to Expect From Jade Mountain Health Services
A Thoughtful Intake & Clear Plan
Your first visit includes a detailed intake covering your health history, goals, lifestyle, and how you feel at altitude here in Boulder. We’ll examine your pulse and tongue, assess movement or trigger points as needed, and outline a step-by-step plan so you know what we’re doing and why.
You’ll leave with a clear picture of your recommended schedule (e.g., weekly for a few sessions, then taper), any herbal options, and simple at-home tips between visits.
Comfortable, Relaxing Treatments
We use gentle techniques and explain sensations before we begin—whether it’s electroacupuncture, scalp acupuncture, cupping, or moxibustion. Needles are single-use and sterile, and we tailor depth and stimulation to your comfort.
The treatment rooms are warm and quiet with soft lighting (great after a day on Boulder’s trails or at your desk). Many patients report deeper breathing, a calm nervous system, and looser muscles by the end of the session.
Options That Fit Colorado Life
Living on the Front Range brings dry air, variable pollen, and an active outdoor culture. We adjust care for recovery after training, altitude-related headaches, seasonal allergies, and stress.
If smoke or sensitivities are a concern, we can keep sessions fragrance-free and use smokeless moxa when appropriate. Your plan may also include cupping for respiratory support or targeted herbs for energy and digestion.
Aftercare, Scheduling & Results Tracking
You’ll get simple aftercare—hydration, gentle movement, and what to expect from cupping marks or post-treatment soreness. We’ll suggest when to return and how to space sessions for lasting change.
Booking is straightforward online, and we can provide superbills for out-of-network insurance. We track progress together—pain levels, sleep, mood, and performance—so you can see tangible improvements over time.
