About our Acupuncturist
Acupuncture in Boulder: Ancient Healing Art Supported by Science
Although modern science is just starting to understand how it works, the insertion of thin needles into precise points on the skin has been making people feel better for over 2000 years. In fact, acupuncture is considered standard medical practice across Asia today, and a rapidly growing number of western doctors are discovering its effectiveness. Our Boulder acupuncturist uses sterile, FDA-approved needles that patients can hardly feel. In addition to needling, she also uses traditional cupping and herbal medicines. The treatments are comfortable, and Ms. Levine’s intuitive diagnosis of each patient’s condition addresses the underlying causes of neck or back pain, sciatica, anxiety, headaches and migraines, fatigue, etc.
Acupuncturists practicing this essential aspect of TCM diagnose blockages in a patient’s energy flow, which is called Qi (“chee”). Qi flows through “meridians” or energy channels throughout the body that control and regulate the harmonious function of all the body’s systems. Blockages have a variety of causes: accidents, injuries, stress, poor diet, sleep
Before our acupuncturist treats a patient, Ms. Levine thoroughly interviews the patient and discusses the situation with our chiropractor. Some of the questions she asks may seem unconnected to the patient’s back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines or stress, but the answers are important; the body is a fully-integrated system where dysfunction in one area can affect the health of other areas. And our goal is to treat the underlying problem for complete resolution of the symptoms and overall good health.
