About our practice

Acupuncture

 
 

We are so glad you found us.

Boulders Acupuncture and Natural Healthcare is a wellness clinic dedicated to providing holistic health services to treat the whole person—body, mind and spirit. Many people associate Chinese medicine with treatment for pain, but it is so much more. Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health and improve overall function and well-being. During pregnancy, acupuncture offers safe, effective treatment for pain, nausea, edema and sleep issues. Additionally, it can help with breech presentations and when needed, induce labor. Fertility, Pregnancy, Post-Partnum Depression, PMS and Menopause can all be addressed through Acupuncture.

We successfully treat all kinds of conditions and complaints, as well as provide preventive medicine to keep the body in balance and disease free. Individualized treatment plans are set up to get to the root of the imbalance making real improvements in your wellbeing, instead of just masking the problems. Our practitioners will work together with your existing healthcare team to provide optimal care and hope to answer any questions you might have.

Corrine has a way of making you feel at ease, allowing you to relax and get the most out of your sessions. It is amazing how calm and restored I feel after my visit.

 


Corrine is amazing! She spent so much time getting to know me and my needs. I felt like I was the most important client and when talking about your health that is so important. She explained each step of the process before so I knew what to expect. The room is incredibly welcoming and comfortable. I cannot wait to go back and continue my treatment plan!
