If back, neck, joint pain, or a sports injury is limiting your work, training, or daily life, I offer individualized care at Backupuncture of Denver. My focus includes musculoskeletal pain, orthopedic concerns, tendonitis, sports injuries, headaches, TMJ, and active recovery. I look beyond the painful area to assess how the spine, muscles, and movement patterns may contribute to your symptoms. Whether you are managing a recent injury or persistent pain, treatment is tailored to your history, activities, goals, and response to care, with a practical plan designed around the way your body moves and the demands of your everyday life.
Treatment may combine acupuncture with dry needling, electroacupuncture, cupping, gua sha, neuromuscular activation, and spinal analysis. When appropriate, I may also use craniosacral therapy or Chinese herbal medicine. Each visit is adapted to the individual, with clear communication about the approach, priorities, treatment plan, and next steps.
I am a Colorado-licensed acupuncturist with a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and sports and orthopedic training. I studied at Brown University, the New England School of Acupuncture, and Pacific College of Health and Science. I see patients in Denver and offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss whether the practice may be a fit.

During your first visit, I'll conduct a comprehensive health assessment, discuss your medical history & perform a physical examination. The acupuncture involves gentle needling at specific points based on meridian & abdominal palpation & pulse diagnosis. I start with Japanese needling without sensation. If treating spine/structure issues, I reassess the spine as I use points that fix alignment.
