Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a tool that helps to restore the smooth flow of qi (chee). By inserting and manipulating needles at specific points on the body, the body is more balanced and its innate ability to heal itself is promoted.
Chinese Medicine is more than just acupuncture. To see the other therapies we can include in your treatment, please see our services page.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
Yes. Acupuncture is used by millions of Americans every year.
Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners are required to undergo extensive education, including detailed study of human anatomy and training in Clean Needle Technique.
The practitioners at Cloud Gate Acupuncture & Healing Arts have passed comprehensive national board examinations administered by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and maintain licenses in both Colorado and California.
Only pre-sterilized, disposable, single-use needles are used in our clinic to ensure your complete safety.
What Can Acupuncture Treat?
Acupuncture works by activating the body's own healing powers, so it can be beneficial for many health conditions.
