Acupuncture Plus

Carol and her staff are absolutely fantastic. I have suffered from herniated discs and a lot list of other issues and Carol gets right to the issue and solves it. I wasted my time going to another acupunturist when I first moved to Denver and wish I would have found Carol sooner.
She has an incredible bedside manner and works with your western meds (for me thyroid medicine) instead of trying to force you onto eastern only. Her approach and style are amazing and she gets results.

I would have been less surprised if my (medical)Doctor had said I had to go see a witch Doctor. And to bring my own bat blood and cow eyeballs. But he did not just recommend rather prescribed acupuncture.
I’m a Western Medicine girl. Have a headache? Take advil. Break a leg? Set it in a cast. It all seems to work just fine. So for me to have to have acupuncture was a lot to bite off. But there are studies which suggest that acupuncture does in fact work in some cases. So off I went.
The first session included an introduction to acupuncture. Just to get me accusomed to the idea of having needles poked in to all sorts of places, Carol started with my ear. There was a cracking sound as the needle went through the cartilege, akin to having my ears piereced. Did it feel good? No. Did I like it? Let’s just say I will not be going out for acupuncture for my next birthday.
Then it was on the the real deal. I laid on my stomach on a massage table with wind-​chime music in the background– and was falsely lulled in to Zen-​dom until the pricking started. But there’s more! I got hooked up to this crazy machine that pulses an electrical current through different regions of my body, in this case, my lower back and legs. It was a twtichy crampy sort of sensation and not particularly comfortable.
They have lots of product here. Bottles of supplements, skin care products, stuff you might be in to, if you’re less of a Western medicine sort. They also have People and Us magazines, which is always a plus. In an old Victorian-​era building with large bright rooms of acutorture. Actually it wasn’t that bad, if you have to go. Just kind of strange.
