Services
Orthopedic acupuncture works by gently reprogramming the body through the nervous system. This process starts at the soft tissue level, where muscles, tendons, and fascia communicate through a complex neural network. By releasing tight bands of muscle and allowing tendons to lengthen, it helps the body unwind, relax, and restore natural movement—reducing or eliminating pain.
The treatment is both gentle and effective, making it a supportive option for a wide range of conditions. During and after a session, many patients experience a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. This calm state plays an important role in healing—when the nervous system is free from tension, the body can focus its energy on repair and recovery.
In many cases, noticeable pain relief occurs within 24–48 hours after treatment. Orthopedic acupuncture can be beneficial for both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions.
Where East Meets West: How acupuncture Works
Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture activates the body’s endorphin system and lowers blood pressure. The procedure is painless; most patients only feel the mild sensation of a light electrical current. Gentle electric pulses can also regenerate damaged tissue.

Cupping
Cupping is the practice of using suction cups to loosen muscles and encourage blood flow; it is used in combination with an acupuncture treatment, but can also be used alone. Cupping is used to relieve pain (stiff muscles), and is generally used on the neck and back but also elsewhere on the body. Cupping is a deep-tissue therapy, so toxins can be released. After a cupping treatment the area on the body that was cupped can turn a variety of colors, this is a normal part of the therapy so no need to be worried. This sometimes creates soreness after the treatment, so it is advised to drink plenty of water afterward.
Women's Health
Issues like period pain, endometriosis, PCOS, fertility challenges, and menopause struggles are no longer seen as inevitable aspects of womanhood. Instead, acupuncture offers a gentle yet effective approach for supporting hormonal health and overall well-being throughout every stage of life. Using the principles of Chinese Medicine, which treats the body and mind as an interconnected system, acupuncture helps you align with your natural cycles and achieve optimal wellness.
Whether you’re in the early stages of family planning, undergoing IVF or IUI, or managing reproductive health issues, acupuncture provides comprehensive care tailored to your needs. Research supports its positive impact on fertility. Studies show that when combined with Western medicine, acupuncture can double the odds of conception. For women undergoing IVF, adding acupuncture increases the likelihood of becoming pregnant by 60% compared to IVF alone.
This is achieved by regulating the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian (HPO) Axis, a crucial element in addressing reproductive concerns. Acupuncture also helps regulate the menstrual cycle, improve egg quality, enhance the uterine lining, and boost blood flow to reproductive organs. Additionally, it eases stress linked to fertility issues, improves sperm quality, and reduces the risk of miscarriage.
While Western medicine often focuses on pregnancy and routine screenings, acupuncture at Aspen Acupuncture takes a holistic approach to women's health. It addresses a broad range of issues including perimenopause, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, PMS, endometriosis, fibroids, cysts, and PCOS. Acupuncture also provides relief from common symptoms such as headaches, migraines, bloating, fatigue, hormonal acne, night sweats, and hot flashes. For PMS, acupuncture alleviates mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, and insomnia. During menopause, acupuncture corrects underlying imbalances, ensuring a smoother, more comfortable transition.
At Aspen Acupuncture, women receive individualized care that respects the unique demands of each phase of life, with a goal to restore balance and promote lasting wellness.
Dermatology
Chinese medicine has also made significant strides in dermatology, particularly for skin conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as acne. Hormonal acne, often triggered by fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, can be stubborn and difficult to treat with conventional methods alone. Acupuncture, in combination with herbal medicine, has been shown to balance hormones and improve skin health from within. By promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting detoxification, Chinese medicine helps clear acne and other skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. This approach treats not just the surface symptoms but addresses the root cause, ensuring long-lasting improvement. For women struggling with skin issues, acupuncture provides a natural, effective solution for clear and healthy skin.
At Aspen Acupuncture & Integrative Health, women's health is a central focus, with treatments designed to address the root causes of common hormonal imbalances and reproductive health concerns.
Pelvic Floor Health
Acupuncture can be a powerful tool in supporting pelvic floor health, addressing a wide range of issues such as pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, and postpartum recovery. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting the bladder, uterus, and bowel, and when these muscles become weak, tense, or imbalanced, it can lead to significant discomfort and dysfunction. Acupuncture works by improving blood flow, release tension, to the pelvic region. This helps reduce inflammation, relax overly tight muscles, and strengthen weakened areas, promoting healing and functional recovery.

Questions to Ask Your Provider
Medicare coverage for acupuncture; Medicare Secondary Insurance; Medicare Supplemental Insurance Medicare has approved acupuncture for low back pain but services must be provided in a primary care practice and submitted under an MDs license. At this time, an acupuncturist cannot submit claims directly to Medicare. This is because acupuncturists are not approved to be Medicare providers yet.
Secondary Medicare plans are different. An acupuncturist can submit insurance claims to secondary Medicare plans. Secondary plans will cover what Medicare won’t cover. Blue Cross and Blue Shield are examples of this, but make sure that your card says Secondary.
Supplemental insurance plans do not cover acupuncture. Supplemental plans will only cover services that Medicare covers. Supplemental plans pay the remainder of the claim after Medicare pays for their portion. If Medicare doesn’t cover a service, supplemental insurance will also not cover the service. Humana is an example of this.
Your card will say Supplemental. Some Blue Cross Blue Shield plans have supplemental coverage instead of secondary coverage so make sure to check your card. If you have an additional Medicare insurance plan, take a look at your card and see if it says Secondary or Supplemental. If it says Secondary then call your insurance plan and ask if you
have acupuncture benefits.
