Online booking has been reopened for both new and returning patients.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
I hope this message finds you all safe and healthy. I wanted to let you know Bellingham Orthopedic Acupuncture is open for all patients at this time. I want anyone who would like to come in to carefully weigh the benefit against the potential risk before seeking an appointment. I am going to great lengths to create a safe environment for those who need to come in, but at this point all human contact poses some risk. Please consider this carefully.
At this time I am asking patients self monitor for symptoms. I will take your temperature and confirm that you are asymptomatic at the office door, but please call ahead to reschedule if you are feeling sick. Please be honest. There is no judgment and even if your symptoms don’t seem like Covid-19 I ask that you be considerate and stay home. If I am experiencing any symptoms I will cancel appointments until I am asymptomatic for several days. Patients will be expected to wear a mask. This can be a simple homemade mask or any other mask you have available. I have masks available at the office BUT these are in limited supply and I expect patients to make a good effort to procure your own face covering before using one of mine. A simple mask can be made out of a handkerchief folded with rubber bands around the ears. There are many videos on line to help guide you in creating your own mask. I will be wearing a mask as well.
Upon arrival to the building you will need to wash your hands before entering my office. I will meet you at door to my office in the foyer. There will be no waiting in the waiting area. Patients are staggered to allow cleaning and no contact between patients. My office assistant is working from home. I ask that you not bring your spouses or children, but only those necessary to the treatment and your safety. Please arrive on time and wait in your car or outside if you are early. The treatments rooms have been reduced to the necessities to limit surface contamination and simplify cleaning. Please be respectful and maintain a safe distance from anyone you see around the building. This is especially important as more businesses are opening up.
I will be fine tuning these protocols as I see how these systems are working. I would like to hear comments, concerns, or feedback as we are navigating this system. I am happy to answer any questions I can over the phone.

Acupuncture in BellinghamAt Bellingham Orthopedic Acupuncture we have a passion for understanding pain. We focus on orthopedic acupuncture because it works. Utilizing traditional acupuncture techniques combined with modern motor point, trigger point, and orthopedic testing, orthopedic acupuncture is a perfect blend of Chinese and Western medical perspectives. A thorough and layered knowledge of anatomy allows us to address the source of musculoskeletal pain conditions. We like to use a combination of acupuncture, cupping, and body work as well as an acupuncture based TENS unit to tailor individual treatments for each client.
Acupuncturists train for 3-5 years, far above and beyond the weekend courses offered in dry needling for other health care practitioners. We offer safe non-surgical options for all types of pain conditions, both recent and chronic. An acupuncturist studies anatomy in a hands on and multi dimensional way that includes being able to feel almost every muscle in the body and understand how they fit together. This intimate knowledge of muscles, nerves, bones, and the vast network of connections between them helps us better understand the source of your pain. If you feel frustrated by chronic pain or a new injury, acupuncture is a great solution. We work well with practitioners of all types. Book in for a free 15 minute consultation so I can answer all your questions in person.
