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. 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.

Acupuncture in Bellingham

At 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.

What Does Acupuncture Treat? 

Personalized treatment plans are available based on your condition.

Headaches can be triggered by my many different factors including muscle tension, stress, and hormones, just to name a few.  Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be effective in relieving or eliminating headaches. If you've been suffering from headaches it is time to try something new.  

A year ago I fell 10 feet onto my back. Since then each day I would wake up with back pain on one side. Every morning for a year I have monitored my back, conscious of a flare up which has happened many times. It was Jessica who said "you are too young to be accepting this for the rest of your life." Until then I considered myself fortunate to "get away" with just muscle tissue damage. I have an aversion to needles and there is some slight pain, however with 10 needles in your back it will surprise you to experience total relaxation.    I wanted to pass these words on as I had reservations. It was Jessica's words that convinced me to try. I had accepted my accident had permanently damaged my body. With this mindset I found myself with tiny needles in my back to repair the damaged tissue. After 3 visits  I don't wake up with pain anymore. Seems too good to be true.  Thanks to Jessica

Pain is something we have all suffered from at some point. Acupuncture can help acute and long standing conditions. If your pain is lingering it is time to take action. It doesn't matter how long  you have had the condition; individual treatment plans focus on helping you reach your goals and return you to a pain-free life. 

Neurological Conditions including pain, numbness, tingling, burning, hot, or cold sensations can often be treated by acupuncture. These can be sudden onset or chronic issues that have been going on for a long time.
