IMPORTANT NOTICE:  Due to concerns over spread of Coronavirus I have decided to remain closed at this time. We will reassess as conditions change. Any patient who was seen in the last 3 weeks of business is on a notification list when the office reopens. If you would like to be added to this list please use the form on the contact page to send me the request.  I realize this an inconvenience, but Washington has gone to great lengths to control spread of this virus and I feel I must participate as well. I will continue to update my webpage as things evolve.  Thank you for understanding. 

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
