At Brave Roots Chiropractic in Fort Collins, CO, we’re proud to offer acupuncture—a time-tested, holistic treatment that’s been practiced for more than 2,400 years. While modern medicine often emphasizes surgical procedures and prescription drugs, acupuncture continues to stand out as a safe, effective, and natural solution for a wide range of health conditions.
Whether used as a stand-alone therapy or integrated into your chiropractic care plan, acupuncture helps accelerate healing, reduce pain, and promote whole-body wellness. Millions of people around the world benefit from acupuncture every year—and you could be one of them.
Acupuncture is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves gently inserting ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to balance the flow of energy—also known as qi. These points are linked to various physiological systems, and stimulation can help regulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
While its roots trace back to stone tools and ancient texts like The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, acupuncture is now widely accepted and practiced in hospitals, clinics, and private wellness centers across the globe—including right here at Brave Roots Chiropractic.
Acupuncture points have been found to influence major systems in the body, including the nervous system, immune system, and endocrine system. When specific points are stimulated, your body releases neurotransmitters, natural painkillers, and hormones that help restore balance and reduce symptoms.
Our patients in Fort Collins report a variety of benefits from acupuncture treatments, including:
If you’ve never had acupuncture before, rest assured—the process is gentle, relaxing, and virtually painless. The needles used are extremely thin and are nothing like the ones used in hospitals. Most patients describe the experience as calming, and many even fall asleep during their session.
Your first visit at our Fort Collins clinic includes a full health history and physical assessment to identify areas of imbalance. From there, we’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
During your session:
Total visit time is typically about one hour. While some people experience immediate relief, others may notice improvement over the next 24–48 hours. Treatment frequency and results will vary based on your condition and how your body responds.
Side effects are rare and usually mild. Some patients may experience minor bruising, lightheadedness, or temporary soreness after their first session. These effects are short-lived and a normal part of your body’s response to healing stimulation.
