Alpine Acupuncture

Alpine Acupuncture is a sanctuary where individuals can find balance and healing in their lives. Our team, led by Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Chinese Herbalist, Carleton Magus, is dedicated to providing a safe and effective environment for our patients to overcome pain and achieve overall well-being.

About Our Acupuncturist

Carleton Magus, the acupuncturist on staff, has a profound understanding of the Balance Method of Acupuncture developed by Richard Teh-Fu Tan, O.M.D., L.Ac. This approach is based on the I Jing, an ancient Chinese philosophical book that is over 3,000 years old. Carleton's gentle clinic manner and keen listening skills make him an excellent practitioner who takes the time to understand each patient's unique needs and circumstances.

Services We Provide

At Alpine Acupuncture, we offer a variety of services tailored to meet the specific needs of our patients. These include:

• Acupuncture: Our primary service, acupuncture, is a highly effective form of traditional Chinese medicine that aims to restore balance and harmony to the body. Using the Balance Method, Carleton treats patients of all ages with a wide range of conditions, from arthritis and migraines to fibromyalgia and sports/work injuries.

• Chinese Herbal Medicine: As an integral part of our treatment plans, Chinese Herbal Medicine deepens the effectiveness of acupuncture and allows patients to take the benefits of acupuncture home with them. Our well-stocked Chinese Herbal Dispensary ensures that each patient receives a custom formula based on their individual signs, symptoms, and needs.

• Gua Sha: This ancient Chinese technique is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and aims to promote the free flow of qi (energy) throughout the body. By gently scraping specific areas of the body with a smooth-edged tool, we can help to alleviate inflammation and stagnant qi, leading to improved overall health and well-being.

• Detoxification: Life can be incredibly stressful, and it's essential to take time to heal both the body and mind. At Alpine Acupuncture, we offer detoxification treatments designed to help individuals restore balance and promote healthy living.

About Acupuncture and Modern Research

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that has been practiced for thousands of years. It is based on the principle that the body has an intricate network of pathways, or meridians, through which the life-giving energy known as "qi" flows. By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points along these meridians, practitioners can stimulate the body's natural healing processes and promote health and balance.

Modern research has shown that acupuncture can have a profound impact on the body's physiological processes, including pain relief, stress reduction, and immune system enhancement. It is a safe and effective treatment option for a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain and stress to women's health issues and digestive problems.
