If you’ve ever suffered from chronic pain, you know how much it affects every aspect of your life. You can’t do the things you want to do. You don’t sleep well. It affects your mood, even your outlook on life. There’s a certain desperation that sets in, wondering if you’ll ever be back to normal. […]
Well, it’s back. The Rona. Vid. Sars-COv19. It was nice to let the pandemic fade into the background for a while. As predicted, the virus has mutated again and there is a surge beginning all across the U.S., including here in Colorado. (This is a long one…look for bold print for highlights if you’re […]

In addition to an awful headache, you might have nausea, vomiting, see flashing lights, or have parts of your vision become blurry. You can be light […]
Has anyone ever told you they tried acupuncture once and it didn’t work? Well, that’s because just one acupuncture treatment may make you feel better for a day or two, but as magical as acupuncture can be, a series of treatments is needed to achieve deep and lasting results.

It is officially Spring! And we are well into Spring allergy season. That runny nose and nasal congestion may not be a cold, it could be allergies.
