At least in part. Docs were telling me bone on bone lumbars but at the last visit they weren't saying that. A lot of bone on bone but at at least one junction doc said "this one not too bad". Now, I am also taking bone building and muscle "controlling" Chinese herbs along with my regular acupuncture. "Regular" is the key - if you want to be active with an aging body REGULAR care is the key. Or, just give it up and become sedentary.

More on heart attacks and pessimism: don't block your heart qi and blood!
I'm still reeling from the Harvard review stating that optimists are 50% LESS likely to suffer that first heart attack. It has really made me think about the negative impact that certain emotions can have on our bodies and I talk w/ my patients about it every day. Pessimism, worry, sadness - they all stagnate the chest. You can feel it! Your chest feels tight, tears or angst or anxiety want to be expressed but aren't. That feeling is, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the qi and blood stagnation around the heart. How bad for us!! That is a feeling that I will try to avoid for the rest of my life because I know how important it is for our hearts to have continuous qi and blood flow. Think about it: our hearts work continuously. Our heart never gets a break - never. That continuous creation of life force requires flow, nourishment, calm ability to function which is negatively impacted by the stagnation that emotions like worry and doubt cause.
ONE OF THE GOALS OF ACUPUNCTURE: to minimize the negative impact of stress, emotions, environmental toxins, etc. on your body. Call today for an appointment if you need to relax, destress, detox, get well, improve your digestive health, have fertility challenges, pain, or other health or emotional issues. 303-947-6224. www.AcupunctureWoman.com
INSURANCE BILLING: Not all Denver acupuncturists accept insurance. However, I understand the financial importance of allowing patients to pay through their insurer. We work with all insurance carriers that offer acupuncture benefits. We process all the paperwork and deal with the insurance companies. As a Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I want to allow my patients to concentrate on one thing: healing.

Need more defense against the effects of stress?: Heart health and optimism
A Harvard U review of the literature found the most optimistic people had half the risk of a first heart attack when compared to the least optimistic. A 50% reduction in risk!!!
Allergies? Acupuncture and herbs work!
Kind of a nice video about acupuncture and allergies. I use a dynamite herbal formula for allergies and really 100% of my patients who take it report great results. And, the patient shows us that it doesn't hurt!! (or it shouldn't anyway if your practitioner is a good needler and believes in gentle treatment).
If your allergies are bothering you, call 303-947-6224 or email DrMLucas@AcupunctureWoman.com.

I've been telling you ... knee pain? Acupuncture works! Research supports this.
Knee pain - pre and post surgery even - acupuncture works! All orthopedic surgeons and PTs should be referring to Chinese Medicine practitioners (in my opinion).
