Got high blood pressure? Acupuncture works for that!

That's right, acupuncture effectively treats high blood pressure/hypertension (HTN).  Check out the following article - it's not the only study that demonstrates how well acupuncture works in the treatment of HTN:

I specialize in three things that will improve your life because I believe that it is important to have focus in order to do your best work and get people back on track quickly.  1) I want to help you have babies, 2) get you out playing basketball or football or in that triathlon sooner and stronger, and 3) keep you looking your best - vibrant and with that young glow!!!


How am I able to get such good results for YOU?  Because I can give you an expert diagnosis to determine the cause of your symptoms or disease and then treat it. 

Chinese medicine treatment works best when your practitioner KNOWS HOW TO MAKE A CORRECT DIAGNOSIS.  Too many acupuncturists treat symptoms not cause because they don't know how to take pulses or use other Chinese medicine diagnostic tools properly. Prescription Chinese medicine does not work.  Take it from someone who teaches Chinese medicine students from all over the world - the proper diagnosis leads to more effective treatment.

1. Having difficulty conceiving or managing your reproductive health even after you are pregnant?  Acupuncture works for that.  I see both men and women about reproductive health AND the declines that happen with aging (like resurrecting the flagging libido).

2. ATHLETES: if your extreme workout is getting harder or you are injured, I'll get you back in the game asap.

3. Getting a few wrinkles?  Acupuncture works for that!  Click here to schedule your FREE consultation with the internationally known age control expert Dr. Martha Lucas, L.Ac.: DrMLucas@AcupunctureWoman.com.  Your cosmetic and anti-aging needs can be met with Chinese medicine - the true anti-aging medicine.  The Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture has been featured in O Magazine and is taught to practitioners all over the world who want to offer the patients a safe, effective alternative to injections and plastic surgery.  Use the most natural thing there is for age control: your own body's energy!!

Or, are you a person in good health?  Acupuncture/Chinese medicine works to maintain that.  But if you don't feel the best that you can or as good as you think you should, call me at 303-947-6224 or email me DrMLucas@AcupunctureWoman.com.  Even though I feel great, I receive acupuncture every other week whether I need it or not …. 

INSURANCE BILLING: your acupuncture or other Chinese Medicine treatments may be covered.  As a service to you, we find out whether or not your health insurance covers acupuncture and our other therapies and when it does we bill your insurance.  There are plans that cover it, some pay for unlimited visits or enough visits for you to come every other week and be the healthiest employee in your company! Why not be healthier?  That's what the insurance company realizes - preventing surgeries, the use of expensive pain killers, and your having to have medical procedures saves them (and you!) money.  And even preventing the common cold saves your employer money.

If your insurance covers acupuncture why aren't you receiving it?!?

If your insurance pays for acupuncture why aren't you receiving it?  Chinese medicine/acupuncture will help you:

How much training does the person who is practicing acupuncture on you have?

Does your acupuncturist take your pulses and give you a clear explanation of what is going on with your qi?  Can he/she explain Chinese medicine and the benefit of treatment to you in English?

Who is your acupuncturist?
+ a Practitioner of Chinese medicine who successfully completed 4 years of training in Traditional Chinese medicine, is nationally certified, and licensed in the state of CO?
+ an MD or DO who completed 300 hours of training (sometimes more, sometimes less)?
+ a Chiropractor who completed a 100 hour program (some certainly have more training than that!)
+ a physical therapist who is doing dry needling which requires a weekend of training. Yes, a whole weekend (or 2) of training. Fully trained acupuncturists/Practitioners of Chinese medicine went to school for 4 years to learn what is now called dry needling and what we call ashi needling (aka acupuncture).  Why is dry needling acupuncture? Because the points that are used are frequently acupuncture points or are on acupuncture meridians and stimulation of them can affect your qi/energy in a way that requires a more training than a weekend to understand or resolve when energetic patterns are accessed.

This is not to say that any or all of these treatments by those other than Practitioners of Chinese medicine/Acupuncturists can't be successful.  But, if you have internal medicine issues =
serious chronic illness
are trying to get pregnant
are going through treatment for cancer
have acid reflux and other digestive issues
have conditions that modern medicine doesn't treat very effectively (migraines, hot flashes, PMS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus etc.)
then take the time to look into the training of the person who is needling you.

Recent testimonial/referral from one of my patients:
Martha, here is a referral that I sent to a friend who asked me to recommend an acupuncturist; I absolutely recommend you!  
"Martha is a highly trained acupuncturist. She has the wonderful ability to understand the underlying subtle aspects of one's system. I highly recommend Martha, she is a phenomenal woman." 
Bio: Dr. Martha Lucas, L.Ac. is an internationally recognized expert in Chinese medicine for pulse diagnosis (internal medicine and emotional health issues) and Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture.  She can be reached at DrMLucas@AcupunctureWoman.com or 303-947-6224.

Another new acupuncture baby arrives and a story about others. Acupuncture works for that!

Today I see one of my fertility patients - one week after her son was born :) - to help get her body recovered and revived.  Another patient is due in mid-December. I just visited one of my patients and her 3 month old daughter.  I am taking my own family's fertility success story (my 6 year old grandson) to Moab for a few days. Fertility success stories abound here at my Chinese medicine/acupuncture clinic.
Chinese medicine works to treat fertility challenges in men and women when you see out a specialist in the field.  My specialty is excellent, advanced diagnostics using your pulses to see how your qi is flowing (or not), how strong your qi is (or not), and how to build a fertile environment for conception.
Having conception or menstruation issues?  Call me.  Acupuncture works for that.

A nice story about acupuncture and conception:

Struggling with weight issues? Acupuncture works for that. See age control expert Dr. Martha Lucas, L.Ac.

Obesity is one thing that ages your body prematurely. Worried about wrinkling, arthritis pain, sleep issues, etc. etc. and you're a little overweight?  Well, you probably should be worried as being overweight carries a huge potential for negative health experiences.  The link below talks about obesity and the call to have it recognized as a disease.

I am an age control specialist. That is, I use the true anti-aging medicine (Chinese medicine) to keep your qi strong and working optimally so that your body doesn't prematurely age. (and if it does I can fix that with Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture!)

Extreme athlete?  Call me to help preserve your qi!!

Let me help you have the vital, happy life that you deserve!

Acupuncture does not hurt - or at least it doesn't have to. Ask your practitioner!

I tell my new patients that I am both a good and a gentle needler so acupuncture doesn't hurt.  But occasionally someone tells me that they've had it before and it hurt .... a lot.  It just happened.  A patient of mine went to see someone else because he was in her insurance network (she didn't realize that I could bill her out of network benefits) and she said he was a jerk.  I was stunned; don't like to hear someone representing your medicine referred to as a "jerk" and when I inquired further it was because he was hurting her with the needling and when she complained he told her "it's good that it hurts".  Well, not for her and not necessary.  So she's back w/ me now, is receiving effective gentle needling based upon pulse diagnosis, and I'm billing her insurance out of network benefits.  I explained to her that the other practitioner isn't a "jerk", he just believes that acupuncture has to hurt to be effective.  It's true; some schools/instructors/mentors teach that we should use thick needles and make the person say that it hurts.  I don't agree with that perspective or theory of treatment.  It is my belief and experience that when you are a good diagnostician who can feel the changes in the pulses (i.e., qi) you don't have to check with the patient to see if he/she is feeling anything.  I tell people that you don't have to "beat up the qi".

I just wanted you to be aware that there are different perspectives or theories of treatment and it's something to ask your prospective practitioner about.  There are those who believe that acupuncture has to hurt, should hurt, can hurt, and those who do not.  Your choice.

Having libido or performance issues? Antidepressants squashing your sex drive? Acupuncture works for that!

Having libido or performance issues?  Antidepressants squashing your sex drive?  Acupuncture works for that!

Chinese medicine addresses challenges, illness, and symptoms from the point of view of helping your body rectify your qi (energy) and get your body functioning at vibrant levels.  It's the true anti-aging medicine because it can help your body maintain health and therefore not be ravaged by illness.  Illness takes a lot out of our bodies; it uses energy that could be put to better use.  Let me help you maintain your good health or change your qi situation so that your energy is being used to focus on good health rather than illness!

Have problems with your digestion? Acupuncture works for that!

Have digestive issues?  Acupuncture works for that!

Having digestion that works well is key to good health.  Digestion is how you make your qi (energy).  When you wake up tired in the morning that is a sign that your digestion is having some problems.  If you are having any digestive discomfort atl all - bloating, acid reflux, feeling too full, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, "heartburn" - come see me so that we can get your body making good qi again.

Got good health? Maintain it!


As stated in a text dated 120 B.C., "a skillful doctor cures illness where there is no sign of disease and thus the disease never comes".

I know that we in the West are not used to doing that ... going to see a medical care practitioner when we're feeling great. We've been trained to let symptoms develop and then go to the doctor.  But wouldn't you like to maintain your good quality of life?  Chinese medicine/acupuncture can help you do that.


Got good health?  If not, call me, 303-947-6224 or email DrMLucas@AcupunctureWoman.com.
