Zzzzzzz .... need help getting a good night's sleep?

Having a hard time with sleep?

Did you know that nearly nine million Americans take prescription sleeping pills in order to try to get a good night's sleep? Nine million!!

Prescription drugs that you use to help you sleep don't come risk-free ..... they can be associated with depression, disorientation, sometimes risky behavior like sleepwalking or even sleep driving (!).

Now don't get me wrong,
insomnia comes with risks too - increased risk of depression, heart disease, infection and even the risk of obesity because of a diminished ability to make good quality food choices.

You can now go here

I now offer my services in Littleton ONE DAY A WEEK so make your appointment now! 
My office is in the suites of Littleton Internal Medicine Associates.

Here’s what people are saying about Dr. Martha Lucas, L.Ac. who for over 15 years has been using Chinese medicine to help people feel and look better:
Best in Denver: I have been to several other practitioners over the course of 9 years and Dr. Lucas is the best acupuncturist in Denver!

What a life saver!: After getting a full work up from a neurologist and being prescribed medications that we were uncomfortable giving our child, we were referred to Dr. Lucas. What a life saver! Our daughter is now feeling much relief and is able to go about her days. We couldn’t be happier with the treatments and Dr. Lucas’ willingness to explain everything. 

Sinuses: My sinuses were a mess. But after the needles and Dr. Lucas did their work I’m much, much better!

She gets results! - I’ve been seeing Dr. Lucas for about 5 years for all kinds of needs. I HIGHLY recommend her services! She’s great, knowledgable, and gets results.

Results surpass those of western medicine: I have been getting great results from Martha’s work. I am a disabled vet and her work has surpassed much of the regular western medicine I have experienced. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Gentle with the needles: I have been seeing Dr. Lucas for a bout 3 years. I love and feel a sense of calmness after each session. She is very gentle with the needles and can tell when you are not doing well through her your pulses (pulse diagnosis is her specialty). I highly recommend going to her for everything; it is well worth it. She is a very compassionate person.

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. "I specialize in 3 things because I believe that it is important to have focus in order to do your best work and get people back on track quickly.  I want to help you have babies and excellent women's health, get you out playing basketball or football or in that triathlon sooner and stronger, and keep your skin looking its best!!!"

Different kinds of acupuncture - choose carefully.

Just so you know, what this article says about dry needling is accurate except that TCM practitioners learned dry needling/trigger point needling/ashi needling in our four years of Chinese medical school. And, we know how the points that are used during dry needling access the rest of the points & channels.

Please recycle!

This is a photo of a "sculpture" that was made in Istanbul to demonstrate how many bottles are thrown away hour after hour. Crazy.
Reduce - if you don't need it, don't buy it.
Reuse - if you must buy it, buy something that can be used more than once.
Recycle - put it in the bin!!

Works for products but your body is the only one you're getting so take care of it. Prevent disease, prevent pain - prevention is the foundation of Chinese medicine.  Get acupuncture, take herbs, stay healthy.

From Dr. Lucas - WHY AM I ABLE TO GET YOU SUCH GOOD RESULTS 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 DIAGNOSIS. Take it from someone who teaches Chinese medicine students from all over the world - the proper diagnosis leads to more effective treatment.

On the other hand - got 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 ….

Needle little relief?

If your pre-Autumn yard work has your back hurting - and you needle little relief - give me a call 303.947.6224 or schedule an appointment here http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30236193?bookingSourceId=1000.



Back pain has been studied for years and studies conclude that acupuncture is an effective treatment for it. The thing is, it is better to get treated at the beginning of your pain rather than waiting until it becomes chronic and you're looking into surgery. Plus, I work with an excellent Structural Yoga Practitioner whose expert teaching and therapy has kept my chronic back pain away for a long time. Do it! - If you back is hurting, let's get you feeling good again.
