I trust Michael Lay, L.Ac. for all of my Denver acupuncture needs. He helps keep me in the game.
As a masseuse, it is very important to keep my body in proper health. Michael has been the link to help me obtain that state of strength and health, not only in my hands and forearms, but also in my entire being. Thanks Michael.
Within the first few visits my pain had decreased significantly. Now I am pain free and never had to have surgery…
Michael was great to work with during my training. He truly helped me perform my best and recover from injuries more quickly.
I have dealt with low back pain for the past 10 years off and on. I had talked to many doctors and finally met with an orthopedic surgeon who suggested surgery. I told him I wanted to try everything before that. He recommended me to Michael and I started treatment. Within the first few visits my pain had decreased significantly. Now I am pain free and never had to have surgery. I go for follow ups about once every month and it keeps me pain free.
What Is Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a primary health care modality that has flourished in China for over 2,500 years and is widely used throughout Asia and in Europe. It is considered one of the newest primary health care provisions in this country.
Acupuncture has grown as both western and oriental health care providers, medical researchers, and the public experience it, integrate it in their health care and spread its benefits.
Far more than a technique of inserting tiny thread like needles along meridian lines of the body, acupuncture’s complex system of diagnostic corollaries take into consideration you as a whole, not just isolated symptoms.
Orthopedic acupuncture and sports acupuncture focus heavily on western anatomy. For many years acupuncturists have been performing what is now called dry needling with fantastic results. Needling the trigger and motor points of muscles is vital in correcting these tissues and has been done for many years.
Conditions Treated
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is most widely known for its effectiveness in treating pain and headache. The world health organization has also found it effective in treating a variety of illnesses. While we focus primarily on orthopedic and sports acupuncture we also want to treat the individual as well. During each visit we also work on other issues we may feel to be out of balance, thus helping you recover from your injuries more quickly.
