Will my insurance cover acupuncture?

I accept Anthem~Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance at this time.

Insurance coverage varies from company to company. Contact your insurance provider to learn what kind of care is covered. Many times it's easier to be provided with a "superbill" that you submit to your insurance company. And if they accept it, they will reimburse you for your treatments. If you have a "flex plan" or a "health savings account", you should be able to pay through those accounts. For some services, like smoking cessation, employers are often willing to provide financial assistance.

I accept all major credit cards, cash and checks.

Herbs

Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced for at least 2,500 years. Chinese herbal formulas come in various forms such as pills, tablets, liquid tinctures or teas.Chinese herbs work effectively because your practitioner acknowledges that you are not merely your disease. Unlike western pharmaceutical medicine and western herbal practices which primarily treat symptoms, practitioners of Chinese medicine design a unique herbal formula and administration protocol especially for each patient that changes as the patient's body's health changes.Many prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs only treat symptoms and have side effects. When taken under the supervision of a trained practitioner, Chinese herbs have no side effects and treat the root cause of disease as well as the symptom. When patients are treated at the root level, symptoms do not readily return.Before taking herbs notify your practitioner if: * You are allergic to substances such as wheat, seafood or mushrooms. * You are taking prescription medication. Some herbs may reduce the efficacy of important prescription medicines. * You are taking other herbs or minerals. * You are vegetarian, because some formulas contain animal products.Treatments with herbs only and no acupuncture are available at Fiery Sage HealingBefore taking any herbs internally, I urge the public to seek advice from a trained, qualified herbalist rather than self-administer herbs. A qualified practitioner is trained to understand the indications and contraindications of herbal administration. Just because a product is natural does not always mean it is safe. Herbs should be taken in specifically measured doses and many herbs should not be ingested for prolonged periods of time.
atherapy

According to the principles of auricular therapy, each area of the ear corresponds to a different anatomical portion of the body. A large number of sites have been identified on the ear which become spontaneously tender or otherwise react in the presence of imbalance or injury elsewhere in the body. These sites are reportedly consistent from one individual to the next. Stimulation of these ear points in time exerts certain therapeutic effects on those parts of the body with which they are associated. Auricular therapy is not only effective in the treatment of a wide range of common diseases; it can also be used with good results in the treatment of difficult emotional states.When there is an imbalance of the physiological equilibrium its point of projection in the ear becomes painful. The therapist then stimulates the painful points of the ear by massage or electrical stimulation.What are the benefits of Auricular therapy?~Activates the meridian which regulates energy flow~Stimulates the internal organs~Improves the circulation in general~Aids in the flow of the lymphatic system~Induces deep relaxation-helps to create peace~Stimulates the brain~Improves the immune system as a prevention measure

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments will vary from person to person, depending on what your are working on. Some people experience immediate relief while others may take months to achieve results. Chronic conditions usually take longer to resolve than acute ones. Plan on a minimum of one month of weekly treatments to see significant changes. There is also a difference in care, from relief to corrective, to maintenance, that will determine the longevity of working on physical conditions.

Studies show that it takes 21-28 days for your brain to create a new groove, or neural network for change to take place. If you are working on breaking a mental habit or thought pattern, expect to have weekly treatments for a month. Jennifer will evaluate progress to see if more treatments will be needed to obtain your goal.

She also recommends monthly visits for health maintenance or seasonal "tune ups" depending on your condition.

Qi

What is Qi?

At the core of this ancient medicine is the philosophy that Qi (pronounced "chee") is Life Energy. Depending on your perspective, the terminology can vary. Simply put, it is the same Essence that directs your body to heal itself after being wounded. You do not have to tell your body consciously to scab over and heal, it just happens naturally. Acupuncture taps into this same Essence.

~How does Qi travel?

~What can affect Qi and blood?

qi travel

How does Qi travel?

Qi circulates through the blood, along the blood vessels. There are 14 main channels or vessels throughout the body. Each is connected to specific organs and glands. The vessels are like rivers. Where a river flows, it transports life-giving water that nourishes the land, plants and people. In the same way, our vessels transport life-giving Qi & Blood to nourish and energize every cell, organ, gland, tissue and muscle.

When Qi and Blood flows freely throughout the body, one enjoys good physical, mental and emotional well-being. An obstruction of Qi anywhere in the body is like a dam, backing up the flow in one area and restricting it in others. This blockage can hinder the distribution of the nourishment that the body requires to function optimally.

qi and blood

What can affect Qi and blood?

Many things influence the quality, quantity and balance of Qi and Blood. Physical and emotional trauma, stress, lack of exercise, overexertion, seasonal changes, diet, accidents, environmental toxins or excessive activity can lead to a blockage or imbalance of Qi and Blood.

Normally, when this imbalance occurs, the body naturally bounces back, returning to a balanced state of health and well-being. When the disruption of Qi and/or Blood is prolonged or excessive, or if the body is in a weakened state, then illness, pain or disease can set in.

prepare tx

How should I prepare for my treatment?

* Most importantly, if this is your first time experiencing hypnosis or ** acupuncture, come with an open mind :)

* Come with any questions you have.

* Wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy access to acupuncture * points. Shorts and a tank top are perfect.

* Do not eat large meals just before or after your visit.

* Do not come too hungry. A light snack before is perfect.

* Refrain from overexertion, working out, drugs or alcohol for up to 6 * hours after the visit.

* Avoid stressful situations. Make time to relax, and be sure to get * plenty of rest. Drink plenty of water.

child

Is acupuncture safe for children?

Yes! Children actually respond more quickly than adults, because their blood flow isn't compromised much yet. If your child has an aversion to needles, there are safe alternatives such as massage, acupressure acupuncture points or the use of an electric point stimulator.

Acupuncture works on animals as well!

hurt

Acupuncture needles are referred to as a "Chinese hair" because the needles are the circumference of a human hair. Jennifer uses a gentle technique, so the treatments are usually painless. After the needle is inserted, you may notice a sensation of tingling, heaviness or the sensation of movement of energy along the body. This experience is referred to as a "qi response". Patients often report feeling relaxed and more grounded after treatments.

What is acu

What is acupuncture and how does it work?
Acupuncture is just one aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine which is a very effective form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this non-invasive medical system to treat and help millions of people get well and stay healthy. It is based on regulating the blood flow that circulates throughout the body in the blood vessels, also known as meridians. Acupuncture also regulates oxygen flow, organ functioning and stimulates the nervous system. Acupuncture points are located along the meridians, as pictured here.When blood flow is unobstructed, then health is maintained,. But once that flow is changed; either obstructed or unregulated, then the whole body system is disrupted and illness will eventually occur. Imagine a river that is either dammed up or becomes a flood, with either of those there is damage caused to the natural flow. In the body that shows up as pain, dysfunction, and eventually disease.Acupuncture stimulates the flow of blood, so that balance can be restored, by inserting very thin needles into the acupoints in combination to address not just the main symptoms but the root cause as well.

Safe

How safe is acupuncture?

Fiery Sage Healing uses single use sterilized disposable needles, so there is virtually no chance of contamination. OSHA (Occupational Safety Health Administration) monitors the practice of acupuncture throughout the United States, as regulated by the federal government. Acupuncture is a safe procedure when treatments are administered by a licensed professional who is board certified by the National Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

Jennifer perceives each client on all levels- physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. She believes the deepest form of healing takes place when a holistic perspective is incorporated.

Treatments are tailored to each client, and many times acupuncture and hypnosis are used in conjunction with one another for the most effective results. She honors each individuals journey and is always open to patient feedback.

hypno Hypnotherapy can help you lose weight, quit smoking, overcome fears, resolve negative emotions and gain an overall sense of peace. Here's how it works:Essentially, our mind is split between the conscious and the subconscious. Hypnosis works with the subconscious mind, which controls 90% of our behavior. It is the storehouse of all of our emotions, memories, beliefs and patterns. The subconscious mind also controls our autonomic functions, such as breathing and our heartbeat. The conscious mind is that part of us that is logical, that can do arithmetic or solve problems. Hypnotherapy is a technique that puts the patient into a relaxed state, which bypasses the conscious mind and goes into the subconscious. If you smoke or overeat, this technique is vital to help change your ways. New, positive and affirming ideas are placed into the subconscious to replace the old, enabling the seed of new growth and habit to form. While the client is in the subconscious state, they are still aware of themselves and are always in control. Relaxation and peace are usually felt throughout the process.Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT):This technique is a psychotherapeutic tool based on a theory that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the bodys energy field and that tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion alters the bodys energy field, restoring it to balance.Reports have shown that many psychological and physical conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, general stress, addictions and phobias can be resolved using this technique.Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP):This technique was created from the connection between neurological processes (neuro), language (linguistic) and behavioral patterns that have been learned through experience (programming). The best way to explain this approach is to refer to the original and most famous example of classical conditioning, as displayed in the Pavlovs Dog Experiment. During his research on the physiology of digestion in dogs, Pavlov noticed that, rather than simply salivating in the presence of meat powder (an innate response to food that he called the unconditioned response), the dogs began to salivate in the presence of the lab technician who normally fed them. From this observation he predicted that, if a particular stimulus in the dogs surroundings were present when the dog was presented with meat powder, then this stimulus would become associated with food and cause salivation on its own. Thus, a stimulus became a conditioned response. We too have stimulus-response conditioning. One might automatically respond with fear when seeing a snake. NLP has the ability to change the response from a particular stimulus. Therefore, one may respond neutrally when seeing a snake after experiencing NLP. This technique works best with phobias and habit disorders.

Cupping Cupping is a very effective method of treatment used for diseases such as coughing, chest congestion, common cold, arthritic pain, muscular pain, stomach-ache, and headache. It is contra-indicated for high- fever, allergic skin conditions or ulcerated sores, area of thin muscle or boney angles and depression and on the back or abdomen of pregnant women. There are many other considerations your practitioner takes into account when deciding if this method is appropriate.How Does Cupping Work?A vacuum is created in a glass "cup" with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol. The cotton ball is ignited and inserted into the cup which will evacuate some air creating a vacuum. The cotton ball is withdrawn and the cup is quickly placed on the skin. The cup is left on for about 5 minutes and may leave a bruise. Sometimes a medium such massage oil is applied to the patient's skin and the practitioner slides the cup along a large body surface such as the back or thigh. This technique is known as sliding cupping and is very beneficial for muscular-skeletal pain and swelling.Is Cupping Painful?Cupping is generally not painful. Some people who suffer from fibromyalgia or Epstein-Barr disease or other chronic muscular disorders or chronic viral diseases may feel some discomfort and should report it to their practitioner. Most patients report significant improvement after a cupping treatment and highly enjoy it!

This year I weighed 16 pounds less than last year! Many thanks for your help with weight loss! You do GREAT work! Much gratitude~ Joanne K. Denver, CO.Jennifer has truly transformed the way I think about therapy. Her gentle yet firm approach to dealing with my needs is exactly what I, the non-believer, needed to become a believer. I was very skeptical going into therapy, but have found a center I didnt know possible. The journey continues, but its reassuring to have a partner to lean on when life gets tough. ~Joe J. Denver, CO.I had been a smoker on and off for about 10 years. After my treatments with Jennifer, my cravings completely went away. I have not smoked in a more than 4 years and the thought never ever even crosses my mind. I am completely over it! ~Tresa H. Arvada, CO.Jennifer has been helping me cope with my divorce, insomnia, and gaining my confidence back.On a recent visit I had terrible diarrhea for about a week that kept me awake all night because I had to go to the bathroom almost every hour.. my stomach was so painful that I would cry. I saw 2 doctors who just gave me prescriptions that did not help. I asked Jennifer for help. She proceeded to put needles around my stomach and some parts of my body. After the session, my pain was gone! I got up and said WOW It's like magic! I don't have the pain anymore. Needless to say I slept good that evening and woke up refreshed. It's a miracle! ~ Connie L. Denver, CO.Hypnotherapy WORKS for smoking cessation!! I have been smoke free for over 7 years with no desire to return. Jennifer is passionate about what she does, and truly cares about helping others and their well being.-Nancy R. Larkspur, CO.I have experienced Jennifer's techniques on five occasions and am particularly impressed with her combination acupuncture/hypnotherapy. I have experienced results with acupuncture regarding back pain that have not been equaled by western medicine, chiropractic, or massage. I believe she is very talented and recommend her highly. -John C. Denver, CO.I'm glad to have this opportunity to sing the praises of Jennifer as my issues were very private. I had been struggling for some time and was not able to conquer my devils alone. Jennifer spent a lot of time getting to know me before beginning any treatment. Over the course of a month, she was able to awaken spirit and confidence that were lurking deep inside me, but had not been properly stirred. Every session began with a recap of how things were going and any changes that she needed to be clued to. Long story short - Jennifer has my wholehearted thanks and support. If you need some gentle urging, go see her! ~ Lynne C. Denver, CO.As a healer, Jennifer has a great sense of how to address the needs of each patient. Whether a persons aches and pains stem from a physical injury or an emotional imbalance, she treats the source of the problem as well as the pain itself. Jennifer spends a great deal of time evaluating each person with whom she works, and devises the best approach and method for addressing that individual. -Jason C. Denver, CO.I have known Jennifer for over 7 years now. I was enlightened by her spirituality and healing touch. Jennifer has healed me emotionally, physically and mentally. She has a true gift, and my life has been enriched by her beautiful soul. ~ Cassandra D. Commerce City, CO.Going to Fiery Sage Healing helped me a great deal with relatively few sessions.

chiro

What is the difference between a licensed acupuncturist and a Doctor or chiropractor who "does" acupuncture?
To become an acupuncturist, a student attends a graduate school program in Traditional Chinese Medicine for 3 - 4 years. After graduation, the students sits for the National exam given by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), which is the ONLY national board examination, CERTIFYING Acupuncturists in the U.S.A.A Minimum of 1,800 hours of Chinese Medical Education and supervised clinical training is required to sit for this exam. Currently, the requirement to sit for this exam is graduation from an Chinese Medical School, most of which are 2,200+ hour programs. It is a two-day test of written and practical Acupuncture skills and theory.An Acupuncturist, after passing the NCCAOM is awarded the title "Diplomate of Acupuncture of the NCCAOM" (Dipl. Ac.). Certification is renewed every four years with the requirement of completing at least 60 hours of continuing education units.The Colorado State Department of Regulatory Agencies regulate acupuncture, in the State of Colorado. Only those who pass the NCCAOM exam are awarded the title of "Licensed Acupuncturist" (L.Ac.)As for Medical Doctors, Doctors of Osteopathy, or Chiropractors who "Do Acupuncture", here is their breakdown of training in acupuncture:Chiropractors: need only 100 hours of training, review 25 case histories and NO examination to legally perform acupuncture in Colorado.Medical Doctors (M.D.) and Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.): have NO minimum requirements for doing acupuncture in Colorado. They call themselves "Medical Acupuncturists".There is a class at U.C.L.A. especially for physicians to learn acupuncture, it is ONLY 350 hours.
