Cupping therapy has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years — but most Boulder patients still have the same two questions: what does it actually do, and what are those marks? At Jade Mountain Health, cupping is used for everything from myofascial tension and training recovery to respiratory support. Here's the full picture.

Boulder's wellness culture is real — but so is the stress that comes with it. Demanding careers, serious training loads, and the pressure to optimize everything can push the nervous system into a state it struggles to exit on its own. At Jade Mountain Health, acupuncture for stress works at a physiological level, not just a symptomatic one. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Stress rarely shows up as just one symptom. For many Boulder patients, it looks like disrupted sleep, chronic muscle tension, digestive changes, and an anxiety that never fully settles — all at once. Meridian therapy is a classical branch of acupuncture that treats those patterns as a single system, not a list of separate complaints. Here's how it works at Jade Mountain Health.

Not all headaches are the same — and at Jade Mountain Health in Boulder, that distinction drives everything about how we treat them. From tension headaches rooted in Liver Qi stagnation to hormonal migraines and sinus pain, acupuncture addresses the pattern behind the pain, not just the symptom. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Rock climbing injuries don't respond well to rest alone — and Boulder climbers know it. At Jade Mountain Health, Andrew Maloney, L.Ac., and our team use acupuncture and dry needling to treat finger pulley strains, climber's elbow, rotator cuff issues, and the deep myofascial tension that builds over a long season on the wall. Here's what the treatment process actually looks like, and how quickly you can expect to get back to climbing.

Knee pain is one of the most common reasons Boulder's active community seeks out acupuncture — and one of the conditions that responds best to it. At Jade Mountain Health, Andrew Maloney, L.Ac. and Nicole Bzdel, L.Ac. treat runner's knee, patellar tendinitis, osteoarthritis, and post-surgical recovery using acupuncture, dry needling, and electroacupuncture — addressing the muscular, structural, and systemic factors behind your pain, not just the joint itself.

Digestive health is an area where Traditional Chinese Medicine has a 3,000-year track record — and where patients in Boulder are increasingly turning to acupuncture when conventional approaches haven't delivered lasting results. Andrew Maloney, L.Ac. and Nicole Bzdel, L.Ac. at Jade Mountain Health address IBS, bloating, acid reflux, and more by treating the root imbalances behind your symptoms, not just managing them.
