Twin Tigers Acupuncture offers acupuncture treatments and related services at our Colorado Springs office, as well as in-home treatments in the Colorado Springs area. The term acupuncture describes a family of procedures involving stimulation of anatomical points on the body by a variety of techniques. American practices of acupuncture incorporate medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries. Extremely fine, hair-thin, sterile, disposable needles are placed at specific points on the body’s energetic pathways, known as meridians. Once they experience a treatment, they are often shocked at how painless it is.

Prior to treatment, the patient’s condition is diagnosed by thorough examination, which includes medical history, and pulse and tongue examination. When the needles are inserted, the patient may experience one or more sensations, such as tingling, heaviness, fullness, and warmth. People are often surprised to find that treatments are actually quite relaxing. Some people fall asleep during the treatment or experience a sense of euphoria.
