We are experts in supporting labor with acupuncture, with 30 years of experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does Acupuncture soften the cervix?

    Yes, Acupuncture supports the body's natural cervical ripening process by stimulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal HPA axis. This supports the body's natural production of prostaglandins and oxytocin.

  • I just left my 39-week check-in and I'm 0 cm dilated. My OB scheduled an induction date. Can Acupuncture help?

    Yes, we offer same-day priority appointments for this exact reason. Text 303-861-5656 to get the next available appointment. We are conveniently located right next to Foothills Community Hospital in Boulder, CO.

  • Does Acupuncture hurt? Where do the needles go?

    The sterile disposable needles are hair-thin and do not hurt you or your baby. Acupuncture points are located on the lower legs, feet, lower back and hands. Please let us know if you have any sensitive body areas that you do not want acupuncture on and we can provide gentle acupressure instead.

  • Can I use my HSA/FSA for Labor prep Acupuncture in Boulder, CO?

    Yes, we accept HSA and FSA.
