Why Patients Near University Park & DU Choose The Point

Convenient to University Park and DU
Our clinic is located at 645 E. Evans Ave., Denver, CO 80210, just south of University Park and the University of Denver campus.
We're also convenient to Platt Park, Washington Park, University, South Denver, and surrounding neighborhoods.
A place to slow down
Acupuncture isn't only about the needles. Your treatment provides time to step away from the demands of the day, rest, and give your body an opportunity to settle.
What to Expect at Your First Acupuncture Appointment
Your first appointment begins with a conversation about your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and what you'd like to address.
Your acupuncturist may ask about your sleep, digestion, stress, menstrual cycle, energy, and other aspects of your health that can provide context for your symptoms.
From there, we'll develop an individualized treatment approach.
Acupuncture uses very thin needles inserted into specific points on the body. Most people find the treatment relaxing, and many patients rest quietly during their appointment.
You don't need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what treatment you need before you come in. If you're unsure whether acupuncture is appropriate for your particular concern, we're happy to discuss it with you.
