Boulder Acupuncture Clinic was established in 2000 by Patty Dautremont Johns, a nationally board certified acupuncturist by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

We believe you are already in possession of everything you need to be well. Acupuncture helps you release the energy inside you — restoring balance and activating your body's innate capacity for healing.
The World Health Organization has listed over 40 conditions treatable by acupuncture — not including the many more addressed with Chinese herbal medicine.
And many more — including cardiovascular, immune, and neurological conditions. Call to discuss your specific needs.
We begin with a thorough discussion of your health history, lifestyle, and goals to develop a deep understanding of your unique constitution.
Your treatment plan is crafted specifically for you — combining acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, or other modalities as appropriate.
We monitor your progress and adjust treatments over time, empowering you with nutritional and lifestyle guidance to maintain lasting results.
Acupuncture needles are extremely fine — much thinner than hypodermic needles. Most patients feel little to no pain. You may feel a slight tingling, warmth, or pressure sensation at the needle sites, which is actually a sign of the healing response being activated.
It varies based on your condition, its duration, and your body's response. Acute conditions often improve quickly in 1–3 sessions. Chronic issues may require a longer course of treatment. Patty will discuss a recommended plan during your initial consultation.
Yes. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are well-suited to children and have been used safely for thousands of years. Boulder Acupuncture Clinic specializes in family medicine and pediatrics, providing effective, gentle care tailored to young patients.
Your first visit includes a thorough health intake — discussing your medical history, current health concerns, lifestyle, and goals. Patty will then perform a traditional Chinese medicine assessment and often begins treatment during the same appointment. Plan for 60–90 minutes.
Absolutely. Chinese medicine works excellently as a complementary therapy alongside Western medicine. Many patients use acupuncture to support recovery, manage side effects of medication, or enhance overall well-being while continuing conventional care.
