At Boost Acupuncture, our goal is to help you resolve your health issues, treat your pain, and get you back on your feet quickly so you can do the things you enjoy. Acupuncture is a part one of the oldest systems of medicine and it has been used for thousands of years. It uses very thin disposable needles inserted at specific anatomical points of low electrical resistance to direct nutrients chemical signals to various areas of the body.
The needle stimulation follows a channel (similar to a circuit) and seeks to bring balance, or homeostasis, to the body. From a Western perspective, acupuncture has been found to stimulate the hypothalamus, which helps regulate the hormones of the endocrine system.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterilized, single-use disposable needles into specific anatomical points that follow the Chinese meridian system. Points are chosen based on individualized Asian Medical diagnosis. One goal of treatment is to balance the meridians to activate the body's own natural healing process.
Our office is a part of Front Street Health & Wellness Group located at the corner of 95th Street & Arapahoe Road in Lafayette. Please arrive on time. This is your time and you will be charged for the time scheduled. A patient more than 15 minutes late may not be seen unless we have been notified in advance of your late arrival.
Please don't hesitate to ask questions or to let me know if you don't understand the answer. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) looks at the body differently than Western Medicine, however, I will seek to provide explanations in terms we understand in the West combined with concepts relevant to TCM.

I have a needle phobia and I tried acupuncture once before and couldn’t do it. I was so sensitive especially to needles that I could feel everything the first time, at a different location. My chiropractor was helping with a neck and numbness in my arms and encouraged me to do acupuncture and I said there must be other ways because I just can’t. After months of my muscles just not staying relaxed I GAVE IN! Found Julie through my insurance and went to see her.
WOW, she is so gentle and heard my needle phobia and 90% of the time I feel nothing and the 10% I might feel its not so bad and I’m

Julie is such a wonderful acupuncturist! She’s very educated in Chinese Medicine and how the full body functions as a whole. Julie is inviting and comforting for all ages. I would highly recommend her especially for a first-time acupuncture visit! I fell asleep during my treatment and felt refreshed and amazing afterwards!

Julie Johns at Boost Acupuncture helped put me on the road to recovery from a sports injury. Her treatment was just what was needed to reduce the pain and inflammation so my body could heal. Julie is thoughtful and intuitive and listened not just to what I had to say, but to the feedback my body presented as well. Thank you Julie!
