At Aspen Acupuncture Clinic in Cumberland we specialize in non-narcotic practices in healing pain such as headaches, chronic pain, joint pain, back pain, and neuropathy, in doing so, we use tiny, disposable, sterile needles that are placed gently into specific acupuncture points that correspond with your complaints or disease. It is not all about physical pain, mental pain is real too! Acupuncture is often used for stress, depression, anxiety, mental clarity, and focus.
Our goal is to apply an ancient modality into a modern world. Acupuncture is not only for pain- It helps with depression, anxiety and stress as well.
We would like to also mention shingles, this is a combination of anxiety and stress mixed with a virus that targets the nerve causing pain and a painful rash can also appear , If you have shingles please go to an acupuncturist as soon as you feel a burn or get a blister, do not stay in pain.
Enjoy a micro needling treatment that is a gentle, effective, skin rejuvenation with the AcuLift MicroPen.

Rather than applying pressure to the muscles, cupping works by a vacuum effect and negative pressure on the muscles which can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system.
Our facia, that acts like glue to the inside of our body, (also surrounds our muscles), is kind of silky- like a spider web, if an area is damaged this flexible matrix becomes hard, stiff and rigid. Cupping helps it come back to its original state, it is effective at stretching tight fascia and helps the tissue develop new blood flow and causes anti-inflammatory chemical reactions in the body. So naturally, cupping relieves back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraine, rheumatism and encourage healing.
Herbs were commonly used before western pharmaceuticals were introduced.
Aspen Acupuncture Clinic has a small Chinese herbal pharmacy , we have many formulas on hand for several issues- hot flashes, upset stomach, kidney stones, depression to name a few-
We also have herbal topical formulas for pain such as Po Sum On and Zheng Xie Gu Shui - Evil Bone Water
I can not keep it on the shelf!! I use it during every session, instead of using alcohol to clean the area, Evil Bone Water (EBW) has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and analgesic herbal properties that are included in the formula. Gu is bone and Evil is a dis-eased area in translation, so EBW soothes broken bones, sore muscles, tendons and much more- but it also heals as it soothes so it is not only a topical, but it penetrate- deep. This formula reminds me of the old days, when the medicine doctors would smash herbs and cook them -then add to oils or alcohol to preserve them for future use, it was all there was. No pharmaceutical. Only traditional ways. This is exactly how it is made.
Mark T Brinson has spent years perfecting the extraction process of the 10 Chinese herbs that make up EBW, he makes it with passion and love, he takes great care in finding the perfect herbs and not settling for a lower grade. He demands the best. I feel lucky that this phenomenal formula is put in a bottle and shipped my way so I can share it with you all. If you are not in my area, and want a bottle, contact me. You wont be dissatisfied!
Most people are shallow breathers, especially people in pain. When we have pain we tend to hold our breath. Weather the pain is physical or emotional. Our body needs healthy breathing habits in order to receive ample oxygen which is vital to all of our organ systems.
Our intent is to give our patients an unforgettable experience with our purified oxygen delivery system. Concentrating on your breath for a continuous 30 minutes is not something a person does daily. The lung is the only organ that works automatically- without us thinking about it and also by demand!
We breath all day long, if we “forget“ to breath, our lungs don’t stop. It’s amazing- You can actually stop the lungs- hold your breath or inhale deeper. We take this for granted, we forget to exercise our lungs so they keep working to full capacity. Plus, the lungs best friend is the heart, when the lung is bringing in oxygen to the blood- the heart ‘s also very happy- why not strengthen both by concentrating on your breath!?
Some people report that Oxygen therapy has helped to increase energy, improve mood, improve concentration, improve sports performance, reduce stress, provide relief for headaches, migraines, hangovers and promote better sleep.
Try Oxygen Bar Therapy as a stand alone or you can add it to other services. It requires 30 minutes to attain the most benefit. An assortment of scents/flavors are available- Choose eucalyptus during allergy season or a lavender to boost the mood.
Some contraindications apply, such as: respiratory, vascular, or chronic medical conditiond.
