Welcome to Alpine Acupuncture!

The acupuncturist on staff is Carleton Magus, a Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Chinese Herbalist. He has helped thousands of patients break free from the cycle of pain and bring balance to their lives. For the last 15 years, patients have traveled far and wide to see him, from Issaquah, Sammamish, Snoqualmie, Newcastle, Redmond, Kent, Bellevue, North Bend and the surrounding areas

Acupuncture

Carleton utilizes the Balance Method of Acupuncture developed by Richard Teh-Fu Tan, O.M.D., L.Ac. It is a highly effective form of acupuncture based on the I Jing, one of the oldest Chinese philosophical books, which is over 3,000 years old.

Carleton’s clinic manner is welcoming and his acupuncture style is very gentle. He prides himself on being a good listener, taking time to understand each patient. Carleton overcame his lifelong phobia of needles in order to become an acupuncturist, so he is very patient and understanding when introducing even the most reluctant patient to acupuncture.

The experience of acupuncture for most patients is a mild occasional dull and achy sensation, much like that of a deep tissue massage and some patients don’t feel the needles at all (the sterilized needles are the size of a human hair). Carleton treats patients of all ages, including children, teens, adults and elders with a wide range of conditions. The most common reason patients see an acupuncturist is to treat their pain (arthritis, migraine, sports/work injury, fibromyalgia) in a safe, effective way. Other common issues that acupuncture can help with are: women’s health and hormones, digestion and allergies. Patients are often referred to our clinic from other doctors and physical therapists for trigger point work and dry needling, which Carleton is also trained in.

After you decide to book an appointment, you will arrive at a clean, professional medical office with plenty of parking. After a lengthy intake to determine your Chinese medical diagnosis, you will lie on the soft treatment table and experience a calming effect from the acupuncture, many patients fall asleep and wake rejuvenated. To heighten this experience the lights will be turned down and relaxing music will play in the background.

Come into Alpine Acupuncture and experience the ancient healing art of acupuncture, and leave feeling healthy and balanced.
