Debi Ireland, Owner

I earned my Master of Science in Acupuncture degree from the Southwest Acupuncture College of Boulder in August of 2011. This three-year program consists of over 2,500 hours of education including 1,042 hours of clinical practice. I was certified as a Diplomate in Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in January 2012. This includes certification in Clean Needle Technique.

I strive to promote optimal physical and emotional health using a blend of acupuncture, dry needling, patented herbs, supplements, holistic nutrition and lifestyle counseling.

I believe in integration of Eastern and Western medicine, and work to advance the understanding and practice of Chinese Medicine within the Western medical context. I promote integration through education and research, and applying my knowledge within the clinical context.

Charles Wear

Charles Wear graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, CO in 2020.  Charles began studying acupuncture and Chinese medicine as a way to help military Veterans deal with chronic pain and PTSD following their military service. As a Veteran himself, he used acupuncture to overcome his own issues with pain, anxiety and depression after separating from the Army.  His skills and compassion have guided hundreds of people on the path to a mentally and physically healthier life, and he stands ready and prepared to lead many more.

Charles also has a passion to help Veterans.  He feels he is in a position to actually do something to help these people who have selflessly done so much for so many others.

Fort Collins Acupuncturists Specializing in

Chronic Pain

There are numerous theories on how acupuncture works, but one explanation is that the needles trigger the body to produce hormones that suppress inflammation and pain. ENS (electrical nerve stimulation) units are devices that work in a similar fashion. By sending electrical impulses to painful areas, they are thought to raise levels of endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers.

Acute Pain

Acupuncture reduces inflammation which is responsible for pain, swelling and tenderness. It also stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. It relaxes the surrounding muscles and improves circulation which can speed up the healing process.

Other Conditions

Acupuncture can regulate immune function and treat the underlying cause of the disease by reducing symptoms, speeding up the healing of infection and normalizing the body’s immune response. It works by stimulating specific portions of the autonomic nervous system through selected acupoints, which in turn causes responses in the immune system.

Debi is just the best! She is so attentive to my needs and her magical healing hands and needles have brought me so much relief from migraines. I always know when it has been too long between appointments. I've been seeing her for years and she is so passionate about her field and helping people find balance. I look forward to every session!

Debi is fantastic!!! I have been seeing her for over a year to help with arthritis in my SI joint (lower back). I tried physical therapy for several months with minimal improvement and with Debi the pain has gone from an 8 to a 1. This is very manageable. I would not be able to do all the things I do without her help.

My back went out and I was in excruciating pain - comparable to childbirth! I was completely immobilized. After ONE treatment with Debi, I was up and walking around normally! Thank you, Debi!

Most importantly, Debi is skilled at treating a variety of conditions - from sports injuries to chronic illnesses - and with multiple tools. As a bonus, her hours are flexible and pricing is reasonable.

I've been seeing Debi for a little more than a year now and she is amazing! I get acupuncture and the cupping from her pretty regularly. I'm a massage therapist, so as you can imagine my hands and arms get really sore from work. I recommend Debi by far because she's very knowledgeable in what she does, she knows exactly where the pain is steming from after a general description and I get immediate relief. I'm very grateful to have Debi as an acupuncturist!

I have seen Debi for almost 4 years, now, and she has helped me so much with my chronic pain through her acupuncture treatments. She knows just what to do to help with my pain and achiness in my hands and really helps my shoulders, neck, and lower back for the chronic pain and tightness. Her facility is very relaxing and I really enjoy the semi-private rooms. She's the best acupuncturist in Fort Collins.

Debi has been such a help for my neck issues. I can go in with pain and walk out with 90% immediate relief - 100% by the following day. Have not met a more caring health professional!

Debi is an amazing acupuncturist! Not only is she highly skilled in her profession, but she really listens to her patients and provides excellent care. On top of improved symptoms, and sleeping better, I have a better overall sense of wellbeing after my sessions with Debi. She makes me feel like a million bucks!

Debi is an amazing acupuncturist. I have gone to her for many different things and she really knows her stuff. I have gone to her in pain and she has helped me out of it. I also have gone for different women's issues and she has helped me through it. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!
