Dr. Christopher Chapleauis is a practicing sports acupuncturist at Boulder Therapeutics in Boulder and Superior, Colo. He possesses an MS in Human Performance and is certified in orthopedic/musculoskeletal acupuncture, integrative manual therapy, and corrective exercise.
Chris combines Western knowledge & Eastern practice to help his clients be productive and energetic to meet the demands of daily life. Besides the traditional Eastern approach to acupuncture therapy, Chris integrates a Western biomedical approach to using acupuncture, motor and trigger-point therapy, manual, and movement therapy.
His experience training himself and others for triathlons, rucking, bike racing, MMA, and similarly demanding athletic endeavors uniquely prepares him to assist serious athletes in realizing top performance while preserving peak immune function, postural & movement, and general good health.
Specializing in acupuncture and exercise science, Chris integrates acupuncture into musculoskeletal rehabilitation therapy for pain modulation, speedy recovery, and enhanced performance.
When we talk about fertility, the focus is often placed on the ovaries and the uterus. Yet sperm-related factors contribute to nearly half of all cases of infertility. Whether someone is navigating fertility care alone or with a partner, and whether building a family through intercourse, IVI, IUI or IVF, it’s vital to include sperm health in the picture.
With some plans – and it starts with Medicare (CMS) – there is a payment protocol that may be referred to as a multi-therapy discount, but its official name is the multiple-procedure payment reduction (MPPR). If a health care provider performs multiple procedures during a single patient encounter, Medicare (and many commercial insurers) typically will pay “full price” for only the highest-valued procedure.
Our team of authors offer this paper (and this descriptive AT series) as a support for you as a professional, practitioner and member of the acupuncture community at large. We hope that it will serve to further the needs of acupuncturists everywhere and also act as a guide for those wishing to learn about Acupuncture Medicine – patients, healthcare decision makers, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
