WELCOME TO ENLIVEN ACUPUNCTURE
My goal at Enliven Acupuncture is to unlock your body’s innate healing abilities to safely, naturally, and effectively optimize your health.
Durango Acupuncture
Hello, my name is Megan Slater, Licensed Acupuncturist. For a variety of reasons, few people access the full potential of their own body’s healing capabilities. Unfortunately, many settle into a pattern of living with chronic aches, pains, and emotional traumas that limit our ability to fully engage in our lives.
However, more and more people are refusing to settle on mediocre health and are actively seeking out ways to naturally heal their ailments and enhance their health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the fastest growing categories in the “alternative medicine” field with over 15 million Americans benefiting from it. Although new to most in the United States, Traditional Chinese Medicine has existed for well over 2,500 years and has evolved to effectively treat a wide variety of conditions.
Traditional Chinese Medicine consists of a diverse range of medical practices to form a comprehensive health system. The purpose of these techniques is to stimulate the energetic points along the body which enliven, balance, boost and enhance your body’s healing capacities.
Acupuncture
Acupuncturists use extremely thin needles to stimulate specific energetic points located along the body.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine may be prescribed alone or as a compliment to other services for a wide variety of health issues.

Nutrition
A holistic approach to eating and nutrition habits based on the qualities of different foods. Foods are chosen based on their effects for each individual’s body constitution.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of health problems and conditions; many of which are difficult to treat by traditional biomedical treatments and therapies.
In fact, both The World Health Organization and The National Institutes of Health have endorsed many biomedical conditions as being effectively treated by Acupuncture.
Traditional Chinese Medicine views the body from a holistic perspective. While relieving outward signs and symptoms of health problems, Traditional Chinese Medicine seeks to uncover and heal the underlying root cause of your body’s symptoms.
