A backstory that starts with a fibromyalgia mom that got shoulder rubs leads to massage therapy school that had acupressure and a few other eastern classes, to being the first massage therapist working at a hospital in Wyoming and a spark that got him to finally become a licensed Acupuncturist.

The acupuncturists in Fort Collins, CO have a monthly meeting over cocktails to socialize and network so that patients can be referred to someone with more knowledge in certain areas. For instance: Mr. Fox is great at trigeminal neuralgia but refers out for most fertility issues. How can we do that in our local community and with our doctor specialties?

Learn how facial acupuncture (which is not just getting rid of wrinkles) started in Colorado and over time students became teachers and created their own programs.

What’s the difference between Cosmetic and Constitutional based Facial Acupuncture?

Terry Fox walks us through his process in evaluating and treating someone. If you are unfamiliar with acupuncture, this will open your eyes. He also explains and relates certain facial wrinkles to certain organ deficiencies in the Chinese Medicine way of thinking.
