Acupuncture for Active People and Athletes

A Precise Classical Approach

Treatment at Fort Collins Five Element Acupuncture emphasizes precision and simplicity.

Rather than using many needles, treatments often focus on a single carefully selected acupuncture point.

This approach can help regulate the nervous system and stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

Whole-Body Health

Conditions treated include:

• Digestive issues
• Sleep concerns
• Stress and anxiety
• Emotional balance
• Hormone health
• Fatigue

Each treatment considers the whole person and seeks to treat a root cause of imbalance including symptoms.

  • "Kale is the first acupuncturist whose treatment has significantly benefitted me. He creates a welcoming environment, is a caring listener, and focuses on resolving specific issues while taking a holistic approach. His work helped alleviate my chronic back pain, increased my energy, and introduced me to complementary modalities. I highly recommend Kale to anyone who wishes to alleviate pain."

    -Sue T.

  • "I found Kale after a snowboarding accident causing an injury to my elbow resulting in some pain and swelling. Within a week of my first session my pain had decreased substantially. I was only able to see him a handful of times but every-time the pain and swelling decreased. Can’t share how amazing Kale is and truly a holistic acupuncture! He looked at the whole picture and was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

  • "Kale Dennis is an extraordinary human being with a soft compassion, yet a pinpointed approach to attend the various levels of a person’s body-mind-spirit."

    — Nashalla G Nyinda Menpa TMD, MA Acu., LMT, founder of the Sowa Birthing Method TM

  • "Kale is a skilled acupuncturist. He helped me as I went through chemotherapy and radiation due to a breast cancer diagnosis. The results were excellent! My labs were always good before the next infusion. My experience with Acupuncture is that it puts you in such a deep state of relaxation that it allows your immune system to do its very best work for your recovery. And Kale only uses ONE needle during treatment. I can highly recommend."

  • "Kale Dennis is an excellent acupuncture and massage practitioner, the best I’ve ever had in many years of therapeutic massage"

    — Gratefully, Becky Fredregill

  • "He listened to my words and my body’s cues with a warm, gentle understanding. His down-to-earth style and humor always put me at ease and gave me a feeling of safety and hope."

    — Emma Sartwell, founder of Somatic Spiritual Counseling

  • "I have had several amazing sessions from Kale. He has a beautiful presence and such incredible skill at what he does to put the body back in balance. Today I came in with a lot of pain in my lower back area - With very few needles, (literally nearly just one) he was able to relieve my back pain that’s been going on for roughly a week. I highly recommend him as he is one of a kind. He works with the body mind and spirit. We are lucky to have him in our community"

    Heidi G

  • "I cannot express enough the positive impact Kale’s acupuncture procedure has done for me. He has cured my lower back pain and taken away 90% of my neuropathy in my feet in only one visit. I can now go on vacations and walk everywhere pain free. His calm manner, humor, and focus on my well-being make it a retreat rather than a medical visit. I highly recommend Kale. I have my life back! ❤️"
