About Me
Dr Joshua Jimenez, LAc
My JOURNEY
Originally from the Southwest, my journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine began in 2003 with a broken arm healed by the renowned Dr. Huang Pao Chin in two weeks. From there, a student-mentor relationship developed. Ten years after that, I began my graduate education at Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, Colorado. At SWAC (Southwest Acupuncture College), I learned more formal methods of Chinese medicine. I gleaned knowledge from skilled teachers like Dr. LiLu, who taught me Tuina, a version of Chinese massage that works on very few distal points while emphasising areas closer to the spine and slight manipulation of the spine itself. I learned the art of trigger points, or dry needling, as well as wet needling with procaine and saline from Michael Young.
I graduated SWAC in 2018 and continue to consult with Dr. Pao, Michael, and Dr. Lilu whenever the need arises.
I approach dis-ease with optimism, perseverance and patience. I customize my treatments to each patient’s personal needs, ensuring a pace that is both safe and comfortable.
My skills in acupuncture, Tuina, moxibustion, and herbs, combined with my open communication style, allow for individualized treatment with optimal results.
Since 2001, I’ve been a student of Tai Qi, Qi Gong and Kung Fu and often incorporate movements as exercises for my patients.
I am a licensed acupuncturist in Colorado and certified as a Diplomate of Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
In addition to practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and philosophies in my personal life, I enjoy exploring the mountains of the Southwest all year long with my son and dog.
Discipleship
Dr. Joshua Jimenez embarked on a profound journey, training under the esteemed Shifu Shi Yanjun, a 34th-generation Shaolin Warrior monk, for over a year. This immersive experience culminated in Dr. Jimenez becoming a 35th-generation Shaolin disciple, a testament to his dedication and skill. Shifu Shi Yanjun expresses deep gratitude for Dr. Jimenez’s contributions, recognizing his invaluable assistance in promoting both the health of the Shaolin Temple community and its students. This contribution is further exemplified by Dr. Jimenez’s teaching of Traditional Chinese Medicine classes at the Shaolin Temple in Yunnan, enriching the training experience with a holistic approach to well-being.
