We’re Celebrating 10 Years with an Expansion!

News & Events

Can you believe that Selby Acupuncture turned 10 years old last fall? We hardly know where the time went, but it has been such a fun and rewarding decade. We are so honored to work with all of you. Thank you for your trust as we assist your healthcare journey. Here’s to the next 10 years!

This milestone felt like an appropriate time to refresh and expand our space! We are thrilled to announce that we have expanded to add another treatment room and office as well as additional storage space. You will also notice updated paint, carpet and ceilings, as well as some new furniture and a brand new reception desk. Construction is underway and we expect our beautiful new space to be completed by mid-February. Don’t worry, we will still be in business during this time and promise not to put you to work! In the meantime, we posted a little tour on Facebook.

Also, we have just updated our website! We have been working on a complete overhaul and are excited to debut this fresh look. Hope you enjoy it!

As some of you may know, we are leaving the Blue Cross Blue Shield network in March. Read More

Commonly used in a variety of bath and skincare products, lavender may also have a relaxing and calming effect on the nervous system.

¼ tsp. ground cloves

3 cans great northern beans

2 (4 ½ oz.) cans diced green chilis

4 cups chicken stock

3 cups cooked chicken

 

Cook onion and garlic in oil until transparent.

Stir in cumin, oregano, red pepper and cloves. Saute 2-3 minutes.

Stir in beans, chilis and chicken broth. Simmer 5 more minutes.

Add chicken and heat until warm throughout.
