WHY THRIVE
What Sets Our Practice Apart
We believe change is possible in ways unimaginable. Here is what makes Thrive different from other clinics in the region.

2
Multi-Modal Approach
Dr. Andres combines acupuncture, dry needling, bodywork, myofascial release, cupping, moxibustion, and herbal medicine into a single, integrated treatment plan. You get access to a full toolkit of therapies in one visit.

Personalized Treatment
No cookie-cutter protocols. Every treatment plan is built around your specific condition, your body, your activity level, and your goals. We treat you as an individual, not a diagnosis.
6
Community Rooted
Dr. Andres was raised in Colorado and is deeply connected to the Salida community. Thrive is not a franchise or a chain. It is a locally owned practice that takes pride in serving the Arkansas Valley.

"I worked with Tyler on multiple occasions over the course of a decade. He helped me rehab through a total hip replacement, then kidney removal from cancer some years later, and again in care through a metastasized lung tumor and aggressive immunotherapies that were devastating for my body. He was always impeccable in care, bringing heart into the treatment space, and truly helped me move forward in life through these challenges. I feel grateful to have found him!"
Taliah G.
"I got WRECKED in a multi-car accident in 2023 and went from an active 24 year old in construction work to having trouble getting out of bed and mostly using a cane to get around. Disk herniations, rotator cuff issues on one side, unexplained belly pains, headaches, pain everywhere basically. I saw MD's, a chiropractor, and had massage treatments and was referred to Tyler after two months without improvements. I highly recommend him, I really started seeing changes after I had him as a central part of my care team."
Zeki A.
"I have been treated by Dr. Tyler for over a decade for various health issues... that alone should give his current and future patients the comfort and peace of mind regarding his professionalism. I think highly of his professionalism and care!"
