Treatment

Treatment

I use acupuncture and other forms of Oriental medicine, including Chinese herbs, stones, moxibustion (an herbal, localized heat treatment), auricular acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, far-infrared lamps, and electro-stimulation (if needed). This form of treatment has been proven effective for many, many conditions, from asthma to depression to eczema to migraines to pain relief to women’s (gynecological) issues.

I also provide preservative-free Vitamin B-12 injections.
All treatment begins with a complete diagnosis, which takes place during your first visit. I spend a considerable amount of time getting a complete picture of your health and lifestyle. I examine the condition of your tongue (is it cracked, coated, excessively pink? etc.), and check your pulse on both wrists (the quality of your pulse gives information about possible imbalances). I’ll also ask questions about your emotional state, and specific symptoms you may have. This is done because unlike Western medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the whole person. Rather than merely focusing on the symptoms of your condition, I treat the underlying cause of those symptoms.

Your subsequent visits will be shorter – usually about an hour long. We’ll make a brief review of your progress followed by an acupuncture treatment.

If it’s warranted, you will also be prescribed an herbal formula. Herbs are almost always prescribed in a balanced formula, where different herbs have supporting effects. Thousands of years of use and research have shown that this is far more effective than large doses of a single substance.

Typically acupuncture treatments are given once a week. If the condition is acute and painful, treatments may be needed 2-3 times per week until the condition starts to come under control. On average, a typical course of treatment requires 10-12 treatments over 2-4 months. The exact duration of treatment depends on the condition, your basic level of health, and how well you respond to acupuncture.

Fertility patients who wish to use acupuncture without herbal medicine may require 2-3 treatments each week, for 6-12 weeks.  Read more about fertility treatments here.

Golfer’s Elbow and More

When I first met Kellie I had a very sore right elbow from playing golf. I play 4-5 times per week and the soreness really took its toll, not only on my scoring but also on my enjoyment of playing.
I had two acupuncture treatments from Kellie over the next two weeks. During these two weeks the pain began subsiding and was gone in a span of only three weeks. And all this time I continued to play golf.
During my second treatment Kellie asked me about the dryness of my skin. I shaved every day, but was using nothing on my face afterward. Kellie recommended I apply Pearl Cream after shaving. I tried it and it began working wonders. My skin is much smoother and my family and friends say I look 5-10 years younger after using Pearl Cream for just a couple of months.

2 healthy and energetic boys

Kellie Krasovec has changed my life in so many positive ways. A friend recommended I see Kellie after I had two miscarriages. Kellie worked closely with both my husband and me helping us ready ourselves to carry a pregnancy to term. She  treated us with acupuncture, herbs, and moxa. She also educated us about the food choices we made. We completely changed so many of our habits and chose healthier lifestyle options. Due to her hard work and our devotion to a new way of life, we are the parents of 2 healthy and energetic boys. Kellie saw us through each of the pregnancies and even joined us in the delivery room for our second son. She continues to care for all of us. No matter the ailment, Kellie always has the remedy. Kellie is family. As my son says, Kellie is “the one who takes good care of us”.

Carpal Tunnel pain

I had been having Carpal Tunnel symptoms in my left hand and forearm for about 4 months. I had already seen my other doctor and tried many “traditional” methods, but nothing worked until I tried acupuncture. After just one treatment, Kellie was able to get rid of all the pain and numbness that had traveled up my arm. That was almost 4 years ago, and the pain has never come back.
