Ancient Way: Consultations and Treatments

Deciding to use Chinese medicine or another form of natural/alternative treatment for a major health issue can be extremely difficult. Hopefully the information I continue to add to my site, as well as the vast amounts of other information on the web, can help.
If you would like to have an intensive course of acupuncture or have me prescribe herbal formulas for you, you're welcome to visit my Southern Oregon clinic after making appointment and travel arrangements in advance. This would be appropriate for someone in constant pain seeking to avoid surgery who doesn't have access to a qualified acupuncturist in their area. Klamath Falls is a wonderful place to visit for a week, with clean air, natural wonders such as Crater Lake, and inexpensive or resort lodging. 4 consecutive days of acupuncture is currently around $200.

Internet-only customers are welcome to order formulas and other products. While I may occasionally offer input concerning substitutions for unavailable herbs/formulas, please understand that I do not offer consultations or prescriptions via phone or e-mail, for both ethical and legal reasons. Chinese herbal medicine is complex when practiced correctly, and that is best done in a one-on-one clinical setting.

If you are new to Chinse medicine and would like to use Chinese herbs, please find a qualified practitioner near you or arrange a visit to my clinic in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

About the Consultations and Treatments\
Initial Intake

At the clinic, an initial appointment is generally an hour and a half. Between 15 and 45 minutes are used for Kevin to interview the patient and gather the basic information such as medical history, pulse, tongue, lifestyle information, diet, etc. Treatment often begins with massage and acupuncture, which helps the practitioner learn the condition of the muscles, fasciae, bones, and organs. The acupuncture treatment is generally between 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Normal Treatment

Return visits for acupuncture (which is often done in courses of 4-10 treatments, generally 1 per week, though possibly 2-4 times/week for extremely painful conditions) are generally an hour. Treatments begin with basic charting of changes in one's condition, as well as discussion about herbs, foods, and exercises which can help in healing. Most patients report that the treatments are extremely relaxing. Acupuncture treatments are generally from 45 minutes to 1 hour in duration. Often the treatments are done in two parts--part one with the patient face up, and part two facing down on the treatment table. Treatments often include massage or traditional Chinese physical therapy.

Herbal Consultations and Prescriptions

There are many options for herbal treatment, from prepared pills to bulk decoctions. The strongest (in taste if not function) is a decoction made from the whole herbs. Powders, capsules, concentrated extracts, and pills are chosen for convenience, compliance, and efficacy. Through training and experience, an herbalist will recommend the most appropriate preparation.
