ABOUT

Dr. Karen Kan is a holistic physician and medical acupuncturist and the bestselling author of Guide to Healing Chronic Pain – A Holistic Approach. Dr. Kan became partially disabled after succumbing to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome during an extremely stressful time of her life. Unwilling to stay disabled, she embarked on a personal healing journey and cured herself of her disability.

Dr. Kan now shares her wisdom with her patients, integrating mind-body-spirit approaches to healing and wellness. She specializes in hard-to-treat conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, ADHD, depression & anxiety using a holistic drug-free approach.

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR YOUR FIRST EVALUATION AND TREATMENT:

There are two types of appointments: problem-focused and comprehensive. The problem-focused appointment lasts approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours and is focused on a single major symptom or condition. The comprehensive appointment lasts approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours and is appropriate for people with multiple symptoms or complex problems (such as fibromyalgia).

For both appointments, Dr. Kan will first evaluate your brain balance to see if your nervous system is in “healing” or “stress” mode. If you are not in healing mode, she will correct that first before moving onto evaluating other issues.

Each comprehensive evaluation will include the Emotion Code and Body Code treatments as we have found that eliminating the underlying imbalances causing the problem helps it heal up to ten times faster.

Most people choose to include regular acupuncture as part of their treatment. Energy work, like acupuncture, speeds up the healing process and is very effective for conditions involving pain, stress, fatigue and hormonal imbalance.

At the end of your visit, you will receive a comprehensive packet to take home with you that includes educational materials, along with self-treatment instructions, and a typed summary of your Body Code Evaluation.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT

For patients who were not “brain-balanced”, it can take up to 6-8 acupuncture visits before seeing an improvement in symptoms. However, many patients receive a positive benefit within the first 3-5 when they follow the take-home instructions given to them after the first appointment.

There may be other assessments or therapies prescribed in order to help you get better quicker. These may include laboratory tests, vitamins, minerals, energetic remedies and/or acupuncture patches.

By following the lifestyle and self-treatment guidelines, you will maximize your healing speed and notice improvements faster. Please be patient. It often takes decades of stress and dysfunction before symptoms show up, so healing can take time. The good news is that there is not a single condition that is “incurable”. By integrating the mind-body-spirit approach to healing, not only will your body be feeling better, so will your outlook on life. You’ll notice that your commitment to wellness will pay dividends in other areas of your life as well.
