Dr. Melissa Carr, Registered Dr. TCM

Description

In practice for 21 years (since 2001), I’m a registered Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which includes licensing as a registered acupuncturist and a registered TCM herbalist.
If you are suffering from pain, whether a chronic issue (like arthritis, old car accident or sport injury, migraines, headaches, repetitive strain injury, or other illness) or acute (such as a recent car accident, sport injury, sprain or strain), TCM and acupuncture can help. I also use my knowledge and training from my kinesiology degree, and specialty trainings in treatments like motor point acupuncture and biopuncture (awaiting review of province for our scope of practice) to help you find relief. Digestive issues are another key area of focus for my treatments. Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, IBS, GERD, and other digestive problems can seriously impair you quality of life. I use acupuncture, herbs, supplements, and dietary recommendations to help you get the most out of your life, with fewer and less severe flares. Stress and fatigue are two of the biggest health challenges to a growing number of people in our modern world. Did you know that acupuncture can help you manage your stress and help improve your sleep? If indicated, I can also prescribe you supplements and Chinese herbs. I live the recommendations I give, so if you have questions, I encourage you to ask me for help. In addition to running my practice, I also act as a natural health and nutrition consultant, speaker, and writer. Contact me for details or check out my website for more info.
