Our approach bridges the gap between ancient Chinese healing traditions and modern healthcare, offering treatments that work in harmony with your overall medical plan to promote optimal health and recovery. Clinic's story and what inspired its creation

The inspiration behind Tong Shen TCM Clinic stems from a deeply personal journey. During my recovery from an ankle reconstruction surgery, I experienced firsthand the transformative impact of support beyond what Western medicine could provide. This profound experience ignited a passion to help others remove the blockages in their lives that prevent them from living fully. As a former teacher, I found joy in helping students overcome challenges, but I realized I wanted to make an even broader impact. Tong Shen TCM Clinic was created as a space for healing and empowerment, dedicated to supporting those who have experienced a medical event, are undergoing treatment or procedures, or seek care that extends beyond the scope of Western medicine.

Many women have been told that painful, irregular, or difficult periods are simply something they have to live with.

My patients tell me they use ibuprofen or hot water bottles to help with the pain. Sometimes they tell me they just have to power through because they have work or family responsibilities that don't allow them to take a break.

If your period regularly disrupts your work, sleep, social life, or ability to be present for the people you love, it's worth exploring whether something can be done.

At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, I work with women experiencing a variety of menstrual and women's health concerns, including:

• Painful or intense menstrual cramps
• Headaches or migraines before or during menstruation
• Short, long, or irregular menstrual cycles
• Symptoms that make the days before your period difficult (commonly called PMS which means 'pre-menstrual symptoms')
• Heavy or disruptive periods
• Symptoms that cause you to miss work or cancel plans

I've seen patients who chose acupuncture experience meaningful changes in their quality of life.

1. A patient came to me with intense menstrual cramps and texted me the next day saying:

"My cramps were basically non-existent afterwards."

2. A patient was having her period about every 21 days. After several months of regular treatment, her cycle lengthened to around 30 days—giving her a much more predictable cycle and a significant improvement in her quality of life.

3. A patient who typically experienced a headache before her period. After treatment, she didn't need to take medication for that headache that evening.

4. A patient was put on a hormonal birth control that was supposed to stop her period. Instead, she experienced continuous bleeding that wouldn't stop. She was tired at work and stopped going to the gym because of her fatigue. After using acupuncture and Chinese herbs, the continuous bleeding stopped, she regained her energy, and got back to the gym.

These are individual patient experiences, and everyone's situation is different. But if you've been thinking, "My period is just something I have to deal with every month," there may be a solution to help you improve your life!

Is your period is affecting your quality of life? Let's talk about what's going on and whether Chinese medicine may be appropriate for you.

You deserve to feel like yourself—even during your period.

Although acupuncture is my main tool for treating patients, I use many different treatment modalities to help people heal.

Have you ever gotten a B-12 shot? 💉 Share your experience in the comments!

Low B-12 levels can contribute to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, numbness and tingling, and low energy. Because B-12 injections bypass the digestive system, they can be an effective option for people who don't absorb oral supplements well.

Many of my patients choose to add a B-12 injection to their acupuncture treatment as part of their overall wellness plan. It's commonly used by people looking to support energy levels, improve mental focus, or promote healthy nerve function. Some patients have also reported feeling more energized and noticing improvements in neuropathy symptoms when combining acupuncture with a B-12 injection.

At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, we inject Vitamin B-12 directly into acupuncture points instead of a standard intramuscular injection, combining the benefits of acupuncture point stimulation with Vitamin B-12 therapy.

If you've been feeling unusually tired, mentally foggy, or you're wondering whether a B-12 shot might be right for you, I'd be happy to answer your questions.

Are you curious about what acupuncture can help with?
👇Comment below what symptom or health condition your are wondering about. If I can help, I'll tell you. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.

Every week I meet people who thought their only options were medications, injections, or surgery. Many are surprised to learn there may be another path worth exploring first.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been helping people for thousands of years. At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. Every patient receives a full one-hour appointment, a thorough evaluation, and a treatment that is completely customized to their needs and health concerns.

I also see many people who are dealing with unwanted side effects from medications or who wish they had known about additional treatment options sooner. While medications and surgery are absolutely the right choice in many situations, they aren't always the only choice. Knowing your options empowers you to make the decision that's right for you.

Please share this post so that people can discover the power of Traditional Chinese medicine. You never know who might discover an option they didn't realize existed...

If you're ready to find out whether Traditional Chinese Medicine may be right for you, I'd love to help.

At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, we value human connection. At each of your appointments, we are together for an entire hour, discussing your concerns and making a plan for how you can move forward.

Healing doesn't happen in a five minute conversation. It takes time to understand what's happening in your body, why it's happening, and what you can do to improve your health. By spending more time together, you can be educated on how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) works, how to implement TCM philosophy and practices into your life, and you can actually connect with your care provider!

When you understand your treatment plan, you'll have more confidence to implement the recommendations into your daily life, and that's when lasting change happens!

I believe that the relationship between the practitioner and the patient is one of the most powerful tools in healthcare. The connection we make in our appointments together is a big part of why my patients are achieving excellent health!

If you're looking for a healthcare provider who truly listens and takes the time to understand your goals, I'd love to help you!

If you feel numb, tingly, electrical, burning, or freezing cold in your hands and feet, you aren't alone!

All of these symptoms point to a dysfunction of the nervous system, the circulatory system, or both!

Here's the problem - there are no non-invasive treatments for conditions like diabetic neuropathy, idiopathic neuropathy, reynaud's syndrome, and other conditions where the nerves become damaged. Treatment usually involves surgery (for example, carpal tunnel), or nerve ablation where your nerves are DESTROYED so you don't feel these symptoms anymore.

Because there are no good conventional treatments, people think they just have to deal with these symptoms.

What if there was a solution to bring function back to your nervous system and improve your circulation so your symptoms resolve and you get your life back?

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine helps to stimulate and nourish the nervous system to bring function back to the blood vessels. Whether you're looking to feel more connected to the floor, stop those annoying pins/needles throughout the work day, slow down the progression of your diabetic neuropathy, or stop having cold hands and feet even in the middle of the summer, traditional Chinese medicine can help you get your life back!

I urge you to sign up for treatment as soon as possible. Change is possible. At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, we are ready to help you heal!

Today I went to go speak at a stroke recovery group to tell them how acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine can help them get their life back! (this is an older photo from a different speaking opportunity) The group was so engaged. I talked for a short while and then the group continued to ask questions for over an hour. It was so great to connect with people and let them know there is a resource for them in the community.

One of my stroke recovery patients volunteered to go to the group with me. She spoke so well to the group and shared her experiences of how she has changed since starting acupuncture and herbal treatment with me. There was a lot of interest from the group for starting treatment!

Do you know someone that has recently had a stroke and has lingering symptoms that just aren't getting better?

What if there was a solution that could help them get their life back?

If you know someone who has had a stroke, I'd like to have a conversation with them! Please share this post on your page!

My patient's daughter sent this video over this morning. She said 'before she started treatment with you, she couldn't cut her meat'. This patient had a stroke several years ago. With acupuncture and Chinese herbs, she is regaining her independence and getting her life back! I'm so proud of her for the progress she is making!

If you or someone you love is struggling with lingering effects of a stroke, there may be options to help.

Have you recently been discharged from care? What is your plan for follow up care and starting your healing process?

If you've been in the hospital for any reason (surgery, stroke, concussion, accident, emergency room) and been told to go home and rest and take meds, that's not an effective plan for healing.

After being discharged from care, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine helps jumpstart the healing process. Healing happens when your body is stimulated to heal! If you have questions about how acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help your healing process, give us a call today!

So many of my patients and people in the community always ask - 'How do I treat _____?' One common question I get asked is how to treat pain - are their any good supplements for pain? What about OTCs? CBD? So I'll use this post to address how to treat pain.

In Chinese medicine we have a saying - same disease, different diagnosis, different disease, same diagnosis. This saying communicates the idea that when we ask 'what works for _____', there may not be a blanket solution that works for everyone. I always recommend going to see a trained provider to get a proper diagnosis and then use herbs that help to treat the underlying cause of your pain. Succumbing to 'shiny marketing' online and buying supplements from ads or websites while not knowing what they do is not useful. Chinese medicine creates a customized plan for you - there are over 365 acupuncture points and just as many Chinese herbs. Treatment is planned and customized just for you by looking at your entire health picture - not just your one symptom of pain.

With that being said, there is another saying in Chinese medicine - where there is movement, there is no pain. So any substances that help to improve blood flow (like bone water from saint apothecary) will help to reduce pain. When in doubt, moving our blood is a great first solution. Almost everyone who comes into my clinic gets prescribed a bottle of bone water. It works on so many different conditions because it follows the principle stated above - where there is movement, there is no pain.

Lastly, your body is producing inflammation for a reason. The signs of inflammation are - redness, swelling, pain, and loss of function. Typically chronic inflammation doesn't come with the redness but it does come with the other 3. So, a good question would be - how can we heal/strengthen the area so the body no longer needs 'anti-inflammatory' action? This is best accomplished with some kind of physical body work (acupuncture, PT, exercise, massage, chiro, etc) while doing a strengthening program. Our lymphatic system carries swelling and the only way to move the lymph system is to flex muscles in the area where there is swelling.

So, if you are in pain, reach out to me TODAY to get a customized treatment plan that treats you as a whole person.

Tell your friends - Dr. Kevin spends an entire hour with you at every appointment so he can learn about you, your health, and your goals. Healthcare needs more human connection and that's why he dedicates 100% of his attention to you during your appointment. No being left in the room on your own.
