Ms. Kerri Westhauser

“I feel I am best suited to treating women's health issues ( menstual health, menopause, infertility ) as well as treating acute and chronic pain. I use a combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs to facilitate healing. Since the majority of my patients see me for infertility or for pain management, I consider them both my specialties. For women's health issues I focus on regulating the cycle and harmonizing the areas of the body and mind that are out of balance. For pain management I focus on stimulating areas of the body that aid in reducing pain signals and sensations.

I use Master Tong's techniques for pain management. These techniques are great for patients because they involve less needles and produce better results than using Chinese medicine alone. When Chinese herbs are indicated they help to reduce pain and aid in sleeplessness due to pain.

I am an excellent listener and I take the time to explain procedures and options for each patient. Sometimes acupuncture is indicated for healing, sometimes Chinese herbs, and sometimes both. I also will refer patients out when Chinese medicine is not the treatment of choice.”
