Karsten Gryziec is a Board Certified and Licensed Acupuncturist. A Graduate with honors from the American College of Chinese Medicine, he also holds a certification in massage therapy (CMT) and has completed extensive training in the treatment of sports and orthopedic injuries. This training includes internships at the CPMC-Stoke Center and with 49er Medical Personnel. This experience and training provides the foundation to effectively treat patients from a wide variety of age- and fitness-levels.
Karsten approaches your health needs from a whole body and mind perspective with the goal of re-establish balance and thereby finding longer-lasting relief. A big part of his healing approach is educating the patient on methods of self help.
A traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis is arrived at by interviewing the patient, checking the pulse, looking at the tongue and inspecting the body. From these procedures, the practitioner discerns patterns of disharmony and determines a course of treatment.
Each person is unique and gets his or her own unique diagnosis. Therefore, the acupuncture treatment and herbal prescription will be tailor-made depending on your diagnosis. Ten different people can present with a migraine headache and each one may be treated differently, depending on their other signs and symptoms and health history.
Where Western medicine is often at a loss, traditional Chinese medicine excels at treating chronic or degenerative problems. At the other end of the spectrum, traditional Chinese medicine can be used preventively to keep you in balance. For instance, if you have a tendency to catch colds or the flu frequently, regular acupuncture treatments and supplementing with specific Chinese herbs can lead to a reduction or cessation of those episodes. For health maintenance, some people like to come in for a "tune-up" anywhere from 2 weeks to every 3 months, around the change of the seasons.
In either case, I will design a holistic treatment plan that specific to your condition. This plan lays out treatment methods, recovery time, estimated treatment cost with insurance, and expected outcome. The plan is revisited throughout your time here as we learn about your condition.
