Kevin T. Waldron, MASOM, L.Ac., is a graduate of Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. He has a master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and is nationally board certified in Acupuncture. Kevin's training includes an advanced internship in Shuguan Hospital for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shanghai, China, where he specialized in Traumatology and Internal Medicine. While in China, Kevin was privileged to work with some of Shanghai’s foremost experts in Traumatology, who shared their most effective topical and internal herbal formulas used in the treatment of both acute and chronic injury. Kevin is also nationally board certified in massage and body works, including techniques of Swedish massage and Tuina (traditional Chinese massage). Kevin uses a unique combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and body works to treat the body as a whole for a number of different medical conditions.
Kevin received his undergraduate degree at the University of Northern Colorado in Biology and Chemistry. He was involved in a number of research projects, his contributions earned him a number of recognitions and publications in peer review journals as an undergraduate. After graduation Kevin spent five years fighting wild land fire for the USDA Forest Service and Department of Interior, National Park Service. Two of these years were spent with the elite group of firefighters known as the Hotshots.
Before returning to school to pursue a career in acupuncture, Kevin held a job as a tech at University of Nebraska Medical Center in the ICU surgery/trauma unit. He also returned to research at a private lab in Boulder Colorado, where he worked in microbiology and electrochemistry.
Kevin has extensive knowledge and experience in empirical research as well as the natural sciences which has proven to be an excellent complement for the understanding of the human body, illness and the human/nature interaction. Using such schools of thought and philosophies as biochemistry, ecology, chaos theory, quantum theory, Taoism and Buddhism Kevin has a unique understanding of the human complex and its balanced place in its environment.
The conditions Kevin treats are primarily musculoskeletal pathologies, such as chronic pain, injury, nerve pain, headaches, back pain, knee pain, post-surgical pain, assistance in healing from surgery, and bone fracture healing. Even though these are his specialties, Traditional Chinese medicine requires that the whole body be treated in any condition. With this in mind, the treatment is not simply focused on the specific part of the body where the pathology resides, but includes looking at the entire system in order to find and address deficiencies or imbalances to help the body heal at its fullest potential. Many conditions require that a patient not only receive acupuncture, but also herbal treatment both topically and internal. By having this multi-faceted treatment protocol, the healing potential of the body is greatly increased, resulting in shorter healing and rehabilitation times, increased strength in the healing complex, and increased resistance to re-injury. |
