Dr. Kaely Shull, DTCM, LAc, LCh, Dipl. OM, MSOM, ADS

I use Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and other complimentary modalities to address a wide variety of internal health concerns and orthopedic pain conditions for patients of all ages.  My approach to patient care incorporates gentle acupuncture techniques with compassion and a strong belief in patient education. Although I am qualified to treat most disorders and conditions, I am focused on family health, Orthopedic Pain disorders, and overall health from the inside out.

I have been fascinated with medicine and helping others since I was in elementary school. I spent my formative years dreaming of becoming a healthcare professional, I just didn’t know which route I wanted to go. While attending undergrad I spent a summer in Southwest China in the Yunnan Province where I underwent primary studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, focusing on community health in cities and rural communities. I was able to shadow doctors at the Yunnan Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Kunming, as well as study the medical traditions of minority communities of Yunnan, such as the Dongba Shamanic Medicine of the Naxi People in Lijiang and Tibetan Medicine in Zhongdian. My passion for Eastern Medicine was IGNITED during this time. Pictures of my trip to China
