Monica Kendall, ND, LAc
Naturopathic Doctor & Licensed Acupuncturist
About me
As a physician, my philosophy is to enter into a collaborative and non-judgmental space with my patients, respecting both their health history and their autonomy in making educated decisions around their health. My patients can expect to discuss a diverse range of treatment options, including conventional standard-of-care, pharmaceuticals, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Western botanical medicine, and lifestyle changes.
I am particularly passionate about Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture, and often integrate these modalities in with my primary care practice. I also have a special interest in pain management and offer additional modalities including regenerative joint injections (prolotherapy), dry needling, manual therapy, perineural injection therapy, neural therapy, and trigger point injections.
