My therapies have centered on pain management for over 15 years by working closely with patients and their physicians to find the best customized treatment for the individual.
My work and philosophy is rooted in a holistic childhood which included craniosacral, nutrition, spiritual discipline, and wellness as a lifestyle.
Later, I learned from my father, Dr. Harris M.Kimbrough, Jr. D. D.S. after attending The Chicago School of Massage (Cortiva-2007.) He specialized in osteopathic cranial therapy, nutrition, and homeopathy for dentistry. We had the fortunate experience to help people heal from cancer, M.S., and musculoskeletal dysfunction. We also held seminars with innovative physicians teaching Osteopathic therapies, nutrition, and homeopathy to
dentists for nearly 40 years.
I had the privilege to work side by side some of Chicagoland’s most innovative practitioners/professors passionate about integrating holistic care. These therapies have included visceral therapy as gastro-intestinal, and autoimmune disorders are on the rise. As a result of working in these areas, I found Traditional Chinese Medicine in line with my patients’ needs.
I pursued my TCM degree and graduated from The Midwest College of Oriental Medicine (2015) and have implemented these doctrines and treatments to my therapy. I address the muscular, visceral, meridian, and nervous systems disruptions, thus assisting the whole person’s innate healing response.
The fascia, tendons and muscle tissue are a great indicator of dysfunction and health. Deficiencies, poor nutrition/absorption, decreased circulation, adrenal/energy fatigue, hormonal changes, trauma, and excessive environmental conditions can lead to rigid muscles, inflammation, atrophy, and/or pain. This can inhibit blood flow, lymph, waste elimination, and eventually affect organ functions. Muscle balance is also important in pain management especially with lifestyle conditions including sitting, lifting, poor sleep habits, and long hours.
This is where we begin.
I assess the body using orthopedic testing, palpating musculoskeletal findings,
TCM diagnostics, emotional and environmental factors, trauma, and medical history to create a treatment custom to the individual, integrating with the patient’s physicians and current treatment plan. Optimizing the best possible journey to health and wellness.
