Kim Kelly, ND, MPH, a licensed naturopathic doctor who works at Encinitas Acupuncture and Massage, offers alternative medicine solutions using an integrated natural medicine approach combining diet, exercise, lifestyle counseling, homeopathy, biopuncture, stress management, nutritional supplements and botanical medicine.

He also offers intravenous curcumin at his Encinitas clinic. “Curcumin has been used for thousands of years for culinary and medicinal reasons. People have used it to help with pain, inflammation, immune system and cancer. Intravenous curcumin is absorbed better, faster and can be given in much higher doses compared to taking it orally. Therefore, the benefits usually can be seen much sooner,” shares Dr. Kelly, who notes that many of his patients report benefits the same day of treatment.

“If you are suffering from pain, inflammation or arthritis, this may be the right treatment for you. It’s about a one-hour drip and may require multiple treatments or maybe just one treatment, depending on each person,” he adds.

Encinitas Acupuncture and Massage is located at 121 West E St., Encinitas. For more information, call 760-533-2883 or visit NatureDocKelly.com.
