What to expect…

Initial Appointment

Conversation: We’ll review your health history; your current symptom profile; areas of strength and need; and goals for your sessions.

Assessment: We’ll do a physical assessment, which might including postural assessment, palpapation (in standing and lying down), special tests, pulse taking, tongue observation, and assessment of tender points on the abdomen.

Treatment: We’ll come up with a plan for the initial treatment. On the very first day, we want to set a foundation for the treatments to provide a base for our work together. We’ll clear any blocks to treatment, which might include the system not communicating effectively within the body kingdom. Finally, we’ll bring in a treatment that specifically addresses your primary concern.

Follow Up Sessions

Conversation: Time for a brief update on your condition and anything else that is pertinent to our work together.

Assessment: Pulses, palpation and anything else that is needed to determine course of treatment.

Treatment: Acupuncture and/or Dry Needling, an AcuNap, and any Manual Therapy modalities indicated.

Homework: We’ll provide homework to support your condition in a manner that fits your life. We are focused on sustainable change, which means, you have to be able to integrate our recommendations. If you can’t, WE’RE not doing our job! Our recommendations are always based on what’s reasonable for you!

Please note, before you get on the table, we will ask you to disrobe. Generally, you can keep underwear on (if you wear them - if you don’t no worries), however if you are treating sacral pain or the pelvic floor, this may not be possible. We will always keep you draped while you’re on the table.

5 Star Client Reviews

  • “I cannot say enough about Dr. Krystal! Her professionalism, knowledge, intuition and insight are truly unmatched! I have been working with her for several years as my trusted and go-to healer, whether it be an acute injury, major life event, pre/ postpartum, or just an energy reset. She is so devoted to her practice, her study and her clients, and that is felt with every session. She has helped me come back to myself again and again, and I am forever grateful for her and her work!”

    — Meg Haines

  • “Since being diagnosed over 4 yrs ago with PPMS I have been “looking” for a balanced approach with managing the progression of the disease while maintaining daily functional mobility. I feel that my monthly visits for acupuncture have “opened” my nerve communication. And the subtle yet amazing awareness came from noticing the feeling returning to my right big toe! With patience and understanding, through discussion and application, Dr Krystal has help me with feeling balanced.”


    — J “Lady Gnall” Gnall

  • “Krystal is amazing! She is caring, kind, and professional. She is generous with her time and energy and her passion for what she does shines through in the way she treats her patients. I feel relaxed after each session and have immediate positive physical and mental relief after a session with her. Highly recommend!”

    — Meaghan Hull

  • “Dr. Krystal is the perfect combination of knowledgeable & caring. She is not only an excellent practitioner who significantly helped improve my sacroiliac pain, but she is also a fantastic teacher. Should you find yourself with the opportunity to be seen by Dr. Krystal, count your lucky Stars!”

    — Devorah Walder

  • “I starting coming when I was in a very bad place. Regular therapy never worked for me and I gave up on it. I didn’t know what to expect but I never felt as good as I did following our appointments. It was like a light switch was turned on after seeing her every week. The things she told me to do helped me in ways I can’t explain. She gives perspective on life that those in general therapy cannot. Her supplements are top notch. It is 1000% better than getting to pills. I can’t recommend her enough.”

    — Georgie Troupe

  • "Dr. Krystal is amazing. I was brand new to acupuncture when I started seeing her. She has always made me feel safe, comfortable and supported. I really enjoy my Acu naps!"

    — Caitlynn Pitts

FAQs

  • We accept only private pay and HSA/FSA payments. This allows us to be guided by your body’s needs rather than general protocols and isolated body parts, to take a much time per session as needed and to achieve results faster based on your individual goals.

  • We treat all genders and ages with respect and honor.

  • At Pure Balance, we have a unique approach to health as our founder began as a PT and later became an acupuncturist. Our ethos supports a complimentary approach that is really tailored to your preferences and how your body responds. We are able to speak in the language of biomedicine and energy to fit your needs.

  • Absolutely! While not every provider understands how acupuncture works, many have seen it’s positive effects and will certainly support your journey to healing!

  • Generally speaking, acupuncture feels like a little prick, followed by an ache, this tends to resolve after just a few seconds. In the case of deeper work, like dry needling or muscle specific ashi point needling, the ache will dissipate after about 3 minutes in most cases. We always work within your tolerance, so if you don’t like deeper needling, we’ll work within the range of your comfort. We can achieve the best results by listening to your body.

  • This question is pretty difficult to answer because every situation is unique. That said, most people notice change within the first session. And nearly everyone says they feel so much more relaxed than when they walked in the door! The way acupuncture works is that it heals the whole body and is cumulative, thus, sometimes it heals something one might not expect. For example, you might be coming in for insomnia, and notice it steadily improving, but realize all of a sudden your digestion is the healthiest it’s been in years, then your headaches might clear and then your insomnia will be cured.
